利用孕妇血浆DNA检测胎儿性别的研究

本文探讨应用孕妇血浆中游离DNA进行无创性产前性别诊断的可行性。用柱分离法提取73例孕妇血浆中DNA,用巢式PCR技术检测其胎儿SRY基因。 结果73位孕妇血浆DNA含量为0.0062~0.3399μg/μL。巢式PCR检测胎儿SRY基因的灵敏度为97.37%（37/38）,假阴性率2.86%(1/35),特异度85.71%（30/35）,假阳性率13.16%(5/38),总符合率91.78%（67/73）。采用孕妇血浆胎儿DNA和巢式PCR技术可以快速简便的进行无创性产前性别诊断,诊断结果的准确率为91.8%,对性连锁遗传病的预防具有重要意义。 Abstract:To investigate the feasibility and possibility of application of fetal DNA from maternal plasma for noninvasive prenatal diagnosis of fetal sex,plasma DNAs in blood samples of 73 pregnant women at the gestational period of 26 to 41 weeks were extracted by column separation and nested polymerase chain reaction were employed to amplify the SRY gene.A comparison was made between the amplification results and the real sex of the fetus after their delivery.The concordance rate of SRY gene amplification results of plasma free DNA with real fetal sex was 91.78% (67/73),the sensitivity rate was 97.37% (37/38),and the specific rate was 85.71% (30/35).The cell-free fetal DNA in maternal blood can be one of the valuable material sources for noninvasive prenatal diagnosis and the method of nested PCR could be useful for fetal sex determination.The specific rate of the test was 91.78%.It is of significance to prevent sex-linked inheritant diseases.     

北京地区汉族人群21号染色体上5个STR基因座的遗传多态性

阐明21号染色体上唐氏综合征关键区域内或附近的5个STR基因座（D21S1413、D21S1446、D21S1437、D21S1411、D21S1412）在北京地区汉族人群中的结构特征和群体遗传学数据。Chelex法提取血DNA,PCR扩增后,应用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳和银染法或基因片段扫描检测法进行STR分型,测序后确定STR基因座的主型和进行等位基因的命名。结果该5个STR基因座具有简单重复序列和遗传多态性,杂合度和多态信息含量高。它为唐氏综合征的基因诊断和产前基因诊断提供理论依据,也为这些遗传标记在我国人群中进行亲子鉴定和个体识别提供概率计算依据。Abstract: To elucidate the genetic polymorphisms of five STR loci on chromosome 21 in Chinese Han population and construct a preliminary database,EDTA-blood specimens were collected from unrelated individuals in Beijing. The DNAs were extracted with Chelex method and were amplified by PCR. The PCR products were analyzed by the PAG electrophoresis or by the approach of the automated fluorescent detection. The five STR loci consist of simple repeat motif and its distributions of genotypes are agreement with Hardy–Weinberg equation. Its polymorphism information content is all over 0.50. The obtained data can not only be used as evidences for genetic diagnosis of Down Syndrome, but also for calculating the probabilities in the paternity test and individual identification.
