Pregnancies with a Rhesus constellation still present a considerable obstetric problem. In addition, pregnancies with male Rhesus D fetuses are more severely affected by haemolytic disease of the newborn, requiring more transfusions in utero and having a three fold higher mortality than female Rhesus D fetuses. Furthermore, almost 150 X-linked genetic deficiencies have now been characterised, increasing the need for prenatal sex determination in pregnancies at risk for such a disorder. In order examine these two important fetal loci in a risk free manner, we have developed a novel multiplex real-time PCR assay for the analysis of extracellular fetal DNA in maternal plasma.
