131: Chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) vs karyotype in the evaluation of early pregnancy loss

Objective. To compare the frequency and nature of embryo/fetus chromosomal abnormalities (CA) in sporadic and recurrent pregnancy loss. Patients and methods. A retrospective cohort study that included 1000 patients with pregnancy loss at 6–12 weeks of gestation. The first group consisted of 681 patients who had their first sporadic miscarriage. The second group consisted of 319 patients who previously had a miscarriage. Chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) of abortive material was performed. Results. In the first group, various chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo/fetus were detected in 378 (55.5%) samples, in the second group – in 203 (63.5%). The incidence of CA in patients with a history of miscarriage was higher than in sporadic miscarriage, the differences were statistically reliable (p = 0.015). No significant differences were found in the structure of CA. Autosomal trisomies and numerical abnormalities of sex chromosomes were most frequently detected. Conclusion. Chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo are a significant cause of miscarriage, both sporadic and recurrent. Genetic analysis of abortive material is an important component of the examination for choosing further management tactics for patients. CMA is an effective research method when conducting genetic analysis of conception products. Key words: pregnancy loss, preconception planning, recurrent miscarriage, chromosomal abnormalities, chromosomal microarray analysis

Study Results

Цель исследования - оценить распространенность и типы хромосомных аномалий (ХА) в абортивном материале за период с 2015 по 2019 гг. Методом хромосомного микроматричного анализа был исследован 2201 образец ДНК, выделенной из абортивного материала при неразвивающейся беременности. ХА были обнаружены в 49,57% случаев, из них анеуплоидии, в том числе нескольких хромосом и мозаичные формы, составляют 79,65%, триплоидия - 10,72%, другие ХА, возможно имеющие клиническое значение, - 8,62%, тетраплоидия - 1,01%. Таким образом, хромосомный микроматричный анализ может быть рекомендован как рутинный метод для поиска несбалансированных ХА в абортивном материале при невынашивании беременности. Study objective is to assess the prevalence and pattern of chromosomal abnormalities (CAs) in products of conception (POC) for the period from 2015 to 2019. Materials and Methods: 2201 samples of POC were studied by the chromosomal microarray analysis. Study Results: CAs were detected in 49.57% of cases, of which aneuploidy, including several chromosomal and mosaic forms, were detected in 79.65%, triploidy - 10.72%, other CAs with possible clinical significance - 8.62%, tetraploidy - 1.01%. Conclusion: chromosomal microarray analysis can be recommended as a routine method for searching of unbalanced CAs in POC.
