Funded Activity Summary

Development of a diagnostic microarray to detect aneuploidy in single cells. Chromosomal abnormalities account for about 10 per cent of all babies born with a defect. The risk of chromosomal abnormalities increases with maternal age and in patients with fertility problems. It has been estimated that 50 per cent of all embryos are aneuploid. Chromosomal aberrations also occur in the vast majority of tumours in humans. Accurate and rapid detection of chromosomal defects is an important health service delivered to the Australian public. This project aims to develop better tests for application in prenatal diagnostics including non-invasive testing of fetal cells from maternal circulation or cervical samples at 6-13 weeks gestation, IVF and cancer diagnostics.
