6. Tests That Use DNA from Mother’s Blood to Determine Sex of Fetus Often Effective Noninvasive prenatal determination of fetal sex could provide an important alternative to invasive cytogenetic determination, which is currently the gold standard for determining sex and single-gene disorders.

7. Tests That Use DNA from Mother’s Blood to Determine Sex of Fetus Often Effective Using cell-free fetal DNA which describes the test's ability to detect Y chromosome sequences within maternal samples, as well as the clinical validity of the test, as indicated by its ability to correctly identify fetal sex.

8. Tests That Use DNA from Mother’s Blood to Determine Sex of Fetus Often Effective Performance was high using maternal blood. DNA methodology and gestational age had the largest effects on test performance, with real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTQ-PCR) outperforming conventional PCR

9. Student observation lot of diseases have been diagnosticated latter on life's person , just because there is not technology for doing it, so here is a tool could help people to do it, preventing those identity, sexual, psychological, physical and family problems.

11. Genetic Analysis of Amniotic Fluid Shows Promise for Monitoring Fetal Development Using a previously developed SNAP gene panel as proof of concept, investigators determined that 7 of the 21 genes assayed were expressed differently depending on fetal sex or gestational age. Results were obtained from amniotic fluid supernatant samples from fetuses between 15 to 20 weeks of gestation, when standard amniotic fluid testing is performed.

12. Genetic Analysis of Amniotic Fluid Shows Promise for Monitoring Fetal Development According to the investigators, further studies using this gene panel approach could elucidate the complex immune pathways involved in the maternal-fetal relationship.

13. Genetic Analysis of Amniotic Fluid Shows Promise for Monitoring Fetal Development Focused fetal gene expression analysis of target genes found in amniotic fluid using Standardized NanoArray PCR (SNAP) technology. And showed that This analysis could be used to monitor fetal development.

14. Student observation A fetus development involve lot of moments and each one needs the biggest attention because in any of them could occur a mistake, having the tool for follow this process can give parents the thrusts they need or the opportunity to give the baby a prudent treatment and prevent with it something worst for baby´s live
