摘要
背景:虽然用下一代测序(NGS)进行滋养外胚层(TE)活检仍然是非整倍体(PGT-A)着床前基因检测的金标准,但在废培养基(SCM)中发现无细胞DNA (cfDNA)引发了人们对非侵入性PGT-A (NiPGT-A)作为潜在替代方法的兴趣。目的:本研究旨在评估SCM细胞cfDNA在高龄、反复着床失败或严重男性因素不育的IVF患者中作为NiPGT-A工具的可行性。背景和设计:这是一项前瞻性研究,共44个胚胎进行TE活检进行非整倍体检测,并在第5/6天收集各自的SCM进行分析。材料和方法:所有非整倍体囊胚(WB)采用Sureplex DNA扩增系统进行DNA提取和扩增,随后使用VeriSeq™PGS library Prep试剂盒制备文库,并在MiSeq (Illumina, California, USA)上测序。采用统计分析:使用BlueFuse Multi Software (Illumina)进行拷贝数变异可视化和分析。统计数据采用STATA version 14进行分析。结果:在36/44例(81.2%)SCM样本中获得了信息丰富的结果。在26对(SCM和TE活检)样本中可分析读数。17/26(65.38%)胚胎TE活检和SCM样本的NGS结果一致。每条染色体的一致性率为85.13%(487/572),性染色体的一致性率为73%(19/26)。NiPGT-A的敏感性和特异性分别为66.6%和60%。形态差胚的倍性一致性率为83.33%,而形态好胚的倍性一致性率为50%,P = 0.16,但差异无统计学意义。虽然不显著,但第6天胚胎的每条染色体和性染色体的一致性率高于第5天胚胎。结论:利用cf DNA检测SCM非整倍体是一种很有前景的技术,但需要更多的研究来提高灵敏度、特异性和一致性。
Role of Non-invasive Preimplantation Genetic Testing-Aneuploidy Using Spent Culture Media and its Concordance with Trophectoderm Biopsy: A Proof of Concept and Validation Study.
Background: While trophectoderm (TE) biopsy with next-generation sequencing (NGS) remains the gold standard for preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A), the discovery of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in spent culture media (SCM) has sparked interest in non-invasive PGT-A (NiPGT-A) as a potential alternative.
Aim: The study was conducted to assess the feasibility of cell cfDNA from SCM as a tool for NiPGT-A in patients undergoing IVF for advanced age, repeated implantation failure or severe male factor infertility.
Settings and design: This is a prospective study where a total of 44 embryos having TE biopsy for aneuploidy testing and their respective SCM collected at day 5/6 were analysed.
Materials and methods: All aneuploid blastocysts (WB) were subjected to DNA extraction and amplification using Sureplex DNA amplification system followed by library preparation using VeriSeq™ PGS Library Prep kit and sequencing on MiSeq (Illumina, California, USA).
Statistical analysis used: Copy Number Variation visualisation and analysis were carried out using BlueFuse Multi Software (Illumina). The statistical data were analysed by STATA version 14.
Results: Informative results were obtained in 36/44 (81.2%) SCM samples. The reads were analysable in 26 paired (SCM and TE biopsy) samples. Concordant NGS results for both TE biopsy and SCM sample were obtained in 17/26 (65.38%) embryos. The per chromosome concordance rate was 85.13% (487/572) and the sex chromosome concordance rate was 73% (19/26). The sensitivity and specificity of NiPGT-A were 66.6% and 60%, respectively. On comparing the ploidy concordance rate, poor morphology embryos had better, but not statistically significant concordance rate (83.33%) as compared to good morphology embryos (50%, P = 0.16). Although not significant, day 6 embryos had better per chromosome as well as sex chromosome concordance rate as compared to day 5 embryos.
Conclusion: Aneuploidy testing using cf DNA in SCM is a promising technique but needs more research on larger cohort size to improve the sensitivity, specificity and concordance rate.
