Non-invasive prenatal diagnosis of fetal trisomy 21 using cell-free fetal DNA in maternal blood
Since the existence of cell-free fetal DNA (cff-DNA) in maternal circulation was discovered, it has been identified as a promising source of fetal genetic material in the development of reliable methods for non-invasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD) of fetal trisomy 21 (T21). Currently, a prenatal diagnosis of fetal T21 is achieved through invasive techniques, such as chorionic villus sampling or a...
متن کاملFetal cells in maternal blood: state of the art for non-invasive prenatal diagnosis.
In Singapore, 1 in 5 pregnancies occur in mothers > 35 years old and genetic diseases, such as thalassaemia, are common. Current methods for the diagnosis of aneuploidy and monogenic disorders require invasive testing by amniocentesis, chorion villus biopsy or fetal blood sampling. These tests carry a procedure-related risk of miscarriage that is unacceptable to many couples. Development of non...
متن کاملCulture of fetal cells from maternal blood for prenatal diagnosis.
The isolation and analysis of fetal cells from maternal blood would allow non-invasive prenatal genetic screening and diagnosis. Over the past decade, progress has been made towards this goal using various enrichment strategies and analysis by fluorescence in-situ hybridization with chromosome-specific probes and PCR. One method that is currently being explored involves culturing fetal cells. D...
متن کامل[Non-invasive fetal trisomy (NIFTY) test in prenatal diagnosis].
NIFTY (Non-invasive Fetal Trisomy Test) is a non-invasive prenatal test which is used for diagnosing fetal trisomy. The test is based on the analysis of cell free fetal DNA (cffDNA) present in the plasma and serum of a pregnant woman. NIFTY allows to detect fetal trisomy of chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X and Y and also X monosomy. Abnormal NIFTY results still need to be verified using other diagnost...
متن کاملNon-invasive Prenatal Diagnosis of Chromosomal Aneuploidies and Microdeletion Syndrome Using Fetal Nucleated Red Blood Cells Isolated by Nanostructure Microchips
Detection of detached fetal nucleated red blood cells (fNRBCs) in the maternal peripheral blood may serve as a prospective testing method competing with the cell-free DNA, in non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). Methods: Herein, we introduce a facile and effective lab-on-a-chip method of fNRBCs detection using a capture-releasing material that is composed of biotin-doped polypyrrole nanopartic...
