Exclusion of maternal cell contamination in prenatal chorionic villus samples

Diagnostic Use

Genetic testing of prenatal chorionic villus (CVS) samples for mutations is an essential component of diagnostic services. In order to ensure that an identified mutation is genuinely of foetal origin, i.e. from the CVS tissue, a method is required to distinguish between foetal and maternal DNA. An effective and efficient procedure involves the use of highly polymorphic microsatellite markers such as are found in the ABI AmpFlSTR Identifiler Kit.
