Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To assess the value of combined copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) and chromosomal karyotyping for the diagnosis of amniocytic mosaicisms, in addition with a literature review.
METHODS:Forty cases of amniocytic mosaicisms detected at the Genetic and Prenatal Diagnosis Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2018 to December 2021, in addition with 245 mosaicisms retrieved from 11 recent literature were evaluated in terms of detection rate, consistency rate, and pregnancy outcomes.
RESULTS:The detection rate of amniocytic mosaicisms was 0.46% (40/8 621) in our center. And its consistency rate with chromosomal karyotyping was 75.0% (30/40). After genetic counseling, 30 (75.0%) couples had opted to terminate the pregnancy, 5 (12.5%) had decided to continue with the pregnancy, 3 (7.5%) fetuses were born alive, and 2 cases (5.0%) were lost in touch. By contrast, 245 cases (0.39%) of mosaicisms were identified among 63 577 amniotic samples, with a consistency rate of 62.8% (103/164) with other techniques. Among these, 114 cases (55.1%) were terminated, 75 (36.2%) were born alive, and 18 (8.7%) were lost during the follow up.
CONCLUSION:Combined CNV-seq and chromosomal karyotyping has a high value for the detection of amniotic mosaicisms.
