To evaluate the rapid prenatal diagnosis method for beta-thalassemia by reverse dot blot (RDB) analysis.
Using RDB analysis which can detect 18 types of beta-thalassemia mutation, 60 fetuses (with 1 twin) suspected of beta-thalassemia from 59 couples in Southern China were investigated.
15 fetus had normal genotype, 34 were carriers of heterozygous with one of parental affected gene; 10 had both parental affected genes-heterozygous or homozygous; and 1 was not able to identified. Three rare types of beta-thalassemia mutations (CD43, CD14-15, CD27-28) were detected.
The RDB assay is able to complete the screening of beta-thalassemia mutation by DNA hybridization in only one single working day. It is simple, accurate and convenient to operate without radio-isotopes. It can be used as a routine technique in clinical laboratory for the detection of carriers and prenatal diagnosis of beta-thalassemia.
评估反向点杂交(RDB)分析法用于β地中海贫血快速产前诊断的方法。
采用能检测18种β地中海贫血突变类型的RDB分析法,对来自中国南方59对夫妇的60例(含1对双胞胎)疑似β地中海贫血胎儿进行研究。
15例胎儿基因型正常,34例为杂合子携带者,其父母一方有致病基因;10例父母双方均有致病基因——杂合或纯合;1例无法鉴定。检测到3种罕见的β地中海贫血突变类型(CD43、CD14 - 15、CD27 - 28)。
RDB检测法仅需1个工作日就能通过DNA杂交完成β地中海贫血突变的筛查。该方法操作简单、准确、便捷,无需放射性同位素。可作为临床实验室检测β地中海贫血携带者及产前诊断的常规技术。
