Journal ArticleDOI
Real-Time PCR Coupled with Automated DNA Extraction and Detection of Galactomannan Antigen in Serum by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for Diagnosis of Invasive Aspergillosis
Catherine Costa,Jean-Marc Costa,Christophe Desterke,Françoise Botterel,Catherine Cordonnier,Stéphane Bretagne +5 more
TL;DR: The LightCycler PCR assay could be used in association with the GM assay to improve the reliability of IA diagnosis and is retrospectively compared with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the detection of galactomannan in serum from 14 patients with IA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of microsatellite markers of Candida albicans used for rapid typing.
TL;DR: Microsatellite marker analysis with multiplex PCR and automated procedures has a high throughput and should be suitable for large epidemiologic studies of C. albicans, confirming that candidemia usually originates from the colonizing isolate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of two real-time quantitative TaqMan PCR assays to detect circulating Aspergillus fumigatus DNA in serum.
Catherine Costa,Dominique Vidaud,Martine Olivi,Emmanuelle Bart-Delabesse,Michel Vidaud,Stéphane Bretagne +5 more
TL;DR: Serum is recommended, stored and frozen as soon as possible, to be used for detecting circulating A. fumigatus DNA for diagnosis and the mitochondrial multicopy gene was characterized in order to compare results from different patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutational spectrum and DNA-based prenatal diagnosis in carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency.
TL;DR: DNA-based prenatal diagnosis was performed for the first time in pregnancies at risk for CAC deficiency, and two fetuses were affected and one pregnancy was terminated by family decision.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hereditary fructose intolerance: frequency and spectrum mutations of the aldolase B gene in a large patients cohort from France--identification of eight new mutations.
Anne Davit-Spraul,Catherine Costa,Mokhtar Zater,Dalila Habes,Jacques Berthelot,Pierre Broué,François Feillet,Olivier Bernard,Philippe Labrune,Christiane Baussan +9 more
TL;DR: The molecular basis of hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) is investigated by means of a PCR-based mutation screening strategy, consisting of restriction enzyme digestion and direct sequencing, which allows to diagnose 75% of HFI patients using restriction enzymatic analysis and to enlarge the diagnosis to 97% when associated with direct sequencing.
