Development and validation of a novel method for generating locus-specific DNA probes for the diagnosis of chromosomal aberrations

https://doi.org/10.25557/2073-7998.2025.11.63-66

Abstract

Introduction. Development of a domestic panel of DNA probes for detection of the most frequent chromosomal aberrations is a critical task to ensure independent and high quality molecular cytogenetic diagnostics in the Russian Federation.

Objective. To develop a domestic panel of DNA probes for detection of chromosomal aberrations.

Methods. The method of obtaining a panel of DNA probes for the detection of chromosomal aberrations included the development of probes using long-range PCR with the subsequent formation of DNA libraries for the diagnosed regions of the human genome and control loci.

Results. The technology for obtaining DNA probes for FISH diagnostics and a panel of DNA probes from domestically produced components were developed.
