Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) for monogenic diseases has known a considerable evolution since its first application in the early 1990s. Especially the technical aspects of the genetic diagnosis itself, the single-cell genetic analysis, has constantly evolved to reach levels of accuracy and efficiency nearing those of genetic diagnosis on regular DNA samples. In this review, we will focus on the molecular biological techniques that are currently in use in the most advanced centers for PGD for monogenic disorders, including multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and post-PCR diagnostic methods, whole genome amplification (WGA) and multiple displacement amplification (MDA). As it becomes more and more clear that when it comes to ethically difficult indications, PGD goes further than prenatal diagnosis (PND), we will also briefly discuss ethical issues.

We have developed a new allele-specific amplification method for the preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA; Werdnig-Hoffmann disease) from a single cell. This method is based on the detection of the deletion of exon 7 of the telomeric copy of the survival motor neurone (SMNt) gene. An oligonucleotide was designed to be specific to the SMNt nucleotidic sequence with exonic mismatch G (for SMNt)→A (for SMNc) at its 3′ end. This test produces reliable PCR products in 95% of single lymphoblasts (85/88) tested as well as in 16/16 blastomeres from normal controls. Specificity analysis showed that we were able to detect homozygous deletion of the SMNt gene in 99% of single lymphoblasts (103/104) from a SMA patient. No contamination was detected in 68 blanks tested. Multiple cell and DNA dilution analysis revealed that the test is accurate and specific up to 100 pg DNA and should thus also be suitable for PGD at the blastocyst stage. This rapid procedure requires a single round of fluorescent PCR and no restriction digestion, while previously described single cell methods include nested PCR followed by restriction enzyme digestion. Two PGD cycles for SMA using this procedure were performed in our centre. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

The main difficulty in developing a molecular diagnosis of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) resides in the specific genomic structure of the locus. Indeed, two highly homologous survival motor neurone genes, SMN1 and SMN2, are present at the locus. The detection of the homozygous deletion of exons 7 and 8 of the SMN1 gene, which is present in 90 to 98% of the patients, is based on methods highlighting 1 of the 8 nucleotidic mismatches existing between these 2 genes. In order to offer preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) for SMA, we developed a new allele-specific amplification method. The main disadvantage of our previously described strategy resided in the possibility of diagnosing, in case of amplification failure, an unaffected embryo as affected. We present here a new PGD-SMA method. We established the conditions for three different duplex PCRs, allowing the specific detection of the SMN1 gene and one polymorphic marker, either D5S629, D5S1977, or D5S641. Of the 60 to 90 single cells tested, the PCR efficiency varied from 98 to 100% with a complete genotype obtained in a range between 81 and 87% with a global allele drop-out rate of 9%. Such a test was used to perform 1 PGD cycle for which 7 embryos could be analysed. All the embryos were fully diagnosed, six as unaffected and one as affected. Four embryos were transferred, but no pregnancy ensued. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

An Erratum has been published for this article in Prenatal Diagnosis 22 (5) 2002, 451. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) requires the combined efforts of geneticists and workers in the field of reproductive medicine. This was studied on the basis of a questionnaire, sent to 35 members of the PGD Consortium of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE). A reply was obtained from 20 centres. They represent the majority of activities in the field of PGD in the world. It is obvious that many of the activities (in vitro fertilisation, embryo culture and biopsy) take place in IVF units while others (counselling and diagnosis) are the responsibility of genetic diagnostic centres. The distances between both units vary considerably. In all but one centre sex determination is offered. Aneuploidy screening is offered in 13 out of 20 centres. PGD of translocations and other structural chromosome abnormalities is offered in all but one centre. The number of monogenic diseases offered varies considerably. In comparison to prenatal diagnosis PGD is more expensive. The majority of these costs are due to the IVF or ICSI procedure. The charges for PGD vary between about € 600 and € 4000. In 16 out of 20 centres the parents to be must sign an informed consent form. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

Most of cystic fibrosis (CF) pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) cases described to date are limited to the detection of ΔF508. Beside this predominant mutation, over 1000 mutations have been identified, rendering the development of a mutation-based PGD protocol impracticable. This is the reason why we, as well as the others, have developed PGD strategies on the basis of the identification of the pathogenic haplotype instead of the mutation(s). In a previous article, we reported the conditions for the co-amplification of two intragenic polymorphic markers and the F508 locus. Here we describe an improved protocol allowing the additional amplification of two new intragenic markers, intron 1 CA repeat (I1CA) and IVS17bTA. This new protocol should, theoretically, allow us to provide a diagnosis to all couples requiring PGD for CF. Using single lymphoblasts, we have tested four different PCR configurations, including one duplex, two triplexes and one quadruplex PCR. All of them gave results compatible with a clinical application. The number of single lymphoblasts tested in each series varied from 89 to 155. PCR efficiency ranged from 95.4 to 100%. A complete haplotype was achieved for 83.2 to 90.7% of the tested cells, with an allele drop out (ADO) rate comprised between 6.0 and 11.6%. We present here three cases that we performed either with the former test (one case using the triplex PCR combining F508, IVS8CA and IVS17bCA) or with the new one (one case using the triplex combining F508, I1CA and IVS17bTA and one case using a quadruplex test). We obtained two single pregnancies. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

国外保护矿业环境的矿业立法择优   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
勘探尤其是开采对环境的污染和破坏是比较典型的,为此,世界绝大多数国家制订了独立于矿产资源法的《矿业法》,从立法资源上保证保护矿业环境的法律构建.国外《矿业法》以源头控制、全过程控制、无过错和合力等立法原则,贯通于行政特许权授予为主并综合运用矿业主体激励、市场力量、公众参与等其他管理方式之中,构建成立体性保护矿业环境的法律制度.国外矿业法择优显得我国取代《矿业法》的《矿产资源法》关于矿业环境保护的规定过分“吝啬“.  相似文献
