Description

Digital PCR (polymerase chain reaction) kit for noninvasively detecting fetal chromosomal aneuploidy
Technical Field
The application relates to the field of detection, and in particular relates to a digital PCR kit for noninvasively detecting fetal chromosomal aneuploidies.
Background
Birth defects of newborns are a wide variety of diseases, wherein chromosomal abnormalities are a relatively harmful and common type of birth defects of newborns, such as Down syndrome (T21), edwards syndrome (T18) and Patau syndrome (T13), with morbidity of 1:600-1:800, 1:6,000, 1:10,000 respectively; the birth number of Down's infants per year in China is about 26,600, and the factors such as food safety deterioration of living environment and the like are in an ascending trend along with the improvement of the growth age. At present, there is no effective treatment method for Down syndrome, and the prevention is mainly carried out by means of prenatal detection, and the Down syndrome causes great mental and economic burden on families and society.
Serology is currently used to indirectly assess the risk of developing down's disease in a fetus, and pregnant women who are "positive" (i.e., at high risk) in serological tests typically do further amniotic fluid puncture tests to confirm whether a Tang Shai fetus is present. The former, although noninvasive, has very poor sensitivity and specificity, while the latter, although accurate (about 99%), must be sampled by invasive methods, which can result in yields of up to 1%. The noninvasive fetal prenatal screening, which is emerging in recent 2-3 years and directly quantitatively determines the free fetal DNA in the peripheral blood of the pregnant woman by using a molecular diagnosis technology, has the advantages of noninvasive property and high accuracy (99%), and is certainly widely popularized in clinic.
From the university of hong Kong, 1997, LOYM et al reported that fetal free DNA (Cff DNA) could be repeatedly and stably detected in the peripheral blood of pregnant women, opening the way for noninvasive prenatal testing (Noninvasive Prenatal Diagnostics, NIPD). Based on a second generation gene sequencing (Next-Generation Sequencing, NGS) method in China, noninvasive prenatal screening work is carried out, and the detection accuracy rate can reach 99.9%. The core idea of the second generation gene sequencing is sequencing-while-synthesis (sequencing by synthesis), which has higher flux, but high price, requires trained special personnel to prepare libraries and analyze bioinformatics data, has longer time, restricts the noninvasive gene detection based on NGS to be directly used in clinical laboratory of hospitals, and has low clinical popularization rate at present.
The digital PCR is a nucleic acid quantitative analysis technology which is rapidly developed in the later 2000 s, and the core principle is that the traditional 1-relatively-large-volume (50-100 mu L) PCR reaction is subdivided into 2-1000 ten thousand micro-volume units (nano-scale or smaller) in a reaction container, each micro-volume unit does not contain or theoretically only contains a nucleic acid molecule to be detected, after PCR amplification, each micro-volume unit is detected, the micro-volume unit with fluorescent signals is interpreted as 1, the micro-volume unit without fluorescent signals is interpreted as 0 (therefore called as digital PCR), and finally, according to the statistical Poisson distribution principle and the proportion of positive results, the analysis software can directly calculate the concentration or copy number of the target molecule to be checked. The technology realizes absolute quantification in a true sense, and the accuracy, the accuracy and the sensitivity of the result are better. The microdroplet digital PCR technology is particularly suitable for accurately quantifying low-abundance targets in a sample (such as fetal free DNA targets in peripheral blood of a pregnant woman), and is therefore very suitable for noninvasive fetal prenatal screening.
