In case of termination of pregnancy or abortions which is the best source of fetal DNA? Umbilical cord, liver or any other tissues if fetal blood is not available?
We use skin or muscle usually - autolysis is quicker in the liver and cord not always so plentiful as a supply of DNA
Thank you Dr Brown. Which is best method to store these tissues? Can we use NaCl salini and store it at -20 degrees for long before extracting?
Proliferation of neurons still continues and also it is difficult to diagnose vermian agenesis before 18 weeks.
