Prenatal Diagnostics Ultrasound and serum markers Laboratory diagnostics of chromosomal anomalies: QF-PCR Karyotyping FISH MLPA CGH Sequencing (Non Invasive)
What is QF-PCR? The quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) has recently entered the field of prenatal diagnosis. The method allows rapid diagnosis
What is QF-PCR? This method tests the known chromosoms for aneupliodity to identify the most common trisomies in infants (trisomy 13, 18, 21) and to test the number of the sex chromosomes. QF-PCR is feasible on fewer cells.
Why QF-PCR? Results obtained within 24 hours from sample collect time The QF-PCR is a multiplex test, in a single reaction one can scan several mutations The QF PCR accuracy (over 98%) is a better solution than FISH It fully supports CGH results The protocol is user friendly
Overview of the procedure Clinical Sample (AF, CVS, blood or other tissue) DNA extraction PCR amplification of STRs markers Capillary electrophoresis (CE) Separation and identification of amplified DNA sequences Data interpretation Manual or Dedicated Software
Clinical Samples Amniotic Fluid (AF) Typically 1-3 ml is used for DNA extraction No need for culture Chorionic Villi Sample/Biopsy (CVS) - Two separate villi, 2-4 mm length, from different regions of the same sample should be analysed in parallell. Blood Less than 200 μl required Maternal blood sample should be analysed when Maternal Cell Contamination (MCC) is suspected in the prenatal sample Fetal blood, postnatal analysis
DNA extraction Selection of a high quality sample preparation method important assay performance and reproducibility fewer reruns instrument performance (capillary clogging) Measurement of DNA concentration sample archiving. Adsorption-desorption method recomended Silica column Magnetic beads Final DNA concentration Adjustment of elution volume based on pellet size Measuring DNA conc. Use Diluted TE or Water for DNA dissolving
PCR process 1. Starting DNA Template 5 3 3 5 Temperature Ambient 2. Separate Strands (denature) 95 C 3. Add primers (anneal) 58 C 4. Copy (extend) 72 C Repeat cycle (steps 1-4 above) to copy DNA exponentially
Multiplex PCR + Simultaneous amplification of multiple loci in one reaction + Increases the amount of information obtained per reaction + Reduces amount of DNA template required - Primer design becomes more and more challenging as the level of multiplexing increases - Reaction optimisation is highly empirical and therefore time consuming - Stringent control of reagents and components necessary to guarantee reproducibility
Short Tandem repeats (STRs) The repeat region is variable between alleles (chromosomes) The flanking regions where PCR primers bind are constant The PCR product size is defined by the primer positions Terminology Homozygote: Both alleles are the same length and cannot be resolved Heterozygote: Alleles have different length and can be resolved
STR analysis normal genotype Allele 1 112bp 60 bp (15 x 4bp) 124bp 296bp Allele 2 112bp 36bp (9 x 4bp) 124bp 272bp Two allele copies - Heterozygous Allele 1 112bp 28bp (7 x 4bp) 124bp 264bp Allele 2 112bp 28bp (7 x 4bp) 124bp 264bp Two allele copies- Homozygous
STR analysis abnormal genotype Allele 1 112bp 48 bp (12 x 4bp) 124bp 284bp Allele 2 112bp 44 bp (11 x 4bp) 124bp 280bp 28bp (7 x 4bp) Allele 3 112bp Trisomic triallelic pattern 124bp 264bp Allele 1 72bp 60 bp (15 x 4bp) 72bp 204bp Allele 2 72bp 36bp (9 x 4bp) 72bp 180bp Allele 3 72bp 36bp (9 x 4bp) 72bp 180bp Trisomic diallelic pattern
Non-variable markers The amplicon size for one given chromosome is constant The amplicon size differs between different chromosomes Chromosomes are identified from the amplicon size using identical primers for the chromosomes tested Sex chromosome 202 bp Autosomal chromosome Symbols 180 bp Conserved regions Unique regions Labelled primer Unlabelled primer
Non-variable markers The following non-variable markers are utilized in our QF-PCR Kits: XY1 (AMELOGENIN: chromosome X / chromosome Y) Y1 (SRY: chromosome Y) TS7 (chromosome 7 / chromosome X) for Turner Syndrome TS3 (chromosome X / chromosome 3) for Turner Syndrome
QF-PCR: Interpretation Ratio Uninformative (1 allele) 4 bp Normal (2 alleles) 1:1 4 bp Trisomy (2 alleles, abnormal ratio) 2:1 4 bp 4 bp Trisomy (3 alleles) 1:1:1
