Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Molecular approaches for the detection of chromosomal abnormalities will allow the development of rapid, cost-effective screening strategies. We present here a molecular alternative for the detection of aneuploidies and, more specifically, trisomy 21. METHODS: We used the quantitative value of melting curve analysis of heterozygous genetic loci to establish a relative allelic count. The two alleles of...
