Abstract
Provided herein are compositions, processes and kits for noninvasive, early determination of fetal sex from, and/or amount of fetal nucleic acid in, an extracellular nucleic acid sample from a pregnant female. Such compositions, processes and kits are useful for detection of low genomic copy numbers of male fetal nucleic acid in a high copy number background of female nucleic acid, thereby determining the sex of a fetus and/or amount of fetal nucleic acid in a sample.
