摘要
Objective To develop a sensitive, specific, simple, cost-effective and reproducible platform for the non-invasive prenatal detection of paternally inherited alleles for beta-thalassaemia. The development of such an assay is of major significance in order to replace currently-applied invasive methods containing inherent fetal loss risks. Methods We present a fast Temperature-Gradient Co-amplification at Lower Denaturation Temperature Polymerase Chain Reaction (fast TG COLD PCR) methodology for the detection of the paternally-inherited fetal alleles in maternal plasma. Two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs7480526 (G/T) and rs968857 (G/A) that are located on the beta-globin gene cluster and exhibit a high degree of heterozygosity in the Cypriot population were selected for evaluation. Seventeen maternal plasma samples from pregnancies at risk for beta-thalassemia were analysed for the selected SNPs using the novel fast TG COLD PCR assay. Results Using fast TG COLD PCR, the paternally inherited allele in cell free fetal DNA was correctly determined for all the 17 maternal plasma samples tested, showing full agreement with the Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) analysis. Conclusions Our findings are encouraging and demonstrate the efficiency and sensitivity of fast TG COLD PCR in detecting the minor paternally-inherited fetal alleles in maternal plasma for the development of a NIPD assay for beta-thalassaemia.
