Neonatal detection of Turner syndrome by real-time PCR gene quantification of the ARSE and MAGEH1 genes

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Turner syndrome (TS) is characterized by the presence of one full X chromosome and total or partial deletion of the second sex chromosome. Diagnosis of TS is often delayed, resulting in inappropriate treatment. Early diagnosis of TS using a neonatal screening test may improve preventive measures and treatment, thus improving patient quality of life. The goal of this study was to standardize a neonatal TS screening algorithm. Two study genes (ARSE and MAGEH1) and 1 normalizing gene (HBB) were used to … Show more

“…In contrast, a recent study estimated that each real-time PCR test for TS detection costs $15 US. All but one patient with TS was detected (albeit only 10 patients with mosaicism were tested) for a detection sensitivity of 95%, and only 0.6% of the newborns required recall for karyotypes (79). Most recently, whole-exome sequencing was shown to accurately diagnose TS, including cases with low-level mosaicism, isochromosome Xq and cryptic Y material (80).…”

“…Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) gene quantification can be used for diagnosis of TS [ 13 , 14 ]. Correa et al [ 14 ] proposed an algorithm for neonatal TS detection using 2 study genes and one normalizing gene, ARSE (arylsulfatase E-OMIM 300180), MAGEH1 (melanoma antigen, H1-OMIM protein: 300548), and HBB (beta hemoglobin, OMIM OMIM 141900), which are located in the telomeric pseudoautosomal region (ARSE-Xp22.3), the pericentromeric region (MAGEH1-Xp11.21), and on the autosomal chromosome (HBB-11p15.5), respectively. ARSE/HBB and MAGEH1/HBB ratios less than 0.81 and 1.24, respectively, confirm a diagnosis of TS.…”

“…Nevertheless, these were performed in patients who already had a diagnosis of SCA. In another study, Correa et al, developed a method for neonatal detection of TS using ARSE and MAGEH1 gene dose quantification, which was tested in 996 newborns whose peripheral blood was collected and stored on filter paper, reporting a 95% detection sensitivity (Correa et al, 2014).…”
