Overview
- Contains cutting edge techniques which greatly expand the depth and scope of classical invasive prenatal diagnosis
- Totally unique focus on novel non-invasive approaches for prenatal diagnosis
- Also of use to cancer researchers since chromosomal rearrangments are important, as is the ability to examine small amounts of material (single cells) or cell-free nucleic acids
Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Biology (MIMB, volume 444)

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"This comprehensive book describes invasive and noninvasive techniques for diagnosing various chromosomal and genetic disorders prenatally. … the book was written for molecular biologists and those involved in research in the area of prenatal medicine. … has a consistent style to convey the information, making each chapter readable and relatable to the previous chapters. … as a compilation of techniques and a description of the situations in prenatal medicine in which each technique might be useful, this is an excellent and detailed resource." (Gilad A. Gross, Doody’s Review Service, August, 2008)
