QF-PCR Report for Prenatal Diagnosis

The report details the QF-PCR analysis of amniotic fluid from a fetus to rule out chromosomal aneuploidy, indicating no detection of common syndromes such as Patau, Edward, or Down's syndrome. Additionally, Sanger sequencing confirmed a heterozygous variant in the MMAB gene, suggesting the fetus may be a carrier for this likely pathogenic variant. The report emphasizes the importance of clinical correlation and genetic counseling, along with disclaimers regarding the limitations of the testing methods used.

QF-PCR METHODOLOGY
Quantitative fluorescence PCR (QF-PCR) is a reliable molecular method for rapid aneuploidy diagnosis. DNA was isolated from the given sample
using a commercial kit according to manufacturer͛s instructions. Multiplex PCR amplification of short tandem repeat (STR) markers using
fluorescent tagged primer was carried out using a commercial kit according to manufacturer͛s instructions. The resulting fragments were
analysed on the genetic analyser for visualization and quantification. The copy number of respective chromosome is quantified by calculating
the relative allele ratio. Analysed region includes: D13S742, D13S634, D13S628, D13S305, D13S1492, D18S978, D18S535, D18S386, D18S976,
GATA178F11, D21S1435, D21S11, D21S1411, D21S1444, D21S1442, D21S1437.

Limitations:

1. Detection of structural chromosomal abnormalities including but not limited to balanced and unbalanced translocations is not possible by
QF-PCR.

2. Sensitivity & specificity of the assay may be influenced by the quality of the specimens received at the laboratory. Samples with significant
mosaicism and maternal cell contamination may impact the diagnostic accuracy of QF-PCR

Disclaimer:
1. The given test result should be interpreted in context of all available clinical findings.
2. As per the PRE-NATAL DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUES (REGULATIONS & PREVENTION OF MISUSE) AMENDMENT ACT 2002, sex determination shall not be done for all prenatal samples.
3. The assay is limited to detecting changes only within the target sequence of the markers and is unable to identify balanced rearrangements occurring outside of this sequence.
4. Karyotype analysis is necessary to characterize the abnormality and assess the risk of recurrence in cases of aneuploidy.
5. Deletions and partial monosomy are not detected. Low-level mosaicism may not be detected.
6. Assay may not detect rearrangements and mosaicism involving the tested chromosomes.
7. Results obtained with any IVD Kit should only be employed and interpreted within the whole clinical picture. Lifecell cannot be considered responsible for any clinical decisions taken.
8. An aneuploidy test result can only be directly applied to the tissue tested and may not represent the fetal karyotype.
9. The results specifically pertain to the examined sample and may not accurately represent the fetal chromosome constitution in instances of confined placental mosaicism or when the
sample is contaminated with maternal cells.
10. Despite taking all necessary precautions during DNA-based tests, the technical error rate for all types of DNA analysis is approximately 2%. Therefore, it is crucial to interpret all
results within this context before taking any action based on these results.
11. The report is generated within a specific timeframe known as the turnaround time (TAT) once received the sample received at the lab. However, the actual TAT may differ based on
the complexity of the requested test(s) and the information provided along with the sample. Lifecell cannot be held responsible for any delays beyond the mentioned TAT.
12. In certain rare cases, genetic tests may not provide accurate results, for example, when the quality of the sample given to Lifecell is not optimal. Suppose a test performed by Lifecell
fails due to unforeseen or unknown reasons beyond their control. In that case, Lifecell cannot be held responsible for any incomplete, potentially misleading, or incorrect results that
were not foreseeable beforehand.
13. Lifecell Pvt. Ltd has validated the test and determined its performance characteristics in accordance with the CAP/ACMG and NABL guidelines. All investigations have their limitations
which are imposed by the limits of sensitivity & specificity of individual assay procedures as well as the quality of the specimen received by the laboratory.
14. Clinical interpretation of given test results should be evaluated within the context of the patient͛s medical history and other diagnostic laboratory test results.
15. The present report comprises a genetic analysis of the sample provided. It is important to note that this report cannot be accurately interpreted without information regarding
clinical features and other laboratory reports, and investigations. The information contained herein should not be considered a substitute for professional medical advice or diagnosis. It
is highly recommended to consult with a qualified healthcare professional or medical pecialist for a comprehensive evaluation and interpretation of your specific medical condition.

 This test is designed to detect mutations in the above-mentioned regions only. Sequences surrounding the
regions of interest are analyzed but not reported. In rare cases, allele dropout can cause heterozygosity to
be reported as homozygosity. This phenomenon occurs when one of the alleles fails to amplify during the
genetic testing process,
 This assay is unable to differentiate between cis and trans mutations. Though oligos are designed
specifically to parent gene using bioinformatics tool, Interference of pseudogene sequence cannot be ruled
out completely. Any change in primer binding site can result and interfere with the results and allele
dropout cannot be ruled out using this experiment.
 Diagnostic errors can occur due to rare sequence variations. In some cases, variants may not be identified
due to technical limitations caused by the presence of pseudogenes, various transcript ID, repetitive, or
homologous regions.
 This document is for clinical interpretation and not for medico-legal purpose

Note: As per the prenatal diagnostic techniques (Regulations & prevention of misuse) Amendment
Act 2002, sex determination shall not be done for all prenatal samples.
