A long-sought goal of obstetrics and medical genetics has been development of prenatal diagnostic procedures that do not endanger the fetus. The possibility of analysis of fetal cells isolated from maternal blood was first suggested by Walknowska and colleagues in 1969.'In their report, metaphase spreads purportedly containing Y chromosomes were demonstrated in blood from women carrying male fetuses. Since then, various studies have proposed different approaches for the isolation, recovery, and analysis of fetal cells in maternal blood. Research has most recently focused on attempts at recovering specific fetal nucleated cell types, as DNA and chromosomes are contained only in cells that possess a nucleus. Our own group first began investigating the possibility of isolating fetal cells from maternal blood for prenatal diagnosis in 1986. In this presentation we will review our own experience at the University of Tennessee, Memphis. The original works cited in the references provide further details.
