Rapid detection of chromosomal aneuploidies in uncultured amniocytes by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA)
1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To test whether multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) can be used for the detection of aneuploidy of chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X, and Y in uncultured amniocytes. METHODS: We performed a prospective study based on 527 amniotic fluid samples. Chromosome copy numbers were determined by analysing the relative amount of PCR product of chromosome-specific MLPA probes. Results were available...
