Prenatal detection of fetal aneuploidies using transcervical cell samples.

Prenatal detection of fetal aneuploidies using transcervical cell samples.

In the course of an investigation aimed at detecting the presence of trophoblastic cells in the endocervical canal of pregnant women between 7 and 17 weeks of gestation, several cases of aneuploidies were observed using a fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH) assay. The cases include fetal chromosome 21 and 18 trisomies, triploidy and sex chromosome aneuploidies. The results were confirmed b...

Noninvasive Prenatal Testing for Fetal Aneuploidies Using Cell-Free Fetal DNA - 5/26/17

National guidelines recommend that all pregnant women be offered screening for fetal chromosomal abnormalities, the majority of which are aneuploidies (an abnormal number of chromosomes). The trisomy syndromes are aneuploidies involving 3 copies of 1 chromosome. Trisomies 21 (T21), 18 (T18), and 13 (T13) are the most common forms of fetal aneuploidy that survive to birth. Noninvasive prenatal s...

prenatal diagnosis of fetal aneuploidies using qf-pcr in 333 cases

introduction: the most common chromosomal abnormalities detected in perinatal period are aneuploidies of chromosome 21, 18, 13, x and y. the aim of this study is to assess referral reasons for invasive diagnostic method using rapid qf-pcr for fetal chromosomal abnormalities in gynecologists’ referrals. methods: a retrospective study of results was performed on data between september 2015 and ju...

Prenatal diagnosis of fetal aneuploidies using QF-PCR: the egyptian study.

BACKGROUND The most common chromosomal abnormalities identified at birth are aneuploidies of chromosome 21, 18, 13, X and Y. Prenatal diagnosis of fetal aneuploidies is routinely done by traditional cytogenetic culture; a major drawback of this technique is the long period of time required to reach a diagnosis. In this study we evaluated the QF-PCR as a rapid technique for prenatal diagnosis of...
