FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda THURSDAY, Jan. 5 (HealthDay News) — New research suggests that a
blood test may one day be able to tell expectant mothers the gender of
their baby as early as the first trimester.
Such a test would be the first of its kind, according to the South
Korean researchers.
They collected blood samples from more than 200 women in the first
trimester of pregnancy and concluded that various ratios of two enzymes
called DYS14 and GAPDH in a pregnant woman’s blood indicate if a baby will
be a girl or a boy.
The study appears in the January issue of the FASEB Journal,
published by the Federation of American Societies for Experimental
Biology.
“Generally, early fetal gender determination has been performed by
invasive procedures such as chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis,”
said Dr. Hyun Mee Ryu, from the department of obstetrics and gynecology at
Cheil General Hospital and Women’s Healthcare Center at the KwanDong
University School of Medicine in Seoul. “However, these invasive
procedures still carry a one to two percent risk of miscarriage and cannot
be performed until 11 weeks of gestation. Moreover, reliable determination
of fetal gender using ultrasonography cannot be performed in the first
trimester, because the development of external genitalia is not complete,”
the researcher added in a journal news release.
“Therefore, this can reduce the need for invasive procedures in
pregnant women carrying an X-linked chromosomal abnormality and clarify
inconclusive readings by ultrasound,” the researcher explained.
More research is needed before such tests are widely available, the
researchers said. But, “this paper does show it is possible to predict the
sex of a child as early as the first few weeks after conception,” Dr.
Gerald Weissmann, editor-in-chief of The FASEB Journal, said in the
news release.
“At present, parents are sometimes given the wrong information about
the sex of their unborn child; this test should prove helpful in resolving
any uncertainties of today’s ultrasound observations,” he added.
