Molecular diagnosis of sex chromosome aneuploidy using quantitative PCR.

Numeric sex chromosome imbalances, or aneuploidies, are present in several pathological conditions including tumors, abnormal gestations, and clinical syndromes. Here we report a method to identify karyotypic imbalances of the X and Y chromosomes using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The polymerase chain reaction was used to quantitatively coamplify the sex chromosome linked genes ZFX and ZFY. Quantitation was facilitated by 1) use of a single primer set which recognizes both templates, 2) incorporation of radiolabelled nucleotides during amplification, and 3) use of amplification conditions which minimize heteroduplex formation. High accuracy of the method was confirmed by concordance with values expected from titrated male and female DNAs and cells from patients with sex chromosome aneuploidy. This approach provides a rapid and reproducible method of evaluating relative abundance of allelic genes, and might be applied to detection of autosomal aneuploidy.

Practical application of fluorescent quantitative PCR on Trisomy 21 in Chinese Han population

Objective To apply the fluorescent quantitative PCR method on the detection of Trisomy 21 by D21S11 locus and make a foundation for rapid prenatal diagnosis of Trisomy 21. Methods About 409 controls (39 amniotic fluid samples and 370 peripheral blood samples) and 35 patients (4 amniotic fluid samples and 31 peripheral blood samples) with Trisomy 21 were tested using fluorescent quantitative PCR by amplification of DNA fragment on D21S11 STR locus. The results were compared with conventional cytogenetic analysis to confirm the utility of this method. And the allele frequency distributions of D21S11 STR locus were analyzed. Results The 95% reference interval of fluorescent intensity ratios of peak heights of PCR products amplified from two alleles on D21S11 locus ranged from 0.84 to 1.42 (1.13 ± 0.29) in heterozygous controls. About 19 out of 35 patients showed a “diallelic“ pattern and their height ratio of fluorescent peaks of PCR products amplified from two alleles in patients with “diallelic” patterns were all outside of the 95% reference range of controls. The PCR products of DNA from 12 patients presented the third allele. No sample with the “monoallelic“ pattern was found. Four chimeras diagnosed by cytogenetic method could not be diagnosed by this method. There were 17 and 11 alleles found in controls and patients, respectively. About 343 out of 409 controls were heterozygous and the heterozygosity was 83.86%. We did not find any significant differences in the frequency distributions of alleles on D21S11 locus between controls and patients. But there were significant differences in the frequency distributions of alleles on D21S11 locus between controls and patients. But there were significant differences in the frequency distributions of alleles on D21S11 locus among different populations. Conclusions The fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction method was rapid, accurate, and only small amount of starting material was needed, it could be applied in rapid prenatal diagnosis of Trisomy 21. D21S11 was a good marker with high heterozygosity for the screening of Trisomy 21. And the frequency distributions of alleles on D21S11 locus were significantly related to ethnic background.

Development and application of a TaqMan real-time PCR assay for rapid detection of Magnaporthe poae

In North America, one of the most important root diseases of Poa and Festuca turf is summer patch, caused by Magnaporthe poae. Detection and identification of M. poae in infected roots by conventional culture-based methods is difficult and time consuming, typically taking 3 wk or longer to accomplish. In this study, a culture-independent, TaqMan real-time PCR assay was developed for the detection of M. poae from the roots of fungicide treated and non-treated Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) turf. The assay was validated with the target pathogen, closely related fungal species and a number of other microorganisms that inhabit the same host and soil environment. This assay was more sensitive (could detect as little as 3.88 pg genomic DNA of M. poae), rapid and accurate compared to direct microscopic observation and isolation on a selective medium. The real-time PCR detection results corresponded closely to visual assessments of disease severity in the field. Utilization of this assay in diagnostic laboratories will enable turfgrass managers to more quickly and effectively detect and potentially reduce fungicide usage through early and accurate identification of the pathogen.     

Rapid detection of selected aneuploidies by quantitative fluorescent PCR

Selected aneuploidies can be rapidly diagnosed by the analysis of fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products of chromosome-specific and highly polymorphic small tandem repeats (STRs). The quantitative STR patterns obtained from samples of normal individuals are markedly different from those seen when patients with aneuploidies involving chromosome X, or trisomies of chromosomes 21 and 18, are tested. For example, while samples from normal subjects – tested with a chromosome 21-derived STR (D21S11) – show two fluorescent PCR peaks with similar activities in a 1:1 ratio, the analysis of samples from patients with trisomy 21 reveals the presence of either three peaks (ratio 1:1:1), or two peaks with a ratio of 2:1. The use of an internal non-polymorphic marker allows identification of trisomic samples with three copies of the same allele. This rapid approach (24 hours) is particularly valuable when applied to prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities since it reduces the time of anxiety of the parents waiting for the results of the conventional cytogenetic tests, which require several weeks.     

A novel and rapid method for synthesizing positive controls and standards for quantitative PCR

We developed and tested a method to produce DNA standards and controls for quantitative PCR by designing and performing partial hybridization of long oligonucleotides before double stranded DNA fragments were synthesized and subsequently amplified by conventional PCR. This approach does not require any natural DNA template. Applications include the production of standards, which cannot be easily produced from DNA extracted from bacteria or plants.     

Molecular methods for rapid detection of aneuploidy

Rapid molecular biological methods for prenatal diagnosis of the most common aneuploidies, collectively known as rapid aneuploidy testing, are compared in this review. We discuss methodological problems and limitations of these various methods. All these techniques are believed to be accurate and carry a low risk of misdiagnosis, but they differ in terms of labour-intensity and amenability to automation and high throughput testing. The question how to apply them safely and economically in a clinical setting has not been answered yet. The discussed techniques are so far not used as stand-alone tests, but some of them are routinely applied as a preliminary test that shortens the waiting time for classic cytogenetic karyotyping. In the future, mainly because of economical reasons, these methods may replace cytogenetics in the category of patients who make up the majority of those currently offered prenatal karyotyping: patients with moderately increased risk and no abnormalities detected by ultrasound.     

Development of a PCR marker for rapid identification of the Bt-10 gene for common bunt resistance in wheat.

In western Canada, the Bt-10 resistance gene in wheat (Triticum aestivum) is effective against all the known races of common bunt caused by Tilletia tritici and T laevis. The genotypes of 199 F2 plants, originated from a cross between BW553 containing Bt-10 and the susceptible spring wheat cultivar 'Neepawa,' were established in greenhouse and field inoculation studies. A ratio of 1:2:1 resistant : heterozygous : susceptible was observed for bunt reaction, indicating that Bt-10 was expressed in a partially dominant fashion. A polymorphic DNA fragment, amplified using RAPD, and previously shown to be linked to Bt-10 was sequenced and SCAR (sequence characterized amplified region) primers devised. However, SCAR primers failed to amplify the polymorphic fragment. Restriction of PCR products with DraI revealed a polymorphic fragment of 490 bp resulting from a single base pair difference between lines possessing Bt-10 and those lacking the gene. As per the base pair difference, FSD and RSA primers were designed to generate a 275-bp polymorphic DNA fragment. Both 275- and 490-bp polymorphic fragments were present in all of the 22 cultivars known to carry Bt-10, and absent in all 16 cultivars lacking Bt-10. A 3:1 ratio was observed for presence: absence of the 275-bp marker in the F2 population. Using Southern analysis, the 490-bp fragment was effective in differentiating homozygous resistant plants from those heterozygous for Bt-10, based on its presence and the hybridization signal strength. A 1:2:1 resistant : heterozygous : susceptible ratio was also observed for the molecular marker and corresponded to 88% of the phenotypes deduced from the original F2 population. The molecular marker was estimated to be between 1.1 cM and 6.5 cM away from the Bt-10 resistance gene, based on the segregation analysis. Segregation analyses of Bt-10 and the 275-bp marker, evaluated in three different Canada Prairie Spring (CPS) wheat populations, demonstrated a segregation ratio of 3:1 for the molecular marker in two of the populations. These results demonstrated that the PCR marker system using the FSD and RSA primer pair permitted a rapid and reliable identification of individual lines carrying the Bt-10 gene for resistance to common bunt.
