Prenatal exclusion of recessively inherited disorders: should maternal plasma analysis precede invasive techniques?
Since the presence of large amounts of circulating fetal DNA in maternal plasma and serum samples was first reported by Lo et al. in 1997 (1 ), a multitude of clinical applications for the noninvasive diagnosis of complications of pregnancy have been reported [reviewed in Ref. (2 )]. These applications have largely focused on the quantification of male fetal DNA in maternal plasma/ serum sample...
متن کاملPrenatal Diagnosis of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Caused by P450 Oxidoreductase Deficiency
CONTEXT Mutations in the electron donor enzyme P450 oxidoreductase (POR) result in congenital adrenal hyperplasia with apparent combined 17α-hydroxylase/17,20 lyase and 21-hydroxylase deficiencies, also termed P450 oxidoreductase deficiency (PORD). Major clinical features present in PORD are disordered sex development in affected individuals of both sexes, glucocorticoid deficiency, and multipl...
متن کاملNoninvasive prenatal diagnosis of fetal chromosomal aneuploidies by maternal plasma nucleic acid analysis.
BACKGROUND The discovery of circulating cell-free fetal nucleic acids in maternal plasma has opened up new possibilities for noninvasive prenatal diagnosis. The potential application of this technology for the noninvasive prenatal detection of fetal chromosomal aneuploidies is an aspect of this field that is being actively investigated. The main challenge of work in this area is the fact that c...
متن کاملPrenatal diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia: reliability of amniotic fluid steroid analysis.
The concentration of 170H-progesterone was measured in amniotic fluid samples collected from 55 mothers who had previously had a child with congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency. In eight pregnancies the levels of 170H-progesterone were raised; the parents elected to terminate in four and examinations of the fetus confirmed the diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplas...
متن کاملRefining noninvasive prenatal diagnosis with single-molecule next-generation sequencing.
The gradual elimination of risky procedures used to sample fetal material for prenatal diagnosis has been an important objective in medicine. It is often stated that more fetuses are lost due to such invasive procedures (amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling) than are identified as carrying a chromosomal abnormality. Noninvasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD) has developed substantially since ...
