Abstract
Objective
To investigate the value of karyotype analysis, bacterial artificial chromosomes-on-beads (BoBs), chromosome microarray analysis (CMA) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in the diagnosis of sex chromosome numerical and structural abnormalities.
Methods
Conventional G-banding staining technique was used to analyze the karyotypes of amniotic fluid cells and parental peripheral blood cells in two pregnancies with prenatal diagnosis indications. Sex chromosome numerical and structural abnormalities were analyzed based on the results of G-banding, BoBs, CMA and FISH.
Results
The results of G-banding karyotype analysis showed that there were mosaics in amniotic fluid cells collected from both cases. Karyotype of Case A was 45,X[25]/46,X,idic(Y)(q11.2?)[6], and Case B was 45,X[39]/46,X,psu idic(X)(q21.32?)[44]. Parental peripheral blood karyotypes of both families were normal. Prenatal BoBs indicated copy number abnormalities in sex chromosomes (Y chromosome in Case A and X chromosome in Case B). CMA results suggested a 20.1 Mb duplication in Yp11.32q11.222, and a 7.7 Mb deletion in Yq11.222q11.23 in fetus A with possible karyotype of 46,X,idic(Y)(q11.222); for fetus B, a 92.0 Mb duplication in Xp22.33q21.32, and a 63.0 Mb deletion in Xq21.32q28 were detected, and the karyotype might be 46,X,psu idic(X)(q21.32). The mid-term FISH test of amniotic fluid cells showed that 90% of the amniotic cells from Case A were 45,X, and 10% were 46,X,idic(Y)(q11.2); about 38% were 45,X, and 62% were 46,X,psu dic(X)(q21.3) from Case B.
Conclusions
Numerical and structural abnormalities of sex chromosomes could be accurately diagnosed by combination of several methods including G-banding karyotype analysis, prenatal BoBs, CMA and FISH, which would help to effectively reduce birth defects.

期刊介绍:
Chinese Journal of Perinatal Medicine was founded in May 1998. It is one of the journals of the Chinese Medical Association, which is supervised by the China Association for Science and Technology, sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association, and hosted by Peking University First Hospital. Perinatal medicine is a new discipline jointly studied by obstetrics and neonatology. The purpose of this journal is to "prenatal and postnatal care, improve the quality of the newborn population, and ensure the safety and health of mothers and infants". It reflects the new theories, new technologies, and new progress in perinatal medicine in related disciplines such as basic, clinical and preventive medicine, genetics, and sociology. It aims to provide a window and platform for academic exchanges, information transmission, and understanding of the development trends of domestic and foreign perinatal medicine for the majority of perinatal medicine workers in my country.
