To assess whether preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy with next generation sequencing (NGS) outweighs single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array in improving clinical outcomes.
A retrospective analysis of the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent PGT-A treatment in a single center from January 2013 to December 2017.A total of 1418 couples who underwent PGT-A treatment were enrolled, of which 805 couples used NGS for PGT-A, while the remaining 613 couples used SNP array for PGT-A. Clinical pregnancy rate, miscarriage rate and healthy baby rate were compared between the MALBAC-NGS-PGT-A and MDA-SNP-PGT-A groups.
After testing karyotypes of 5771 biopsied blastocysts, 32.2% (1861/5771) were identified as chromosomally normal, while 67.8% were chromosomally abnormal. In terms of clinical outcomes, women in the MALBAC-NGS-PGT-A group had a significantly higher clinical pregnancy rate (50.5% vs 41.7%, p = 0.002) and healthy baby rate (39.6% vs 31.4%, p = 0.003), and a lower miscarriage rate (15.5% vs 22.8%, p = 0.036).
This is the largest study reporting the extensive application of NGS-based PGT-A, whilst comparing the clinical outcomes of MALBAC-NGS-PGT-A and MDA-SNP-PGT-A. The results provide greater evidence supporting the wider use of NGS in PGT-A, not only for its lower cost but also for its improved clinical outcomes compared to SNP-based PGT-A.
评估新一代测序(NGS)的胚胎植入前遗传学检测(PGT-A)是否优于单核苷酸多态性(SNP)阵列,以改善临床结局。
对 2013 年 1 月至 2017 年 12 月在单中心接受 PGT-A 治疗的患者的临床结局进行回顾性分析。共纳入 1418 对接受 PGT-A 治疗的夫妇,其中 805 对夫妇使用 NGS 进行 PGT-A,其余 613 对夫妇使用 SNP 阵列进行 PGT-A。比较 MALBAC-NGS-PGT-A 和 MDA-SNP-PGT-A 组的临床妊娠率、流产率和健康婴儿率。
对 5771 个活检囊胚进行染色体核型检测后,发现 32.2%(1861/5771)为染色体正常,67.8%为染色体异常。在临床结局方面,MALBAC-NGS-PGT-A 组的临床妊娠率(50.5%比 41.7%,p=0.002)和健康婴儿率(39.6%比 31.4%,p=0.003)显著更高,流产率(15.5%比 22.8%,p=0.036)显著更低。
这是报道基于 NGS 的 PGT-A 广泛应用的最大规模研究,同时比较了 MALBAC-NGS-PGT-A 和 MDA-SNP-PGT-A 的临床结局。结果为 NGS 在 PGT-A 中的更广泛应用提供了更多证据支持,不仅因为其成本更低,还因为与 SNP 为基础的 PGT-A 相比,其具有更好的临床结局。
