The relationship between gestational age and frequency of fetal cells in the maternal blood was studied in order to determine the optimal time for cell recovery. The immunomagnetic colloid system was used to enrich nucleated erythrocytes (NRBCs) and trophoblasts from 20 ml maternal blood samples obtained between 9 and 35 weeks' gestation (n=41). Nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the Y chromosome of enriched NRBCs and trophoblasts showed decreasing negative predictive values with increasing gestational age. The sensitivity and the overall frequency for correct fetal gender diagnosis were the lowest in the third trimester. Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) using XY DNA-specific probes was used to determine the fetal gender of the trophoblast-enriched fraction. The fetal origin of enriched NRBCs was determined using simultaneous immunophenotyping for fetal hemoglobin and FISH with XY probes. The mean number and mean percentage purity for both fetal trophoblasts and NRBCs showed decreasing values with increasing gestational age. However, statistical analysis showed no relationship between gestational age and frequency of fetal cells even though more fetal cells tend to exist during the first trimester. Nevertheless, the first trimester appears to offer the most optimal time for fetal cell recovery from maternal blood for the purpose of prenatal diagnosis.
