ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To assess the value of combined chromosomal karyotyping and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and/or copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) for the prenatal diagnosis for women with advanced maternal ages, and to explore the challenges of prenatal genetic counseling brought by the types of fetal CNVs and uncertainty of related phenotypes.METHODS:
A retrospective analysis was carried out on 1 841 women with advanced maternal age who underwent interventional prenatal diagnosis at the Prenatal Diagnosis Center of Xiamen University Affiliated Women and Children's Hospital from January 2017 to December 2020. Routine chromosomal karyotyping analysis and CMA/CNV-seq detection were carried out.RESULTS:
CMA/CNV-seq had detected pathogenic variants in 2 cases which had failed karyotyping analysis. Two hundred and twenty one fetal chromosomal abnormalities were detected by karyotyping analysis, among which 187 were detected by CMA/CNV-seq. CMA/CNV-seq analysis of 23 cases with balanced chromosome structural aberrations and 10 cases with low proportion mosaicisms (including a marker chromosome) had yielded a negative result. In addition, 26 cases (26/1 841, 1.4%) with pathogenic CNVs were discovered among those with a normal karyotype, of which 13 (50.0%) were recurrent CNVs associated with neurocognitive impairment, with 22q11.21 microdeletions and microduplications being the most common types (26.92%).CONCLUSION:
The combination of karyotyping analysis and CMA/CNV-seq not only increased the rate of prenatal diagnosis, but also complemented with each other, which has facilitated genetic counseling and formulation of prenatal diagnosis strategy for the affected families.
