Applying single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array to identify the etiology of fetal central nervous system (CNS) abnormality, and exploring its association with chromosomal abnormalities, copy number variations, and obstetrical outcome. 535 fetuses with CNS abnormalities were analyzed using karyotype analysis and SNP array. Among the 535 fetuses with CNS abnormalities, chromosomal abnormalities were detected in 36 (6.7%) of the fetuses, which were consistent with karyotype analysis. Further, additional 41 fetuses with abnormal copy number variations (CNVs) were detected using SNP array (the detection rate of additional abnormal CNVs was 7.7%). The rate of chromosomal abnormalities, but not that of pathogenic CNVs in CNS abnormalities with other ultrasound abnormalities was significantly higher than that in isolated CNS abnormalities. The rates of chromosomal abnormalities and pathogenic CNVs in fetuses with spine malformation (50%), encephalocele (50%), subependymal cyst (20%), and microcephaly (16.7%) were higher than those with other isolated CNS abnormalities. The pregnancies for 36 cases with chromosomal abnormalities, 18 cases with pathogenic CNVs, and three cases with VUS CNVs were terminated. SNP array should be used in the prenatal diagnosis of fetuses with CNS abnormalities, which can enable better prenatal assessment and genetic counseling, and affect obstetrical outcomes.

AbstractEtiopathogenesis of fetal ventriculomegaly is poorly understood. Associations between fetal isolated ventriculomegaly and copy number variations (CNVs) have been previously described. We investigated the correlations between fetal ventriculomegaly—with or without other ultrasound anomalies—and chromosome abnormalities. 222 fetuses were divided into four groups: (I) 103 (46.4%) cases with isolated ventriculomegaly, (II) 41 (18.5%) cases accompanied by soft markers, (III) 33 (14.9%) cases complicated with central nervous system (CNS) anomalies, and (IV) 45 (20.3%) cases with accompanying anomalies. Karyotyping and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array were used in parallel. Karyotype abnormalities were identified in 15/222 (6.8%) cases. Karyotype abnormalities in group I, II, III, and IV were 4/103 (3.9%), 2/41 (4.9%), 4/33 (12.1%), and 5/45 (11.1%), respectively. Concerning the SNP array analysis results, 31/222 (14.0%) were CNVs, CNVs in groups I, II, III, and IV were 11/103 (10.7%), 6/41 (14.6%), 9/33 (27.3%), and 5/45 fetuses (11.1%), respectively. Detections of clinical significant CNVs were higher in non-isolated ventriculomegaly than in isolated ventriculomegaly (16.81% vs 10.7%, P = 0.19). SNP arrays can effectively identify CNVs in fetuses with ventriculomegaly and increase the abnormal chromosomal detection rate by approximately 7.2%, especially ventriculomegaly accompanied by CNS anomalies.

AbstractObjectiveTo assess the vertebral pattern in a cohort of deceased fetuses and neonates, and to study the possible impact of DNA Copy Number Variations (CNVs) in coding regions and/or disturbing enhancers on the development of the vertebral pattern.MethodRadiographs of 445 fetuses and infants, deceased between 2009 and 2015, were assessed. Terminations of pregnancies, stillbirths and neonatal deaths were included. Patients were excluded if the vertebral pattern could not be determined. Copy number profiles of 265 patients were determined using single nucleotide polymorphism array.Results274/374 patients (73.3%) had an abnormal vertebral pattern. Cervical ribs were present in 188/374 (50.3%) and were significantly more common in stillbirths (69/128 (53.9%)) and terminations of pregnancies (101/188 (53.7%)), compared to live births (18/58, 31.0%, p = 0.006). None of the rare CNVs were recurrent or overlapped candidate genes for vertebral patterning.ConclusionThe presence of an abnormal vertebral pattern, particularly in the cervical region, could be a sign of disruption at critical, highly interactive and conserved stages of embryogenesis. The vertebral pattern might provide valuable information regarding fetal and neonatal outcome. CNV analyses did not identify a mutual genetic cause for the occurrence of vertebral patterning abnormalities, indicating genetic heterogeneity.
