OBJECTIVE: To explore the correlation between skewed X chromosome inactivation (XCI) and clinical phenotype of a Chinese pedigree with loss of heterozygosity at Xq22.1q22.3.
METHODS: A pedigree diagnosed at Taizhou Hospital on November 10, 2021 was selected as the study subject. G-banded chromosomal karyotyping and copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) were carried out to analyze the amniotic fluid and peripheral blood samples from the couple. XCI was detected by PCR amplification of CAG repeats in exon 1 of androgen receptor gene before and after the digestion with methylation-sensitive restriction enzyme Hpa II. Correlation between the genotype and clinical phenotype was analyzed.
RESULTS: The karyotypes of the pregnant woman and the fetus were both determined as 46,X,del(X)(q22), and the result of CNV-seq was seq[hg19]del(X)(q22.1q22.3) chrX: g.10046000_105740000del, suggesting that both had harbored a 5.28 Mb deletion on the X chromosome. No obvious abnormality was found in the husband. XCI analysis showed that the activity ratio of the two X chromosomes of the pregnant woman and her fetus was 0 : 100. The X chromosome harboring the q22.1q22.3 deletion was completely inactivated, and the inactivated X chromosome of the fetus was derived from its mother.
CONCLUSION: The fetus has harbored a maternally derived inactivated X chromosome del(X)(q22) , and its phenotype is closely associated with the activity of the abnormal X chromosome. Pedigree XCI analysis combined with the clinical phenotype has facilitated recognition of the maternal phenotype and prognosis of female fetus with loss of heterozygosity at Xq22.1q22.3.
