Development of a Multiplex Selected Reaction Monitoring Assay for Quantification of Biochemical Markers of Down Syndrome in Amniotic Fluid Samples
9 Jun 2012
Abstract excerpt
Down syndrome (DS) is one of the most common chromosomal abnormalities affecting about 1 of every 700 fetuses. Current screening strategies have detection rates of 90-95% at a 5% false positive rate. The aim of this study was to discover new biomarkers of DS in amniotic fluid by using a multiplex selected reaction monitoring assay. Nine proteins were analyzed: CEL, CPA1, MUC13, CLCA1, MUC5AC, PLUNC, and HAPLN1,...
