Abstract:

Objective To select common chromosome short tandem repeat(STR) for Shanghai Han population,and to optimize the site amplification conditions into a determination system. Quantitation fluorescence polymerase chain reaction(QF-PCR) will be used for the rapid prenatal diagnosis of fetal common chromosome aneuploidies. Methods Through the polymorphism analysis of 48 healthy Han population in Shanghai,STR heterozygosities on 13,18,21,X and Y chromosomes were evaluated. STR with high polymorphism was selected and optimized into a determination system,and the sensitivity and specificity were evaluated in the determination system by 36 samples [22 cases of amniotic fluid,9 cases of cord blood and 5 cases of chorionic villus samples(CVS)]. Chromosome karyotype analysis was performed simultaneously,and the effectiveness of the established method was evaluated. Results A total of 14 STR were selected in STR heterozygosity test,and they were D13S258(0.88),D13S305(0.90),D13S634(0.92),D13S742(0.83),D18S535(0.81),D18S1002(0.69),D18S386(0.75),D18S391(0.77),D21S1435(0.75),D21S1412(0.94),D21S1446(0.58),D21S1414(0.85),DXS7132(0.77) and DXY218(0.71),together with sex chromosome of qualitative and quantitative specific STR of AMXY,SRY and TAF9B into optimizing an amplification system. The system was used to determine 36 samples of amniotic fluid,cord blood and CVS. There were 35 cases with abnormal chromosome numbers,including 15 cases of trisomy 21(Down's),12 cases of trisomy 18(Edward),4 cases of trisomy 13(Patau),2 cases of 45,XO(Turner),1 case of 47,XXY(Klinefelter) and 1 case of 47,XYY(Super-Man). The remaining 1 case was 46,XX(healthy female). The results of QF-PCR were as same as the results of chromosome karyotype analysis. Conclusions Selected 14 STR show high polymorphism in Shanghai Han population,and sex chromosome qualitative and quantitative specific STR constitute a QF-PCR determination system,which can accurately determine 13,18,21,X and Y chromosome aneuploidies. QF-PCR is a rapid,accurate,economic and efficient method for the rapid prenatal diagnosis of fetal common chromosome aneuploidies in Shanghai Han population.
