ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical values of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology in diagnosis of miscarried chorionic villi genetic disorders. Methods Patients who underwent miscarriage (n=87) were enrolled in this study. Among all patients, 32 cases were of recurrent miscarrage and 55 cases were of sporadic miscarriage. In all collected patients, 35 women were 35 years or older while other 52 women were less than 35 years old. Positive detection rate and the abnormal detection rate were compared between these two methods. Chromosomes abnormal rates were also compared among different types of miscarrage and different ages. All aborted villi tissue were analyzed by NGS of whole genome and G-band?ing karyotype. Results The successful detection rate of chorionic villi by NGS (100.00%) was higher than that of G-band?ing karyotype (74.71%), and the detection rate of abnormal chorionic villi by NGS (58.62%) was also higher than that of G-banding karyotype (50.77%). Three cases of chromosome structure anomaly were found in those 51 chromosome anomalies (5.88%). Other 48 cases of chromosome anomalies were aneuploidy anomalies (94.12%) include 39 cases of trisomy, 2 cases of double trisomy and 1 case of triple trisomy and 6 cases of monomer. On the other hand, 32 cases of chromosome aneuploi?dy anomalies were found in 33 chromosome anomalies by G-banding karyotype, which include 24 cases of trisomy, 2 cases of double trisomy, 1 case of triple trisomy, 5 cases of monomer and 1 case of chromosome structure anomaly. Most NGS re?sults (n=64) were in agreement with G-banding karyotype but with 1 case of discrepancy. Chromosomal abnormality rate de?tected by NGS in sporadic miscarrage group and recurrent spontaneous miscarrage group were 60.00%and 56.25%respective?ly. There was no significant difference (P>0.05). Chromosomal abnormality rate picked by NGS in women aged≥35 years old (71.43%) was higher than that in women<35 years old (50.00%) with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Conclu?sion NGS technology showed highly accuracy in detecting chromosomal abnomality from villi tissue. Therefore, it could help to detect genetic disorders of miscarrage. It is useful to determine the reasons of miscarrage and guide the next pregnancy.
