IMPROVED METHOD OF PERFORMING GENETIC ANALYSES ON REPRODUCTIVE TRACT CELL SAMPLES

摘要

The invention provides methods of analysing the genetic characteristics of foetal cells in mixed cell samples taken from a pregnant mammalian subject. The methods comprise the steps of a) Taking a cell sample from the reproductive tract of a pregnant subject, preferably the cervix, b) Isolating one or more foetal cells, from the sample, and c) Analysing the genetic characteristics of the foetal cells.
