ABSTRACT
Teratomas are the most common tumors in the ovary during childhood. Previous studies suggested that they may be derived from germ cells at any developmental stage from premeiotic oogonia through meiotic oocytes to post-meiotic ova. The majority of mature teratomas reveal normal karyotypes and immature teratomas show higher frequency of chromosomal abnormalities. We analyzed fresh tissue samples from 25 primary ovarian teratomas and three extraovarian deposits using whole genome single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array and karyotype. SNP array detected five patterns of copy neutral loss of heterozygosity (CN-LOH) failure of meiosis I (type I) in 12 tumors, failure of meiosis II (type II) in six tumors, endoreduplication of a haploid ovum (type III) in two tumors, premeiotic error (type IV) in four tumors, and both meiotic I and meiotic II errors in one tumor (type V). Three tumors with type I error had a single chromosome showing meiotic II error, and two tumors with type II error had a single chromosome showing premature sister-chromatid separation in meiosis I. Lack of recombination in multiple chromosomes in meiosis I were common, chromosomes 17, 7, 8, 21, and 22 were most commonly involved. Abnormal karyotypes were observed in four teratomas including +3, del(3q), +7, +8, +12, and i(18q). The extraovarian deposits revealed the same CN-LOH pattern as the primary teratoma. In summary, SNP array reveals the origin of ovarian teratoma and we propose a new mechanism that consecutive meiotic I and II errors occur frequently in ovarian teratomas.
