ABSTRACT
Chromosomal abnormalities are the most common etiology of early spontaneous miscarriage. However, traditional karyotyping of chorionic villus samples (CVSs) is limited by cell culture and its low resolution. The objective of our study was to investigate the efficiency of molecular karyotyping technology for genetic diagnosis of early missed abortion tissues. Chromosome analysis of 1191 abortion CVSs in early pregnancy was conducted from August 2016 to June 2021; 463 cases were conducted via copy-number variations sequencing (CNV-seq)/quantitative fluorescent-polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) and 728 cases were conducted using SNP array. Clinically significant CNVs of CVSs were identified to clarify the cause of miscarriage and to guide the couples' subsequent pregnancies. Among these, 31 cases with significant maternal cell contamination were removed from the study. Among the remaining 1160 samples, 751 cases (64.7%) with genetic abnormalities were identified, of which, 531 (45.8%) were single aneuploidies, 31 (2.7%) were multiple aneuploidies, 50 (4.3%) were polyploidies, 54 (4.7%) were partial aneuploidies, 77 (6.6%) had submicroscopic CNVs (including 25 with clinically significant CNVs and 52 had variants of uncertain significance), and 8 cases (0.7%) were uniparental disomies. Our study suggests that both SNP array and CNV-seq/QF-PCR are reliable, robust, and high-resolution technologies for genetic diagnosis of miscarriage.
