Several molecular methods, such as quantitative fluorescence PCR and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification, currently serve as important adjuncts to traditional karyotyping for the diagnosis of aneuploidy; however, the performance or throughput limitations of these methods hinder their use for routine prenatal diagnosis and population-based postnatal screening. We developed a novel approach, called "high-resolution melting analysis of segmental duplications," to detect common aneuploidies.
