Prenatal diagnosis of fetal trisomies is usually performed by cytogenetic analysis from amniotic fluid. However, this requires lengthy laboratory procedures, high costs and is unsuitable for large-scale screening of pregnant women. An alternative method, which is rapid, inexpensive and suitable for
A probe was generated from the YAC clone 831B9 that was suitable for the prenatal detection of trisomy 21using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). This probe was initially tested on a series of 650 unselected amniotic fluid samples prior to the karyotype being available. 630 were correctly id
