Comparison of QF-PCR and FISH for Aneuploidy Detection in Prenatal Diagnosis [PDF]
Introduction: Among all chromosomes (46) in the human genome, particular significance has been given to chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X and Y. This is primarily because of aneuploidy in these chromosomes that result in viable pregnancies with congenital ...

<i>Coxiella burnetii</i> Infection Among Blood Donors From Baden-Wuerttemberg Province and Hesse Province, Germany: A Multicentre Cross-Sectional Serological Study. [PDF]
This study analyzes the seroprevalence of Coxiella burnetii in a German non‐risk population using a stratified sampling approach across two federal states (n = 8400 potential samples). Screening of over 5000 blood donors reveals an overall seroprevalence of 2.96%.

A prenatal case of partial trisomy 21 (q22.2q22.3), resulting from a paternal insertion translocation ins(16;21) and uncovered by QF‐PCR, and characterized by array CGH and FISH [PDF]
Key Clinical Message In addition to detecting trisomies of whole chromosomes, QF‐PCR can also detect partial trisomies of the chromosomes 13, 18, and 21, which can suggest an unbalanced translocation.

Genetic Evaluation of Spontaneous Miscarriages and Couples through Conventional and Modern Diagnostic Tools [PDF]
Background: Genetic causes of miscarriages have been extensively reported and studied in almost half of the first-trimester pregnancy losses, for that reason genetic investigations of the products of conceptions (POCs) are crucial to help identify ...

Assessment of QF-PCR as the first approach in prenatal diagnosis. [PDF]
Quantitative fluorescent PCR (QF-PCR) has been used by many laboratories for prenatal diagnosis of the most common aneuploidies. QF-PCR is rapid, cost-effective, and suitable for automation and can detect most abnormalities diagnosed by conventional karyotyping.

Chromosome Abnormality Detection Rates of QF-PCR in Early Pregnancy Loss. [PDF]
Early pregnancy loss (EPL) is the most common form of miscarriage and establishing its exact etiology is vital for the proper prognosis and management of possible future pregnancies. The aim of our study was to assess the incidence and types of chromosome abnormalities in product-of-conception (POC) samples analyzed by Quantitative Fluorescent ...

Segmental Duplications as a Complement Strategy to Short Tandem Repeats in the Prenatal Diagnosis of Down Syndrome [PDF]
Background: Quantitative fluorescence-polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) is an inexpensive and accurate method for the prenatal diagnosis of aneuploidies that applies short tandem repeats (STRs) as a chromosome-specific marker.

Confirmatory test versus screening test analyses for fetal mosaic variations; a large scale study
Background Mosaic genetic anomaly is a problematic and interpretative issue in prenatal diagnosis. Conventional karyotyping, as a confirmatory test traditionally used for detecting mosaic and nonmosiac prenatal disorders.
