Quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) is a well-established method in Western countries where commercial kits are being used for rapid prenatal diagnosis of aneuploidies. The limitations of these kits are that these are basically designed for the Caucasian population and are very expensive. Thus there is an urgent need to investigate the informative markers in the Asian population and to develop indigenous informative markers for detection of aneuploidies. This is a cost-effective alternate to the commercial kits and can be easily used in developing countries. We have tested three STR markers (D21S1435, D21S11, and D21S1411) in confirmed cases of Down syndrome and their parents. Origin of nondisjunction was also determined by means of QF-PCR. All the Down syndrome cases were confirmed for trisomy 21 by STR analysis. The results matched 100% with the karyotyping results. Nondisjunction was maternal in 87.5% cases and paternal in 12.5% cases. Nondisjunction during meiosis I was responsible for 87.5% cases of maternal nondisjunction and 100% cases of paternal nondisjunction. The combination of three STR markers is highly informative and can be used for diagnosis of trisomy 21 in India.

D004314 Down Syndrome A chromosome disorder associated either with an extra CHROMOSOME 21 or an effective TRISOMY for chromosome 21. Clinical manifestations include HYPOTONIA, short stature, BRACHYCEPHALY, upslanting palpebral fissures, epicanthus, Brushfield spots on the iris, protruding tongue, small ears, short, broad hands, fifth finger clinodactyly, single transverse palmar crease, and moderate to severe INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY. Cardiac and gastrointestinal malformations, a marked increase in the incidence of LEUKEMIA, and the early onset of ALZHEIMER DISEASE are also associated with this condition. Pathologic features include the development of NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES in neurons and the deposition of AMYLOID BETA-PROTEIN, similar to the pathology of ALZHEIMER DISEASE.
