Safe fetal platelet genotyping: new developments.

abstract：:The biochemical constituents of a 30-year-old sealed bottle of lyophilized plasma were analyzed. The results in this communication show that the process of lyophilization and storage has not seemed to cause any great changes in plasma components, including hormones, enzymes, and proteins. ...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Methods that detect a child's homozygosity by examination of allelic products are insensitive for diagnosing incest because, at a given locus, a homozygous state is expected with a frequency of only 0.25 when parents are first-degree relatives. Furthermore, these methods are not specific if the population co...
