Abstract
The polymerase chain reaction was used to amplify a Y-specific repeat sequence in peripheral blood DNA samples from 19 pregnant women who had a gestational age of 9 to 41 weeks. Y-specific sequences were amplified from all 12 women who bore a male fetus but in none of 7 women who bore a female fetus. With stringent precautions against contamination, this technique may assist prenatal diagnosis of sex-linked genetic disorders.Entities:
