Summary
This study tested a new, safer way to check for certain genetic diseases during pregnancy using a simple blood draw from the mother. Researchers looked for fetal cells in the mother's blood to diagnose conditions like Huntington's disease and Fragile X syndrome. The goal was to see if this blood test gives the same results as the standard invasive tests (amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling). 60 pregnant women at risk participated.
