The present invention relates to new methods for diagnosing a pregnancy-associated disorder by analyzing fetal DNA present in the mother’s blood. More specifically, this invention relies on the discovery that the maspin gene is differentially methylated in fetal DNA and in maternal DNA and provides.....

Ankle sprain injury is the most common single type of sport injury. In studying ankle sprain motion, trap-door and inversion platforms were commonly used. However, these devices introduce a rather pure inversion at the ankle joint. In fact, most ankle sprain injuries compromise of a combination o.....

The non-invasive detection of fetal chromosomal aneuploidies is demonstrated. Alleles of fetal RNA-SNPs present in a biological sample (e.g. maternal blood) containing fetal RNA are detected and quantified in order to determine the ratio of the alleles. This ratio is compared to a standard control.....
