Maternal blood is sampled by venipuncture.

Sequencing of circulating cell free dna during pregnancy. Cell free fetal dna cffdna is fetal dna that circulates freely in the maternal blood. Sequencing of cell free dna during pregnancy biology because they show that fetuses with rare autosomal trisomies can survive well into the third trimester. Two hours after delivery cffdna is no longer detectable in maternal blood. This review describes the basis.

Sequencing the fetal dna that circulates in a pregnant woman s blood holds promise for modern genomic medicine according to a review article by diana w. Fetal dna sequencing improves the accuracy of prenatal screening tests for genetic conditions and at times has led to the diagnosis of maternal conditions that may have otherwise gone undetected.
