This study compared the performance of three molecular methods - MLPA, MAQ, and BoBs - for detecting chromosomal abnormalities in prenatal diagnosis using amniotic fluid and chorionic villus samples. BoBs produced no uninterpretable results and fully concordant results with the reference FISH method. BoBs was the most sensitive in detecting chromosomal mosaics and the only method that could detect microdeletion syndromes. The researchers concluded that BoBs provided the best performance out of the three methods for prenatal aneuploidy detection and microdeletion diagnosis.
