DNA and RNA fractions have been isolated from whole blood, serum,
plasma, the surface of blood cells, and urine from both healthy
persons and patients. Specific fragments have been identified as
being related to particular disorders, for example, diabetes,
cancer, myocardial infarction, and stroke. The ability to isolate
these fractions and assess their relationship to specific diseases
makes early noninvasive diagnosis possible.
This volume reports on the most recent progress in this field,
including chapters on developing protocols for nucleic acid
extraction, determining the origin of the circulating nucleic
acids, the capacity of these nucleic acids to enter cells and
exhibit biological activity, isolating and testing fetal cells from
maternal blood, and discussing the clinical implications of these
discoveries and developing the techniques that will bring them into
clinical application.
