Cytogenetic studies of spontaneous abortions or intrauterine fetal death depend on conventional tissue culturing and karyotyping. This technique has limitations such as culture failure and selective growth of maternal cells. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) using specific probes permits diagnosis of aneuploidies but is limited to one or a few chromosomal regions. Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) provides an overview of chromosomal gains and losses in a single hybridization directly from DNA samples. In a prospective study, we analyzed by CGH trophoblast cells from 21 fetuses in cases of spontaneous abortions, intrauterine fetal death or polymalformed syndrome. Six numerical chromosomal abnormalities including one trisomy 7, one trisomy 10, three trisomies 18, one trisomy 21 and one monosomy X have been correctly identified by CGH. One structural abnormality of the long arm of chromosome 1 has been characterized by CGH. One triploidy and two balanced pericentromeric inversions of chromosome 9 have not been identified by CGH. Sexual chromosomal constitutions were concordant by both classical cytogenetic technique and CGH. Contribution of trophoblast analysis by CGH in embryo-fetal development anomalies is discussed. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the detection of aneuploidy in archival tissues from miscarriages by a method that uses microdissection and DNA extraction of villus cells from paraffin blocks, followed by universal DNA amplification and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). DESIGN: Retrospective analysis. SETTING: Academic medical center. PATIENT(S): Nine archival tissues from cases of spontaneous abortion with trisomy 16 (two cases), trisomy 21 (three cases), trisomy 22 (two cases), triploidy (one case), and monosomy X (one case). INTERVENTION(S): Villus DNA was extracted from microdissected, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues. Aneuploidy was detected by CGH after universal amplification of the DNA with the use of degenerate oligonucleotide-primed polymerase chain reaction. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Detection of aneuploidy in archival pregnancy-loss tissues using CGH. RESULT(S): In all nine cases, DNA was successfully extracted from the microdissected tissues and was of sufficient quantity and quality for evaluation by CGH. In six of nine cases, the chromosomal abnormality detected by conventional cytogenetic analysis was identified by CGH: trisomy 16 (2/2), trisomy 21 (3/3), and trisomy 22 (1/2). One case of each of the following was not detectable: triploidy (1/1), monosomy X (1/1), and trisomy 22 (1/2). CONCLUSION(S): We propose CGH as a method for determination of aneuploidy in pregnancy-loss archival tissues when conventional cytogenetic analysis is unsuccessful or when it was not performed when fresh tissue was available. 相似文献

Fetuses with neural tube defects (NTDs) carry a risk of chromosomal abnormalities. The risk varies with maternal age, gestational age at diagnosis, association with other structural abnormalities, and family history of chromosome aberrations. This article provides an overview of chromosomal abnormalities associated with NTDs in embryos, fetuses, and newborn patients, and a comprehensive review of numerical chromosomal abnormalities associated with NTDs, such as trisomy 18, trisomy 13, triploidy, trisomy 9, trisomy 2, trisomy 21, trisomy 7, trisomy 8, trisomy 14, trisomy 15, trisomy 16, trisomy 5 mosaicism, trisomy 11 mosaicism, trisomy 20 mosaicism, monosomy X, and tetraploidy. NTDs may be associated with aneuploidy. Perinatal identification of NTDs should alert one to the possibility of chromosomal abnormalities and prompt a thorough cytogenetic investigation and genetic counseling. 相似文献

Analysis of uncultured amniocytes by comparative genomic hybridization: a prospective prenatal study
Lapierre JM Cacheux V Luton D Collot N Oury JF Aurias A Tachdjian G 《Prenatal diagnosis》2000,20(2):123-131
Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) is a new molecular cytogenetic technique which can detect and map whole and partial aneuploidies throughout a genomic specimen DNA without culturing specimen cells. Thus, CGH may be used as a comprehensive and rapid screening test in prenatal unbalanced chromosomal abnormalities detection. We report the results of the first prospective study to evaluate the use of the CGH technique on uncultured amniocytes. Seventy-one amniotic fluid samples, obtained by transabdominal amniocentesis between the 14th and 35th weeks of gestation, were simultaneously investigated using CGH and conventional cytogenetics. Amniocentesis were done for advanced maternal age (21.1%), fetal ultrasound anomalies (73.3%) and high level of biochemical markers in maternal serum (5.6%). Sixty-six (93%) informative results were generated on a total of 71 analysed specimens. Fifty-nine samples were reported as disomic for all autosomes with a normal sex chromosome constitution using CGH and conventional cytogenetics. Among them, three pericentromeric chromosomal inversions were undetected by CGH analysis. Seven numerical aberrations were characterized, including one case of trisomy 13, one case of trisomy 18 and five cases of trisomy 21. Advantages and limitations of CGH for a rapid prenatal screening of unbalanced chromosomal aberrations are discussed. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: Cytogenetic analysis of spontaneous abortion samples can be limited by culture failure. Failure to grow in vitro has traditionally been suspected to be due to in vivo death of tissue associated with spontaneous abortion (SAB) or simply technical factors of growth in culture. METHOD: We used array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) to investigate chromosomal imbalances in products of conception that failed to grow in vitro. RESULTS: Our data on 26 cases of SABs that failed to grow in culture are compared and contrasted with published data on cytogenetic findings following in vitro culture. The results revealed abnormalities uncommonly seen by classic cytogenetic methods. These abnormalities include high rates of double aneuploidy and autosomal monosomy. The data taken together suggest that classic cytogenetics of spontaneous abortion may yield normal karyotypes or selected abnormal karyotypes that permit cell proliferation in vitro while Array CGH detects other abnormalities. CONCLUSION: Array CGH is becoming an important clinical assay for unbalanced chromosome abnormalities whether cells grow in culture or not and in cases of analysis on one or few cells. 相似文献

Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) was applied to samples taken from various sites of placentas originating from complicated pregnancies: 24 with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), one with multiple fetal malformation, one with toxemia, one with hydrocephalus and two with undetectable maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (MSAFP). One of the most common aberrations in the IUGR cases was the addition of a whole or part of the X chromosome. Other aberrations such as additional Y chromosome or of 13(q22) or loss of chromosome 17 also appeared in different cases. In one IUGR case trisomy 8 (in one site) and 47,XXY (in all sites) were detected. In the two cases with undetectable MSAFP monosomy 16 was found. Some of the results were also confirmed by the FISH technique. In all the control cases (six normal and five with aneuploidy) CGH concurred with the known karyotype. Our results demonstrate the usefulness of the CGH technique in the genetic evaluation of fresh and paraffin embedded placentas in problematic pregnancies even when morphology is normal. However, it is very important to take multiple samples from different sites of the placenta. 相似文献

BACKGROUND. It is well known that a large proportion of first-trimester spontaneous abortions is caused by chromosomal disorders. The present study represents a unique material and the success rate of the karyotyping was high. METHODS. Chromosomal analysis from chorionic villus sampling of 259 of 304 consecutive first-trimester miscarriages in the Uppsala County, Sweden is presented. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS. An abnormal karyotype was found in 61% of the cases. Autosomal trisomies were most frequently detected (in 37% of the karyotyped samples), followed by polyploidies (9%) and monosomy X (6%). Cases with an extra sex chromosome constituted approximately 5% of the karyotyped abortions, with a remarkable high frequency of 47,XXY (3.4%), that is approximately 40 times greater the prevalence of Klinefelter syndrome among live birth. Similar to autosomal chromosome abnormalities, present finding indicates that the majority of sex chromosome abnormalities do not survive to term. Autosomal trisomies and an extra X-chromosome in males (47,XXY) were associated with an advanced maternal age, whereas monosomy X as well as polyploidy changes seems to be inversely related to the age of the mother. The single most common aberration was trisomy 16, which was found in 14% of the chromosomally abnormal abortions. 相似文献

两种不同遗传学分析方法用于诊断自然流产组织的比较 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
目的探讨比较基因组杂交(CGH)技术与绒毛细胞培养染色体核型分析用于自然流产组织遗传学诊断的准确性。方法选择妊娠49—91d的自然流产患者38例,在无菌条件下经宫颈取绒毛,其中难免流产的新鲜组织标本27份,过期流产的陈旧组织标本11份。每份组织标本均采用绒毛细胞培养染色体核型分析,并同时采用CGH技术对全基因组进行分析。结果CGH技术诊断成功率为100%(38/38),而绒毛细胞培养染色体核型分析诊断成功率为82%(31/38)。两种方法的诊断符合率为90%(28/31),在3例出现不同诊断结果的病例中,1例绒毛细胞培养染色体核型分析显示染色体核型正常,而CGH技术显示3q^22_q^24缺失;另2例绒毛细胞培养染色体核型分析为3倍体,但CGH技术诊断结果显示正常。在7例绒毛细胞培养失败而仅有CGH技术诊断结果者中,3例为染色体非整倍体异常,另4例正常。结论CGH技术用于诊断自然流产组织是可行的。绒毛细胞培养染色体核型分析比较,CGH技术诊断成功率高,且对非平衡染色体结构重排的诊断有较高的敏感性,可以作为绒毛细胞培养染色体核型分析的补充方法。 相似文献

ObjectiveTo provide Canadian health care providers with current information on the use of quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) or equivalent technology in the prenatal diagnosis of fetal chromosomal abnormalities.OptionsOver the last few decades, prenatal diagnosis of fetal chromosomal abnormalities has relied on conventional cytogenetic analysis of cultured amniocytes, chorionic villi, or fetal blood. In the last few years, the clinical validity of a newer technique, QF-PCR, to detect the common aneuploidies has been reported by a number of investigators. This technique has the advantage of providing rapid results for the diagnosis or exclusion of aneuploidy in chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X or Y. It is now possible to choose standard chromosome analysis or QF-PCR for the prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities, or to perform both tests, depending on the clinical indication for testing. This document reviews the clinical utility of QF-PCR and makes recommendations for its use in the care of Canadian patients.EvidenceMedline and PubMed were searched for articles published in English between January 2000 and December 2010 that presented data on the use of QF-PCR versus standard cytogenetic analysis of prenatal samples. A second search was done to identify publications in English that provided results of cytogenetic analysis performed on prenatal samples for women at an increased risk of fetal aneuploidy because of maternal age, abnormal prenatal screening results, or fetal soft ultrasound markers suggestive of an increased risk of aneuploidy. Publications were included if they provided detailed information on the abnormalities detected, regardless of whether or not rapid aneuploidy screening was undertaken.Results were restricted to systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials, and relevant observational studies. Grey (unpublished) literature was identified through searching the websites of health technology assessment and health technology assessment-related agencies, clinical practice guideline collections, clinical trial registries, and national and international medical specialty societies.ValuesThe quality of evidence was rated using the criteria described in the Report of the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care (Table 1).Benefits, harms, and costsThis guideline promotes the use of a rapid aneuploidy DNA test for women at increased risk of having a pregnancy affected by a common aneuploidy. This will have the benefit of providing rapid and accurate results to women at increased risk of fetal Down syndrome, trisomy 13, trisomy 18, sex chromosome aneuploidy or triploidy. It will also promote better use of laboratory resources and reduce the cost of prenatal diagnosis. However, a small percentage of pregnancies with a potentially clinically significant chromosomal abnormality will remain undetected by QF-PCR but detectable by conventional cytogenetics.Recommendations1. QF-PCR is a reliable method to detect trisomies and should replace conventional cytogenetic analysis whenever prenatal testing is performed solely because of an increased risk of aneuploidy in chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X or Y. As with all tests, pretest counselling should include a discussion of the benefits and limitations of the test. In the initial period of use, education for health care providers will be required. (II-2A)2. Both conventional cytogenetics and QF-PCR should be performed in all cases of prenatal diagnosis referred for a fetal ultrasound abnormality (including an increased nuchal translucency measurement > 3.5 mm) or a familial chromosomal rearrangement. (II-2A)3. Cytogenetic follow-up of QF-PCR findings of trisomy 13 and 21 is recommended to rule out inherited Robertsonian translocations. However, the decision to set up a back-up culture for all cases that would allow for traditional cytogenetic testing if indicated by additional clinical or laboratory information should be made by each centre offering the testing according to the local clinical and laboratory experience and resources. (III-A)4. Other technologies for the rapid detection of aneuploidy may replace QF-PCR if they offer a similar or improved performance for the detection of trisomy 13, 18, 21, and sex chromosome aneuploidy.

OBJECTIVE: In chorionic villus sampling (CVS) the chromosome analysis is inconclusive in 1-2% of the samples. In many cases follow-up amniocentesis is performed. Fetal nucleated red blood cells (FNRBCs) are present in washings of chorionic villus samples. We wanted to establish whether analysis of these true fetal cells, using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), could support the CVS karyotype. METHODS: We analysed washings of first trimester chorionic villi from non-mosaic 45,X (n=6) and full trisomy 18 cases (n=7). FNRBCs were identified by immunostaining and FISH was performed with chromosome-specific probes for X, Y and 18. RESULTS: In all 13 samples FNRBCs were present (between 4 and 30 cells per sample). Five cases of monosomy X showed one X signal in 89-100% of the nuclei; in the other case 50% of the nuclei displayed one signal. In the trisomy 18 cases three spots were seen in 60-100% of the cells. CONCLUSION: The CVS aneuploidy was confirmed in FNRBCs in all samples, so FISH on FNRBCs can be used in cases of non-mosaic numerical chromosomal abnormalities. This test can confirm a CVS diagnosis of monosomy X or trisomy 18 and thus minimize the risk for false-positive diagnoses. An additional invasive test may be prevented. 相似文献

Chromosome abnormalities identified in 347 spontaneous abortions collected in Japan 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

OBJECTIVE: We determined the incidence of specific chromosome abnormalities in this Japanese population so that comparisons could be made to the incidence of chromosome abnormalities reported for other populations. METHODS: A total of 423 cases of products of conception aborted spontaneously were collected for cytogenetics analysis from various medical sites located in Japan. The cytogenetic results, along with clinical information including gestational age at the time of the miscarriage and maternal age, were compiled in a database. The incidence of specific chromosome aberrations was determined. The abnormalities were separated by gestational age at the time of the miscarriage and by maternal age. RESULTS: The total number of specimens available for cytogenetic analysis was 407. Cytogenetic results were obtained for 347 cases (85.3%), of which 196 (56.5%) showed chromosome abnormalities. Autosomal trisomy was detected in 120 cases (61.2% of the abnormal cases). Trisomy for each autosome, with the exception of chromosomes 1, 5, 6, 11, 12, and 19, was identified. The most common autosomal trisomy was that of chromosome 16 (30 cases), followed by trisomy 21 (13 cases), and trisomy 22 (13 cases). Eight cases showed double trisomies, and one case showed trisomy for three different chromosomes. Two cases showed monosomy 21, and 24 cases showed 45,X. Triploidy was identified in 27 cases and tetraploidy was detected in five cases. Unbalanced structural rearrangements were found in 11 cases, and balanced translocations were identified in two cases. Six cases showed mosaicism: three cases showed a normal cell line; and three cases had multiple abnormal cell lines. Separating the trisomies by the gestational age at which time the miscarriage occurred revealed that trisomies 7, 8, 14, 15, 16 and 22 occurred exclusively during the first trimester and fetuses with trisomies 4, 13, 18 and 21 survived late into the second trimester. CONCLUSION: Overall patterns of chromosome abnormalities detected in spontaneous abortions in Japan were similar to those reported in the literature. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the feasibility and superiority of comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) in the genetic analysis of spontaneously aborted tissues. METHODS: 38 conceptuses from early failed pregnancies were studied, of which, 27 samples were fresh and 11 were old. Each sample was divided into two parts, one part for conventional cytogenetic analysis and the other for CGH analysis. RESULTS: All 38 spontaneously aborted tissues were analyzed successfully by the CGH approach, but only 31 samples received results from the cytogenetic karyotype analysis, while 7 other tissues failed to get data due to failure in tissue culturing. Among the specimen successfully analyzed by both approaches, 90% (28 out of 31) obtained identical results, and 14 aneuploidies were found. The only structural chromosome aberration in this series, 46, XY, del(3) (q22-24), was found using the CGH approach, which appeared as a normal male karyotype on the chromosomal metaphase spread. Also, two cases indicated triploidies under cytogenetic analysis but appeared to be normal on the CGH profile. In addition, among the seven samples of tissue culture failure, CGH identified three to be aneuploidies. CONCLUSION: The CGH analysis accurately identifies chromosomal unbalanced abnormalities related to spontaneous abortions with low failure rate. 相似文献

A cytogenetic study of spontaneous abortions with direct analysis of chorionic villi 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The karyotypes of 144 spontaneous abortuses were determined using direct chromosome preparations from chorionic villi. The frequency of chromosome abnormality was 69.4%, which is considerably higher than figures cited in most previous cytogenetic surveys using the conventional method of cell culturing. Autosomal trisomy was the predominant abnormality (64%), followed by polyploidy (9%), monosomy X (7%), structural rearrangements (6%), mosaicism (6%), double trisomy (4%), and double chromosome anomaly (3%). Direct preparations have advantages in that results can be obtained rapidly, the success rate of karyotyping is satisfactory, and maternal-cell contamination is minimal. 相似文献

Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) is a FISH-related technique used to assess global chromosomal aberrations in a variety of human tumours. Recently CGH has been applied to cytogenetic analysis of fresh frozen fetoplacental tissues. Here we report the application of CGH to paraffin-embedded placental samples. Ten samples from paraffin-embedded blocks of 6 control placentas and fetoplacental tissue from 10 aneuploidies, and 2 unbalanced aberrations were evaluated. Balanced karyotype profiles were obtained from samples of healthy placentas and all samples from the same placenta appeared to have similar confidence intervals. CGH analysis of four cases of trisomy 21, three cases of trisomy 18, one case of trisomy 13, one case of trisomy 15 and one case of trisomy 7 all showed overrepresentation of the respective trisomic chromosome. The CGH profile was also in accordance with the karyotyping of a case with isochromosome 21. The CGH profile of a case with der (2)t(2;6)(q37.3;q22.2) revealed partial trisomy for chromosome 6 between q21 and q27. CGH may be a useful adjunct in prenatal genetic diagnosis when retrospective diagnosis is needed from archival samples. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: Increased nuchal translucency (NT) during the first trimester of pregnancy is a useful marker to detect chromosomal abnormalities. Here, we report a prenatal case with molecular cytogenetic characterisation of an abnormal derivative chromosome 9 identified through NT. METHODS: Amniocentesis was performed because of an increased NT (4.4 mm) and showed an abnormal de novo 46,XX,add(9)(p24.3) karyotype. To characterise the origin of the small additional material on 9p, we performed a microarray comparative genomic hybridisation (microarray CGH) using a genomic DNA array providing an average of 1 Mb resolution. RESULTS: Microarray CGH showed a deletion of distal 9p and a trisomy of distal 17q. These results were confirmed by FISH analyses. Microarray CGH provided accurate information on the breakpoint regions and the size of both distal 9p deletion and distal 17q trisomy. The fetus was therefore a carrier of a de novo derivative chromosome 9 arising from a t(9;17)(p24.3;q24.3) translocation and generating a monosomy 9p24.3-pter and a trisomy 17q24.3-qter. CONCLUSION: This case illustrates that microarray CGH is a rapid, powerful and sensitive technology to identify small de novo unbalanced chromosomal abnormalities and can be applied in prenatal diagnosis. 相似文献

Objective
The aim of this prospective study was to apply the MLPA technique to products of miscarriages and fetal deaths in order to detect the more frequent chromosome aneuploidies and compare the results to conventional karyotyping.Study design
Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) is a relatively new molecular technique for targeted detection of common chromosomal aneuploidies, namely trisomy 13, 18, 21 and sex chromosomal abnormalities. The reliability and high accuracy of this technique constitute an alternative for rapid results in large scale testing. In this study, a total of 489 DNA samples from fetal tissue were used for aneuploidy detection of chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X and Y using a commercial MLPA kit (SALSA P095) and were simultaneously subjected to conventional karyotyping.Results
MLPA was the only result available in 33% of the cases. A cytogenetic result was obtained in only 328/489 samples. MLPA detected 7.8% of chromosome aneuploidies. Among the total samples karyotyped, MLPA failed to detect some aneuploidies and the false-negative rate was 0.82%. As expected, ploidy changes and reciprocal translocations were not detected by this technique, but MLPA gave a conclusive result even in cases of mosaicism.Conclusion
The present data confirm that MLPA is a rapid, simple and reliable method for detection of chromosome 13, 18, 21, X and Y abnormalities in fetal tissue. 相似文献17.

The clinical significance of the absence of one of the two umbilical arteries (single umbilical artery) lies in its association with congenital malformations. Whether this association includes cytogenetic abnormalities is less clear. A retrospective review of all detected chromosomally abnormal pregnancies at the University of Maryland was carried out. Of 109 cytogenetically abnormal pregnancies, the number of umbilical cord vessels could be documented in 53 cases. Six (11.3%) had a single umbilical artery. A single umbilical artery was noted in two of nine fetuses (22.2%) with trisomy 18 and in two of six fetuses (33.3%) with trisomy 13. Two other unusual chromosomal constitutions were noted in cases of a single umbilical artery. None of the 11 fetuses with sex chromosome abnormalities (including eight with monosomy X) had a single umbilical artery. Of 18 fetuses with trisomy 21, none had a single umbilical artery. This study suggests that a single umbilical artery is preferentially associated with certain karyotypic abnormalities and that trisomy 21 does not appear to be associated with a single umbilical artery. 相似文献

Role of FISH on uncultured amniocytes for the diagnosis of aneuploidies in the presence of fetal anomalies 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

OBJECTIVE: To assess the accuracy of fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) on amniocytes in fetuses affected by structural malformations suggestive of chromosomal anomalies. METHODS: FISH of uncultured amniotic fluid cells and conventional cytogenetic analysis were performed on 48 pregnancies with ultrasonographic (US) evidence of fetal anomalies. The AneuVysion assay (Vysis) with specific probes for chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X and Y, was used. Amniotic fluid samples were obtained between the 14th and 34th weeks of gestation. RESULTS: In cases with a single abnormal US finding (n = 15), 5 aneuploidies were detected (1 case of trisomy 13 and 4 of trisomy 21). In the group with two or more malformations (n = 33) there were 15 aneuploidies (9 cases of trisomy 18, 2 of trisomy 21, 2 monosomy X, 1 trisomy 13, and 1 triploidy). In this group, conventional cytogenetic analysis revealed two additional chromosomal anomalies not detectable by FISH (1 trisomy 16 mosaic, and a terminal deletion 4p). No sex aneuploidies were observed. CONCLUSIONS: The lack of false-positive diagnosis in the FISH analysis in our sample prompts us to consider interphase FISH as a useful tool in pregnancies at high risk for chromosomal aneuploidies. When FISH analysis is normal, the overall risk of chromosomal abnormalities is significantly reduced. However, the finding of two chromosomal anomalies undetectable by AneuVysion assay confirms the need for conventional chromosome analysis to complement FISH results. Moreover, the results collected here, in agreement with those already reported in the literature, indicate that FISH analysis on uncultured amniocytes can play an important role in counselling and decision-making, especially in cases at risk for aneuploidies, such as those with structural abnormalities at US. 相似文献

AIM: Performing the standard cytogenetic technique on spontaneous abortion material is still a valuable tool, but finding a normal 46,XX karyotype can confuse investigators and lead to a problem in diagnosis. This is mainly because it is possible for the female or male conceptus to retain contaminating maternal cells. To address this possibility, we used fluorescence in situ hybridization technique (FISH). X (DXZ1: p11.1-q11.1 region) and Y (DYZ3: p11.1-q11.1 region) chromosome alpha-satellite probes were employed to confirm the karyotypes previously diagnosed as 46,XX by our cytogenetic laboratory, or to verify the occurrence of 'Y chromosome component'. METHODS: Besides conventional long-term tissue cultures and G-bands by trypsin using Giemsa (GTG) bandings, FISH analyses were also performed. RESULTS: A total of 134 spontaneous abortion specimens (singleton gestations) were referred for cytogenetic evaluation, of which 125 specimens were successfully karyotyped. Of these, 20.8% (26/125) had chromosome aberrations; 88.5% (23/26) of these aberrations were numerical and 11.5% (3/26) were structural. The most prevalent numerical anomalies were trisomies 15, 16 and 21, tetraploidies, triploidies and monosomy X. FISH results were obtained for 45 out of 92 cases with 46,XX, of which 2 (4.4%) showed XY signals. CONCLUSIONS: For accurate cytogenetic evaluation of spontaneous abortion materials, an additional technique such as FISH is required in order to confirm the cytogenetic results or to provide an estimate of the error rate in the analysis of miscarriages. 相似文献

1437例早孕期自然流产胚胎核型分析 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
目的:分析早孕期自然流产胚胎的异常核型的发生率。方法:对自然流产刮宫术后取得的胚胎绒毛细胞进行体外培养,G显带核型分析,统计异常核型的分布情况。结果:共收集到1 437例标本,患者平均年龄31.2±4.4岁,平均妊娠时间66.5±14.1 d。培养成功1 390例(96.73%),失败47例(3.27%)。正常核型595例(42.81%);异常核型795例(57.20%),其中非整倍体571例(71.82%)。前5位非整倍体排序为:16-三体(21.54%);22-三体(15.41%);45,X(14.01%);15-三体(4.38%);13-三体(4.20%)。染色体结构异常(包括不平衡易位、罗氏不平衡、缺失、插入、倒位、标记染色体等)比例较低,占自然流产总量的3.52%,占异常核型的6.16%。按患者年龄分为35岁组和≥35岁组,异常核型检出率分别为55.30%和63.69%,组间有统计学差异(P=0.008);非整倍体率分别为68.74%和81.00%,组间有统计学差异(P=0.001)。而嵌合体、三倍体、四倍体发生率无统计学差异。染色体结构异常发生率35岁组为8.07%,显著高于≥35岁组(0.50%)(P0.001)。第1次、第2次及≥3次自然流产异常核型发生率分别为61.64%、55.44%、52.62%,组间有统计学差异(P0.05)。结论:胚胎核型异常是早孕期自然流产的主要原因,非整倍体是主要异常核型。高龄孕妇异常核型与非整倍体发生率增高,染色体结构异常发生率降低。随自然流产次数增加,胎儿异常核型比例呈下降趋势;这说明流产次数本身是自然流产的风险之一。 相似文献
