NEW DATA SUPPORTS A NON-INVASIVE APPROACH TO ROUTINE PRENATAL GE - The most amazing videos are a click away

From the Sequenom website:

Sequenom’s technology is based on the work of Professor Dennis Lo, and isolates and analyzes circulating fetal nucleic acid from a maternal blood sample. The technology has particular promise for developing new, non-invasive tests for fetal gene and chromosome abnormalities such as Down Syndrome, Cystic Fibrosis and Tay Sachs, as well as pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia and preterm labor. Through key partnerships with genetic testing laboratories, we expect to have our first test for fetal RhD available in 2007.
