ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Fetuses whose mothers have produced antibodies to red blood cell (RBC) or platelet antigens are at risk of being affected by hemolytic disease or alloimmune thrombocytopenia, respectively, only if they inherit the incompatible antigen. Noninvasive diagnosis of the fetal antigen is employed for management of immunized pregnancies, but the specific detection of SNPs, encoding the majority of antigens, in maternal plasma is still a challenge. We applied targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) to predict the fetal antigen based on the detection of fetomaternal chimerism. METHODS AND MATERIALS The DNA of 13 pregnant women (with anti-K [3] anti-k [1], anti-Fya [1], anti-D + C + Jka [1], anti-D + E + K [1], anti-HPA-1a [1], anti-HPA-3b [1], anti-HPA-5b [1], and nonimmunized [3]) was sequenced using primers for regions encoding RhD, RhC, Rhc, RhE/e, K/k, Fya/b, Jka/b, MN, Ss, and HPA-1, 2, 3, 5, 15, 4 X-polymorphisms on the Ion Torrent Personal Genome Machine (PGM) System (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., Waltham, MA, USA).RESULTS:
NGS results were in agreement with the phenotype/genotype of women and their neonates (except for the unsuccessful detection of MN and RhC). NGS determined fetal allele chimerism for K, k, Fya, Fyb, Jka, Jkb, S, RhE (from 0.42% to 6.08%); RhD, Rhc (100%); HPA-1a, -2b, -3a, 3b, -5b, -15a, 15b (from 0.23% to 4.11%). NGS revealed fetal chimerism for incompatible antigens (from 0.7% to 4.8%) in 7 immunized cases, excluded in 3 (with anti-K, anti-Fya , anti-HPA-3b).CONCLUSION:
The designed NGS predicts the fetal RBC and platelet antigen status universally in cases with various clinically significant antibodies as well as providing confirmation of the presence of fetal DNA. However, some improvement of the unsuccessful primers is required.
