ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To carry out genetic diagnosis for a fetus.@*METHODS@#Chromosome G-banding and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) were carried out for a fetus with abnormal morphology of lateral cerebral fissure.@*RESULTS@#The karyotype of the fetus was normal, but CMA showed that it has carried a 1.4 Mb deletion at 17p13.3 region, which suggested a diagnosis of Miller-Dieker syndrome (MDS).@*CONCLUSION@#Familiarity with clinical features and proper selection of genetic testing method are crucial for the diagnosis of MDS. Attention should be paid to microdeletions and microduplications which can be missed by conventional chromosomal karyotyping.

Objective To compare the transfection efficiency between different transfection methods in human HepG2 and SGC7901/ADM cells so as to provide experimental basis for further study .Methods To electrons fect the enhanced GFP plasmid into HepG2 and SGC7901/ADM cells by lipofection and electroporation methods ,respectively .The survival rates and transfection efficiency were analyzed .Results The efficiency of eGFP vector transfected into HepG2 cells by lipofection was (23 .8 ± 2 .1)% , compared with lipofection method ,the efficiency of eGFP plasmid transfected by electroporation was up to (49 .6 ± 2 .5)% ,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0 .05) .The efficiency of SGC7901/ADM cells by lipofection was (25 .4 ± 1 .3)% ,com‐pared with lipofection method ,the efficiency of electroporation was up to(52 .6 ± 2 .1)% ,and the difference was statistically signifi‐cant(P<0 .05) .This study provides reliable test parameters for electransfection of HepG2 and SGC7901/ADM cells .Conclusion The transfection efficiency of large fragment vector is efficiently improved by electroporation .
