A feasible diagnostic approach for the translocation carrier from the indication of products of conception.
Background: Chromosome translocations are rare but frequently associated with infertility. The objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility of using chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) on products of conception (POC) samples as an indicator of parental balanced translocation. From January 2011 to December 2016, CMA using Affymetrix Cytoscan™750K array was performed on 1294 POC samples in our hospital. Karyotyping and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using parental blood samples were performed to validate the origin of subchromosomal copy number variations (CNVs).
Results: In the 1294 cases of POCs, we detected CNVs of terminal duplication and deletion that imply unbalanced translocation derivatives in 16 cases, and accurate diagnosis with the parental study was made in all the cases by karyotyping and/or FISH. In 10/16 (62.5%) of these cases, CNVs were inherited from one carrier parent of balanced translocation (Cases 1 to 10), while 6/16 (37.5%) cases occurred de novo (Cases 11 to 16).
Conclusion: This study clearly illustrated the importance of the utilization of CMA on POC, followed by parental karyotyping and FISH to better characterize CNVs. This approach is especially useful for couples in whom one partner carries a cryptic/submicroscopic balanced translocation but has an apparently normal karyotype.
