      abstract = {DNA and RNA fractions can be isolated from a variety of  body fluids including whole blood, serum, plasma, urine,  saliva and cerebrospinal fluid from both patients and  healthy individuals. Such isolates can be exploited in the  early detection of clinical disorders, stratification of  patients for treatment, treatment monitoring and clinical  follow-up. In addition, the use in fetal medicine allows  the early detection of fetal sex, Rh factor and aneuploid  disorders as well as following both fetal and premature  born infant development. This volume is intended as a  primer for those who are interested in entering the field  of circulating nucleic acids. The areas covered in this  volume include: · Background and general biology of  circulating nucleic acids · Methodology · Applications of  circulating nucleic acids · Quality Assurance ·       Ethics},
