Rapid Prenatal Diagnosis of Chromosomal Aneuploidies Using Quantitative Fluorescence Polymerase Chain Reaction (QF-PCR)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction: Prenatal diagnosis plays an important role in determining the health of fetus, which is why rapid diagnostic tests are so important. One of these quick diagnostic tests is quantitative fluorescent-polymerase chain (QFPCR) technique. This technique employed to detect chromosomal aneuploidies (13, 18, 21, X and Y). In this method, there is no need for cell culturing. QFPCR is rapid, suitable for automation, low cost and faster turnaround time. Material and Methods: In this study, 260 patients were studied, and analyzed by 26 short tandem repeat (STR) markers for detection of chromosomal abnormalities. The QF-PCR assay was performed by Devyser kit (Sweden). First DNA was extracted, and then PCR was performed, PCR products were run on capillary electrophoresis system, and finally analyzed by the Genemarker Software. Results: The results of QF-PCR were as follows: trisomy 21 (6 cases), 18 (3 cases), triploidy (1 case), klinefelter syndrome (1 case), without suspicion of any mosaicism. Conclusion: Prenatal diagnostic outcomes give early results, thus reducing parental anxiety and increasing clinical management of a high risk pregnancy.

Validation of QF-PCR for prenatal diagnoses in a Brazilian population
OBJECTIVES: Quantitative fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) is a rapid and reliable method for screening aneuploidies, but in Brazil, it is not used in public services. We investigated the accuracy of QF-PCR for the prenatal recognition of common aneuploidies and compared these results with cytogenetic results in our laboratory. METHOD: A ChromoQuant QF-PCR kit containing 24 prim...

Objectives: The currently available methods for rapid prenatal diagnosis of common chromosomal aneuploidies are either Inter-phase-Fluorescence in Situ Hybridisation (I-FISH) or Quantitative Fluorescent Polymerase Chain Reaction (QF-PCR). QF-PCR represents a rapid, high throughput, cost-effective alternative for Interphase-FISH. The objective of the study was to evaluate the performance of QF-P...
متن کاملRapid prenatal diagnosis of common chromosome aneuploidies by QF-PCR, results of 9 years of clinical experience.
BACKGROUND Despite being deliberately targeted to common chromosome aneuploidies, the rapid quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) tests can detect the majority of chromosome abnormalities in prenatal diagnosis. The main advantages of this assay are low cost, speed and automation allowing large-scale application. METHODS We developed a QF-PCR test that was applied on 43 0...

OBJECTIVE G-Banding followed by standard chromosome analysis is routinely used for prenatal detection of chromosomal abnormalities. In recent years, molecular cytogenetic techniques have been developed for rapid diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities. Among these methods Quantitative Florescence Polymerase Chain Reaction (QF-PCR) has been widely used for this purpose. Heterozygosity of short ta...
متن کاملValidation of quantitative fluorescent-PCR for rapid prenatal diagnosis of common aneuploidies in the Chinese population.
Quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) is an accurate and reliable method for rapid detection of aneuploidy; however, it is not routinely used in China. We aimed to validate QF-PCR as a means for prenatal common aneuploidy screening and to analyze the heterozygosities of short tandem repeat (STR) markers in the Chinese population. The sequences of 19 STR markers in chromoso...
