Suitability of Two Different Commercial Isolation Kits and Phenol-Chloroform Isolation Method for Fetal Sex Determination from Maternal Plasma in Sheep

Abstract

One of the methods used for determining fetal sex in sheep depends on amplification of fetal DNA in maternal plasma by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). However, quantity and quality of the DNA isolated from the maternal blood plasma can vary significantly depending on the DNA isolation method used. In this study aimed to determine fetal sex in maternal blood plasma by using three different DNA isolation methods. Plasma samples were collected from 13 ewes at 20th week of pregnancy and the genders of the fetuses were confirmed after birth. Plasma samples were collected from two rams as positive control and from two non-pregnant ewes as negative control. Free circulating DNA in maternal plasma samples was isolated by using phenol-chloroform isolation method and two different commercial DNA isolation kits (QIAamp and FitAmp). The obtained free circulating DNA was used for amplifying the target regions of X- and Ychromosome specific Amelogenin and SRY (Sex-determining Region Y) genes, respectively. Commercial isolation kits did not yield a PCR product of SRY or Amelogenin genes. On the other hand, the fetal sex correctly identified in 10 DNA samples (in three female and seven male fetal DNA including samples) isolated by using phenol-chloroform isolation method (10/13). However, in three samples including male fetal DNA fetal sex were incorrectly identified (3/13), because male sex specific PCR products were not obtained. The results of the study suggested that detection of fetal sex in sheep could not be achieved when two different commercial DNA isolation kits were used for DNA isolation from maternal plasma while phenol-chloroform isolation method was successful for this purpose, although incorrect results could also be obtained when this method was used.
