Popis: Single trophoblast cells circulating in the bloodstream of pregnant women are potential objects for noninvasive prenatal diagnosis. Owing to the very low concentration of cells of a fetal nature in the peripheral maternal blood, the choice of the method for whole genome amplification of the genetic material becomes topical. The key point in the use of single cells of a fetal nature for noninvasive prenatal diagnosis is to obtain DNA in an amount and of a quality acceptable for the analysis. In order to select the optimal method for whole genome amplification, a model experiment was conducted. We compared three different methods of whole genome amplification: linker-adaptor polymerase chain reaction (LA-PCR), degenerate oligonucleotide- primed PCR (DOP-PCR), and multiple displacement amplification (MDA). Subsequent analysis of the amplification products was performed by metaphase comparative genomic hybridization in order to evaluate the molecular karyotype of cells of a fetal nature with the known chromosome complement. As a result, an optimal method for whole genome amplification of the genetic material of single cells in a model experiment was determined by linker-adaptor PCR, which showed a more uniform representation of the genome regions compared with the other methods used.
