A large‐scale evaluation of amnio‐PCR for the rapid prenatal diagnosis of fetal trisomy
1 Feb 2001
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Traditional chromosome preparation from amniotic fluid samples often involves lengthy culture procedures in order to obtain cells for analysis. Multiplex quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a new molecular biological technique capable of quantifying in-situ DNA without the need for cell culture. Our objective was to test the reliability of PCR using fetal DNA from amniotic fluid...
