In the last 10 years, parents have been requesting ever more information during pregnancy (2,3) and there has been an increase in the number of cases with ultrasound markers concerning possible fetal complications of unknown origin. This has led to the introduction of prenatal diagnosis and increasingly detailed techniques such as CGH Array (4-6). These techniques have become standard diagnostic practice in cases where the ultrasound scan provides a conflicting result. However, in reality, such procedures are thought to cover only 10% of the fetal anomalies linked to genetic malformations discovered at birth (7). Prenatal diagnosis is becoming more and more detailed due to the continual legal action taken by parents regarding diagnostic ultrasound which fails to identify fetal anomalies and regarding unwanted births in general (8-10). In fact, the continuous evolution of human genetics has led to the development of extremely detailed methodologies, which are able to evaluate not only the errors in chromosomes, both “big errors” (karyotype) and “small errors” (microdeletions, microduplications), but also gene mutations. To date, approximately 19,000 coding genes contained in the human exome have been identified. The recent introduction of NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) has made it possible, in theory, to explore the entire exome and reveal every form of mutation (11-15). Therefore, it is possible, today, to open up a completely new diagnostic scenario which would have been considered impossible only a few years ago. However, if this development is not controlled, it could lead to a so-called genetic “deviation”, i.e. a genetics that could have unforeseen repercussions on the life and dignity of the individual. In fact, the risks concerning possible social, emotional and financial consequences in the family and individual is very high. The potential negative impact of prenatal genetic testing must respect the “right not to know”. The exaggeration in ever more detailed testing concerning the genetic structure of the embryo creates tension within a family. In the future, this could create genetic discrimination regarding employment or health insurance costs (16,17). Despite the fact there is theoretically no technical limit to these methodologies, it is important to establish ethical and moral guidelines, at least regarding how these new methodologies are used in prenatal diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":89592,"journal":{"name":"Journal of prenatal medicine","volume":"19 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73836387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The following study reports the first case of preimplantation diagnosis through NGS of a form of LAMA2-related muscular dystrophy. CASE REPORT a couple came to our Reproductive Medicine Centre for a preconceptional genetic consultation and for advice regarding secondary infertility. The couple already had a 3-year-old child who was suffering from a form of muscular dystrophy that has yet to be genetically defined. The disease had been diagnosed at the age of 6 months. A blood sample was taken from both parents and the child in order to analyze the DNA through the Illumina NextSeq 500 platform and an enrichment protocol, Trusight One Sequencing Panel, created by Illumina for the simultaneous sequencing of the exon regions of 4,813 clinically relevant genes. This led to the identification of 2 point mutations in the LAMA2 gene, each inherited by a parent. The couple then underwent a cycle of IVF (in vitro fertilization). A preimplantation genetic diagnosis was carried out on the embryos obtained after setting up a protocol for the analysis of a point mutation in the LAMA2 gene, (this mutation has yet to be described in literature) and the normal embryos together with the recessive LAMA2-related muscular dystrophy related carriers were transferred. There were no complications during pregnancy, which terminated with a cesarean section at 39 weeks and the birth of healthy 3430-gram baby. CONCLUSIONS given its robustness, reliability and reproducibility, NGS could also be useful in prenatal diagnosis. This technique could guarantee an ample and quick analysis of the genes involved in development, making it possible to organize medical interventions during pregnancy and after birth.","PeriodicalId":89592,"journal":{"name":"Journal of prenatal medicine","volume":"37 1","pages":"17-24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82699417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
