Epigenetic-Genetic Chromosome Dosage Approach for Fetal Trisomy 21 Detection Using an Autosomal Genetic Reference Marker

BACKGROUND: The putative promoter of the holocarboxylase synthetase (HLCS) gene on chromosome 21 is hypermethylated in placental tissues and could be detected as a fetal-specific DNA marker in maternal plasma. Detection of fetal trisomy 21 (T21) has been demonstrated by an epigenetic-genetic chromos...
