Background: Turner syndrome (TS) is a common aneuploidy diagnosed by peripheral-blood-cell (PBC) karyotyping. Karyotyping is costly, time-staking and subject to manual errors. Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) is a cheap molecular diagnostic test which can detect several samples of TS within hours.Objective: To assess the performance of qPCR in detecting TS and variants.Methods: Ge...
