Molecular prenatal diagnosis of ataxia telangiectasia heterozygosity by direct mutational assays.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:To estimate the utility of maternal serum ADAM12 as a Down's syndrome marker. METHODS:Samples from 71 Down's syndrome affected pregnancies were retrieved from - 20 degrees C storage together with 710 controls matched for gestation and storage time. ADAM12 was measured prior to identification of the affected ...
