To explore the genetic basis for a Fra(16)(q22)/FRA16B fragile site in a female with secondary infertility.
The 28-year-old patient was admitted to Chengdu Women's and Children's Central Hospital on October 5, 2021 due to secondary infertility. Peripheral blood sample was collected for G-banded karyotyping analysis, single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP-array), quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assays.
The patient was found to harbor 5 mosaic karyotypes involving chromosome 16 in a total of 126 cells, which yielded a karyotype of mos 46,XX,Fra(16)(q22)[42]/46,XX,del(16)(q22)[4]/47,XX,del(16),+chtb(16)(q22-qter)[4]/46,XX,tr(16)(q22)[2]/46,XX[71]. No obvious abnormality was found by SNP-array, QF-PCR and FISH analysis.
A female patient with FRA16B was identified by genetic testing. Above finding has enabled genetic counseling of this patient.
探讨一名继发性不孕女性中Fra(16)(q22)/FRA16B脆性位点的遗传基础。
该28岁患者因继发性不孕于2021年10月5日入住成都妇女儿童中心医院。采集外周血样本进行G显带核型分析、单核苷酸多态性阵列(SNP-array)、定量荧光聚合酶链反应(QF-PCR)和荧光原位杂交(FISH)检测。
在总共126个细胞中发现该患者存在5种涉及16号染色体的嵌合核型,核型为mos 46,XX,Fra(16)(q22)[42]/46,XX,del(16)(q22)[4]/47,XX,del(16),+chtb(16)(q22-qter)[4]/46,XX,tr(16)(q22)[2]/46,XX[71]。SNP-array、QF-PCR和FISH分析未发现明显异常。
通过基因检测鉴定出一名携带FRA16B的女性患者。上述发现为该患者提供了遗传咨询。
