QF-PCR refers to the amplification of chromosome-specific polymorphic microsatellite markers using fluorescence-labelled primers, followed by semi-quantitative analysis of the products on a genetic analyser to determine copy number and/or imbalances of specific chromosomal material. This approach is now widely used for rapid prenatal diagnosis of the common trisomies. In addition, it can successfully detect...
