AbstractMaternal plasma DNA sequencing based noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) has been proven to be highly accurate in the detection of trisomy 21, 18, 13, X and Y, however, few reports have been made on its detection efficiency of rare complex aneuploidies. Here, we report a case of fetal trisomy 9 mosaicism identified by using NIPT, which may provide useful information for the further integration of NIPT into prenatal screening and diagnosis practice.

Abstract BACKGROUND Researchers have developed approaches for the noninvasive prenatal testing of single gene diseases. One approach that allows for the noninvasive assessment of both maternally and paternally inherited mutations involves the analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in maternal plasma DNA with reference to parental haplotype information. In the past, parental haplotypes were resolved by complex experimental methods or inferential approaches, such as through the analysis of DNA from other affected family members. Recently, microfluidics-based linked-read sequencing technology has become available and allows the direct haplotype phasing of the whole genome rapidly. We explored the feasibility of applying this direct haplotyping technology in noninvasive prenatal testing. METHODS We first resolved the haplotypes of parental genomes with the use of linked-read sequencing technology. Then, we identified SNPs within and flanking the genes of interest in maternal plasma DNA by targeted sequencing. Finally, we applied relative haplotype dosage analysis to deduce the mutation inheritance status of the fetus. RESULTS Haplotype phasing and relative haplotype dosage analysis of 12 out of 13 families were successfully achieved. The mutational status of these 12 fetuses was correctly classified. CONCLUSIONS High-throughput linked-read sequencing followed by maternal plasma-based relative haplotype dosage analysis represents a streamlined approach for noninvasive prenatal testing of inherited single gene diseases. The approach bypasses the need for mutation-specific assays and is not dependent on the availability of DNA from other affected family members. Thus, the approach is universally applicable to pregnancies at risk for the inheritance of a single gene disease.

The rapid global uptake of noninvasive prenatal testing for Down syndrome based on maternal plasma cell-free DNA has provided new data on the interrelationship between cell-free DNA and maternal health. Specific maternal conditions that can affect the performance of noninvasive prenatal testing include obesity, active autoimmune disease and low molecular weight heparin treatment. There is also a growing appreciation of the implications of discordant noninvasive prenatal testing results for maternal health, including unexpected diagnoses of maternal chromosomal conditions, or rarely, occult cancer. The interrelatedness of noninvasive prenatal testing and maternal health mean that the longstanding principles underpinning prenatal screening – voluntary testing, informed decision making, availability of specialist genetic counselling and well-defined clinical pathways – are more important than ever before.
