Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the value of real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR in the diagnosis of chromosome anepuploidy.
METHODSABCC4 gene on chromosome 13, TYMS gene on chromosome 18, DSCR3 gene on chromosome 21, HPRT2 gene on chromosome X, and SRY gene on Y chromosome were used as the target genes, with GAPDH gene on chromosome 12 as the control gene. Using double-standard curve fluorescent relative quantitative PCR method with SYBR Green as the fluorescent dye, the gene expression levels were detected and the results were compared with those of karyotype analysis.
RESULTSThe ratio of the target gene on chromosome 13 to the control gene showed a significant difference between the normal karyotype group (0.90 - or + 0.31) and trisome group (1.39 - or + 0.12, P=0.003), and the genes on chromosome 18 (1.07 - or + 0.44 vs 1.66 - or + 0.12, P=0.000) and chromosome 21 (0.84 - or + 0.27 vs 1.73 - or + 0.54, P=0.000) showed similar results. The expression of the genes on the X chromosome showed no significant difference between 45, X group and 46,XY group (0.62 - or + 0.12 vs 0.63 - or + 0.25, P=0.965), nor between 46, XX group and 47,XXY group (1.32 - or + 0.37 vs 1.20 - or + 0.35, P=0.326), while a significant difference was noted between the single copy X (including 45,X and 46,XY) and two copies X (46,XX and 47,XXY) (0.63 - or + 0.23 vs 1.26 - or + 0.36, P=0.000). The expression of the target gene on the Y chromosome was not detected in normal females (46,XX), and a significant difference in the expression was found between normal male group (46,XY) and 47,XYY group (1.57 - or + 0.54 vs 3.08 - or + 0.15, P=0.003).
CONCLUSIONSYBR Green I real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR can be used for the purpose of rapid diagnosis of chromosome aneuploidy.
