Микроделеционные и микродупликационные синдромы выявляются примерно у 8% плодов с врожденными пороками развития (ВПР), однако диагностика патогенных CNVs в пренатальном периоде в данный момент не регламентирована и зачастую основана на технических возможностях лаборатории. Представлены результаты исследования плодов, которые имели ВПР и/или маркеры хромосомной патологии, установленные по УЗИ, методом хромосомного микроматричного анализа (ХМА). В выборке (N=1048) у 10,3% плодов были обнаружены числовые аномалии хромосом и у 7,4% плодов были выявлены патогенные хромосомные аномалии, которые невозможно выявить при стандартном кариотипировани из-за их малого размера. Результаты нашего анализа согласуются с данными литературы, демонстрирующей большую эффективность SNP-микроматриц по сравнению с классическими цитогенетическими методами. Microdeletion and microduplication syndromes are detected in approximately 8% of fetuses with congenital malformations, however, the diagnosis of pathogenic CNVs in the prenatal period, at the moment, is unregulated and often based on the technical capabilities of the laboratory. The thesis presents the result of a study of fetuses that had congenital malformations and / or markers of chromosomal abnormalities, determined by ultrasound, by the method of chromosomal microarray analysis. Using chromosomal microarray analysis in our sample (N = 1048), numerical chromosome abnormalities were detected in 10.3% of the fetuses and pathogenic chromosome imbalance was revealed in 7.4% of the fetuses, which cannot be detected by standard karyotyping. The results of our analysis are consistent with the data of the scientific literature, which demonstrates the greater efficiency of using SNP microarrays in comparison with classical cytogenetic methods.

Abstract Background This study aimed to evaluate the applicability of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) for prenatal diagnosis of craniofacial malformations (CFMs). We also investigated the potential correlations between chromosomal abnormalities and CFMs. To this end, 118 fetuses with CFMs were enrolled in the study and underwent both G-banded chromosome analysis and CMA. Results Of the 118 cases in this study, 39.8% were isolated CFMs (47/118) whereas 60.2% were non-isolated CFMs (71/118). The detection rate of chromosomal abnormalities or submicroscopic chromosomal abnormalities in non-isolated CFM fetuses was significantly higher than that in isolated CFM fetuses (26/71 vs. 7/47, p = 0.01). Compared to the 16 fetuses (16/104; 15.4%) with pathogenic chromosomal abnormalities detected by karyotype analysis, CMA identified a total of 33 fetuses (33/118; 28.0%) with clinically significant findings. These 33 fetuses included cases with aneuploidy abnormalities (14/118; 11.9%), microdeletion/microduplication syndromes (9/118; 7.6%), and other pathogenic CNVs only (10/118; 8.5%). We further explored the CNV/phenotype correlation and found a series of clear or suspected dosage-sensitive CFM genes. Conclusion CMA is a rapid and reliable molecular technique to identify fetal chromosomal aberrations associated with CFMs. Identification of the genetic basis of CFMs contributes to the understanding of their pathogenesis and etiology.

Introduction. The prevalence of congenital malformations (CMFs) in fetal central nervous system (CNS) ranges from 1.5 to 3 % and covers around 29 % among all malformations, whereas percentage in the structure of perinatal and infant mortality reaches 25–26 %.Aim: to estimate frequency of pathogenic copy number variations (CNVs) in fetuses with congenital malformations of CNS and normal karyotyping cytogenetic analysis.Materials and Methods. There were enrolled 42 pregnant women underwent invasive prenatal diagnostics in 2013–2019 due to ultrasound detection of congenital CNS defect in fetus. Fetal samples were studied by using chromosome microarray analysis (CMA).Results. Various pathogenic CNVs were detected in 7 (16.6 %) fetuses with prenatally diagnosed congenital CNS malformations. Non-syndrome pathogenic CNVs were detected in 85.7 %.Conclusion. Thus, performing chromosome microarray analysis as the first-line assay allows to diagnose not only aneuploidy, but also microdeletion/microduplication, the size of which below resolution threshold for standard cytogenetic karyotyping

Abstract Background Chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) has emerged as a primary diagnostic tool for the evaluation of developmental delay and structural malformations in children. The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy and diagnostic value of CMA and karyotyping on chromosomal abnormalities in Fujian province of South China. Methods In the study, 410 samples were obtained from pregnant women between March 2015 and December 2016, including 3 villus (0.73%, 3/410), 296 amniotic fluid (72.20%, 296/410), and 111 umbilical cord blood (27.07%, 111/410). Each sample was screening for chromosomal abnormalities by both using CMA and karyotyping. Results The success rates of CMA and karyotyping were 100% (410/410) and 99.27% (407/410), respectively. 61 (14.88%, 61/410) samples were presented with chromosomal abnormalities using CMA, whereas 47 (11.46%, 47/410) samples were shown with chromosomal abnormalities using karyotyping. 31 (7.56%, 31/410) samples with normal karyotypes were found to have chromosomal abnormalities using CMA. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of CMA on the diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities was 0.93, with 90.68% sensitivity and 94.40% specificity. The AUC of karyotyping on the diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities was 0.90, with 87.56% sensitivity and 91.22% specificity. Conclusions Our data demonstrated that CMA has a better diagnostic value for screening chromosomal abnormalities, especially for pregnant women with normal karyotypes.

Background: An increase in pathogenic copy number variants (pCNVs) has been recognized to associate with fetal growth restriction (FGR). Here, we aim to explore the application value of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) in prenatal diagnosis of FGR.Methods: Prenatal ultrasound was applied to identify FGR. A total of 149 pregnant women with FGR were enrolled in our study. All subjects underwent karyotype analysis and CMA to reveal the chromosomal abnormalities.Results: In this study, all subjects were successfully detected by karyotype and CMA analyses. Of these subjects, the chromosomal abnormalities detection rate was 5.37% (8/149) for karyotyping and 13.42% (20/149) for CMA, respectively. Among them, an 8.05% (12/149) incremental yield of CMA over karyotype analysis was observed (p = 0.004). In addition, a significant difference of pCNV detection rate was observed between the groups with different high-risk factors (p = 0.005). The FGR with structural anomalies group showed the highest pCNV detection rate (33.33%), followed by the FGR with non-structural anomalies group (8.77%) and the isolated FGR group (8.06%).Conclusion: In conclusion, CMA technology showed an effective application value in etiology diagnosis of FGR. We believe that CMA should be recommended as first-line detection technology for prenatal diagnosis in FGR.

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

The aims of this study were to evaluate the contribution of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) in the prenatal diagnosis of fetuses with central nervous system (CNS) anomalies but normal chromosomal karyotype. A total of 46 fetuses with CNS anomalies with or without other ultrasound anomalies but normal karyotypes were evaluated by array-based comparative genomic hybridisation (aCGH) or single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array. The result showed that CNVs were detected in 17 (37.0%) fetuses. Of these, CNVs identified in 5 (5/46, 10.9%) fetuses were considered to be likely pathogenic, and CNVs detected in 3 (3/46, 6.5%) fetuses were defined as being of uncertain clinical significance. Fetuses with CNS malformations plus other ultrasound anomalies had a higher rate of pathogenic CNVs than those with isolated CNS anomalies (13.6% versus 8.3%), but there was no significant difference (Fisher’s exact test,P>0.05). Pathogenic CNVs were detected most frequently in fetuses with Dandy-Walker syndrome (2/6, 33.3%) when compared with other types of neural malformations, and holoprosencephaly (2/7, 28.6%) ranked the second. CMA is valuable in prenatal genetic diagnosis of fetuses with CNS anomalies. It should be considered as part of prenatal diagnosis in fetuses with CNS malformations and normal karyotypes.
