  • BIOMARKERS FOR DOWN SYNDROME PRENATAL DIAGNOSIS
    Publication number: 20150275300
    Abstract: Disclosed is an isolated biomarker/biomarker region. Also disclosed are isolated biomarker/biomarker regions for detecting trisomy 21, methods of determining the likelihood of a foetus to suffer from a specific disease using the biomarker/biomarker region, a kit and a method of determining the methylation levels of a biomarker/biomarker region.

  • Method for detecting chromosomal aneuploidy
    Patent number: 8563242
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a new, non-invasive method for detecting chromosomal aneuploidy by analyzing a sample from a pregnant woman. The detection is based on the ratio between the amount of a fetal methylation marker located on a chromosome relevant to the aneuploidy and the amount of a fetal genetic marker located on a reference chromosome, offering improved accuracy.

    Date of Patent: October 22, 2013
    Assignee: The Chinese University of Hong Kong
    Inventors: Yuk Ming Dennis Lo, Rossa Wai Kwun Chiu, Yu Kwan Tong, Shengnan Jin, Siu Chung Stephen Chim, Wai Yi Tsui
  • Markers for prenatal diagnosis and monitoring
    Patent number: 7901884
    Abstract: This application provides the use of novel fetal markers for prenatal diagnosis and monitoring of certain pregnancy-related conditions. More specifically, the invention resides in the discovery that certain CpG islands located on fetal chromosome 21 demonstrate a methylation profile that is distinct from that of the corresponding CpG islands located on maternal chromosome 21. This application also provides kits for diagnosing or monitoring of the relevant conditions.
