Objective: Fetal cells and circulating cellfree fetal DNA increases in the maternal circulation in women carrying trisomy 21 fetus. Methods: We attempted the use of superoxide dismutase (SOD-1) gene, which is located at the Down Syndrome Critical Region, to overcome this situation for the prenatal screening of Down syndrome. The prospective of the gene using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was explored. Results: The level of SOD-1 sequences is significantly elevated in the third trimester normal pregnancies (mean = 11728 copies/μl) when compared to the second trimester (mean = 5705.6 copies/μl), (p<0.005) and non pregnant normal women (mean = 3580.2 copies/μl), (p<0.0001). Down syndrome pregnancies have the greates...
