To use a 6-hr fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) procedure involving fluorochrome-labeled probes to determine the gender of blastomeres from arrested biopsied human embryos.
Simultaneous detection of X and Y chromosomes was performed on 68 blastomeres with this technique. The FISH efficiency for gender determination was 95.5% (65/68). In addition, rehybridization with chromosome 8-specific probes was performed to determine the ploidy of blastomeres with more than two sex chromosomes.
This technique offers an alternative to polymerase chain reaction for the preimplantation diagnosis of X-linked diseases and can also be used for ploidy assessment.
采用一种6小时的荧光原位杂交(FISH)程序,该程序涉及荧光染料标记的探针,以确定取自停止发育的活检人类胚胎的卵裂球的性别。
使用该技术对68个卵裂球同时进行了X和Y染色体检测。性别确定的FISH效率为95.5%(65/68)。此外,用8号染色体特异性探针进行再杂交,以确定具有两条以上性染色体的卵裂球的倍性。
该技术为X连锁疾病的植入前诊断提供了一种替代聚合酶链反应的方法,也可用于倍性评估。
