High levels of maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein and human chorionic gonadotrophins leading to the diagnosis of combined neural tube defect and partial mole.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:To test the hypothesis that free fetal DNA (ffDNA) circulating in maternal plasma originates mainly from the placenta we studied ffDNA levels in anembryonic pregnancies. METHODS:Maternal blood samples were collected from 15 normal first-trimester pregnancies in which fetal sex was subsequently determined and...
