Fetal cells collected from the amniotic fluid of two pregnant women indicated sex chromosome abnormalities. Therefore, we performed G-banded chromosome karyotype analysis, single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP array), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and sequence-tagged sites (STS) analysis of the Y chromosome to determine the rare molecular genetics of the two fetuses.
The karyotypes of the fetuses from patients 1 and 2 were mos 45,X[92]/46,X,+idic(Y)(q11.21)[8] and mos 45,X[20]/46,X,+idic(Y)(q11.223)[80], respectively. Fetus 1 had a 7.76 Mb deletion in Yq11.222q11.23 and a 15.68 Mb duplication in Yp11.2q11.21. Fetus 2 had 21 Mb of repetitive segments in Yp11.3q11.223. Azoospermia factor (AZF) detection by STS analysis revealed a missing AZFb+c region in fetus 1 and three functional AZF regions in fetus 2. The isodicentric Y chromosome (idic (Y)) in both fetuses arose de novo. The pregnancy of patient 1 was terminated, whereas the fetus of patient 2 was delivered and is now 10 months old with normal appearance and growth.
A combination of technologies such as chromosome karyotyping, FISH, SNP arrays, and STS analysis of the Y chromosome is important in prenatal diagnosis to reduce birth defect rates and improve the health of the Chinese population.
从两名孕妇羊水中采集的胎儿细胞显示存在性染色体异常。因此,我们对这两名胎儿进行了G显带染色体核型分析、单核苷酸多态性阵列(SNP阵列)、荧光原位杂交(FISH)以及Y染色体序列标签位点(STS)分析,以确定这两名胎儿罕见的分子遗传学特征。
患者1和患者2的胎儿核型分别为mos 45,X[92]/46,X,+idic(Y)(q11.21)[8]和mos 45,X[20]/46,X,+idic(Y)(q11.223)[80]。胎儿1在Yq11.222q11.23区域有7.76 Mb的缺失,在Yp11.2q11.21区域有15.68 Mb的重复。胎儿2在Yp11.3q11.223区域有21 Mb的重复片段。通过STS分析检测无精子症因子(AZF)发现,胎儿1缺失AZFb + c区域,胎儿2有三个功能性AZF区域。两名胎儿的等臂双着丝粒Y染色体(idic(Y))均为新发。患者1的妊娠终止,而患者2的胎儿已分娩,现10个月大,外观和生长正常。
染色体核型分析、FISH、SNP阵列以及Y染色体STS分析等技术相结合,对于产前诊断降低出生缺陷率和改善中国人群健康状况具有重要意义。
