Fetal DNA in Maternal Plasma in Twin Pregnancies

Abstract

specifically, we hope to generate mAbs capable of unambiguously identifying the apoE4 isoform, similar to a previously described mAb (6 ). Because the inheritance of this allele has been demonstrated to be associated with an increased risk for the development of atherosclerosis and late-onset Alzheimer disease (7 ), such a tool would be of considerable use to evaluate health risks associated with the expression of this allele.
