Abstract
OBJECTIVE The prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal mosaicism is fraught with uncertainty. Karyotyping, chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA), and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) are three commonly used techniques. In this study, we evaluated these techniques for the prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal mosaicism and its clinical outcome. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective review of mosaicism was conducted in 18,369 pregnant women from January 2016 to November 2021. The subjects underwent amniocentesis to obtain amniotic fluid for G-band karyotyping with or without CMA/FISH. Cases diagnosed with chromosomal mosaicism were selected for further analysis. RESULTS In total, 101 cases of chromosomal mosaicism were detected in 100 pregnant women (0.54%, 100/18,369). Four were lost during follow-up, 61 opted to terminate their pregnancy, and 35 gave birth to a healthy singleton or twins. Among these 35 cases, postnatal cytogenetic testing was performed on eight and two exhibited mosaicism; however, nothing abnormal was observed in the postnatal phenotype follow-up. Karyotyping identified 96 incidents of chromosomal mosaicism including 13 with level II mosaicism and 83 with level III mosaicism, FISH identified 37 cases of mosaicism, and CMA identified 17. The most common form of chromosomal mosaicism involved monosomy X, of which the mosaic fraction in cultured karyotyping appeared higher or comparable to uncultured FISH/CMA (p < 0.05). Discordant mosaic results were observed in 34 of 101 cases (33.7%), most of which resulted from the detection limit of different techniques and/or the dominant growth of a certain cell line. CONCLUSION Based on the postnatal follow-up results from the babies born, we obtained a more hopeful result for the prognosis of chromosomal mosaicism. Although karyotyping was the most sensitive method for detecting chromosomal mosaicism, artifacts and bias resulting from culture should be considered, particularly for sex chromosomal abnormalities involving X monosomy, in which the combination with uncultured FISH was necessary. KEY POINTS · Karyotyping combined with uncultured FISH or CMA is beneficial for prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal mosaicism.. · Fetuses without ultrasound structural anomalies with chromosomal mosaicism often have optimistic prognosis..

Mol Genet Genomic Med 2023; 11:e2229. [PMID: 37337789 PMCID: PMC10568385 DOI: 10.1002/mgg3.2229] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2022] [Revised: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 06/03/2023] [Indexed: 06/21/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The identification of genetic mosaicism and the genetic counseling needed following its discovery have been challenging problems in the field of prenatal diagnosis. Herein, we describe the clinical phenotypes and various prenatal diagnostic processes used for two rare cases of 9p duplication mosaicism and review the prior literature in the field to evaluate the merits of different methods for diagnosing mosaic 9p duplication. METHODS We recorded ultrasound examinations, reported the screening and diagnosis pathways, and analyzed the mosaic levels of the two cases of 9p duplication using karyotype analysis, chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA), and fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis (FISH). RESULTS Case 1 had a normal clinical phenotype for tetrasomy 9p mosaicism, and Case 2 showed multiple malformations caused by both trisomy 9 and trisomy 9p mosaicism. Both cases were initially suspected after non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPT) based on cell-free DNA. The mosaic ratio of 9p duplication found via karyotyping was lower than what was discovered by CMA and FISH, in both cases. Contrary to previous findings, the mosaic level of trisomy 9 found by karyotype analysis was greater than what was found by CMA, in terms of complex mosaicism involving trisomy 9 and trisomy 9p, in Case 2. CONCLUSION NIPT can indicate 9p duplication mosaicism during prenatal screening. Different strengths and limitations existed in terms of diagnosing mosaic 9p duplication by karyotype analysis, CMA, and FISH. The combined use of various methods may be capable of more accurately determining break-points and mosaic levels of 9p duplication during prenatal diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We present low-level mosaic trisomy 2 at amniocentesis in a pregnancy associated with positive non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) and chorionic villus sampling (CVS) results for trisomy 2, maternal uniparental disomy (UPD) 2, perinatal progressive decrease of the aneuploid cell line, cytogenetic discrepancy between cultured amniocytes and uncultured amniocytes, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and a favorable fetal outcome. CASE REPORT A 35-year-old, primigravid woman underwent amniocentesis at 16 weeks of gestation because both NIPT at 9 weeks of gestation and CVS at 11 weeks of gestation revealed trisomy 2. This pregnancy was conceived by in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET). Amniocentesis revealed a karyotype of 47,XY,+2[11]/46,XY[19]. Prenatal ultrasound findings were normal. She was referred to the hospital for genetic counseling at 20 weeks of gestation, and repeat amniocentesis performed at 24 weeks of gestation revealed a karyotype of 46,XY (22/22 colonies). The parental karyotypes were normal. Quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) analysis on the DNA extracted from uncultured amniocytes and parental bloods revealed maternal uniparental heterodisomy of chromosome 2. Simultaneous molecular cytogenetic analysis on uncultured amniocytes showed the results of arr 2p25.3q37.3 × 2.4 with a log2 ratio = 0.26, consistent with 40% mosaicism for trisomy 2 by array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), and 28% (28/100 cells) mosaicism for trisomy 2 by interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Despite IUGR on fetal ultrasound, the woman was advised to continue the pregnancy, and a 2252-g phenotypically normal male baby was delivered at 38 weeks of gestation. The karyotypes of cord blood, umbilical cord and placenta were 46,XY (40/40 colonies), 46,XY (40/40 colonies) and 47,XY,+2[9]/46,XY[31], respectively. QF-PCR analysis on cord blood, umbilical cord and placenta confirmed uniparental heterodisomy of chromosome 2 in the cord blood and umbilical cord, and maternal origin of trisomy 2 in the placenta. FISH analysis on buccal mucosal cells at age 1.5 months revealed 8.7% (9/104 cells) mosaicism for trisomy 2. When follow-up at age four months, the neonate manifested a normal phenotype except intermittent hypoventilation. Molecular analysis of the PHOX2B gene revealed a normal result. When follow-up at age one year, he manifested normal development. CONCLUSION Mosaic trisomy 2 at prenatal diagnosis should alert the possibility of UPD 2 and include a UPD 2 testing. Low-level mosaic trisomy 2 at amniocentesis can be associated with perinatal progressive decrease of the aneuploid cell line and a favorable fetal outcome.

Prenatal Detection of Trisomy 2: Considerations for Genetic Counseling and Testing. Genes (Basel) 2023; 14:genes14040913.

Abstract
We report on the case of prenatal detection of trisomy 2 in placental biopsy and further algorithm of genetic counseling and testing. A 29-year-old woman with first-trimester biochemical markers refused chorionic villus sampling and preferred targeted non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), which showed low risk for aneuploidies 13, 18, 21, and X. A series of ultrasound examinations revealed increased chorion thickness at 13/14 weeks of gestation and fetal growth retardation, a hyperechoic bowel, challenging visualization of the kidneys, dolichocephaly, ventriculomegaly, increase in placental thickness, and pronounced oligohydramnios at 16/17 weeks of gestation. The patient was referred to our center for an invasive prenatal diagnosis. The patient's blood and placenta were sampled for whole-genome sequencing-based NIPT and array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), respectively. Both investigations revealed trisomy 2. Further prenatal genetic testing in order to confirm trisomy 2 in amniocytes and/or fetal blood was highly questionable because oligohydramnios and fetal growth retardation made amniocentesis and cordocentesis technically unfeasible. The patient opted to terminate the pregnancy. Pathological examination of the fetus revealed internal hydrocephalus, atrophy of brain structure, and craniofacial dysmorphism. Conventional cytogenetic analysis and fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed chromosome 2 mosaicism with a prevalence of trisomic clone in the placenta (83.2% vs. 16.8%) and a low frequency of trisomy 2, which did not exceed 0.6% in fetal tissues, advocating for low-level true fetal mosaicism. To conclude, in pregnancies at risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities that refuse invasive prenatal diagnosis, whole-genome sequencing-based NIPT, but not targeted NIPT, should be considered. In prenatal cases of trisomy 2, true mosaicism should be distinguished from placental-confined mosaicism using cytogenetic analysis of amniotic fluid cells or fetal blood cells. However, if material sampling is impossible due to oligohydramnios and/or fetal growth retardation, further decisions should be based on a series of high-resolution fetal ultrasound examinations. Genetic counseling for the risk of uniparental disomy in a fetus is also required.

Abstract
Chromosomal mosaicism remains a perpetual diagnostic and clinical dilemma. In the present study, we detected two prenatal trisomy 9 mosaic syndrome cases by using multiple genetic testing methods. The non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) results suggested trisomy 9 in two fetuses. Karyotype analysis of amniocytes showed a high level (42%–50%) of mosaicism, and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) of uncultured amniocytes showed no copy number variation (CNV) except for large fragment loss of heterozygosity. Ultrasound findings were unmarkable except for small for gestational age. In Case 1, further umbilical blood puncture confirmed 22.4% and 34% trisomy 9 mosaicism by CMA and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) respectively. After comprehensive consideration of the genetic and ultrasound results, the two gravidas decided to receive elective termination and molecular investigations of multiple tissue samples from the aborted fetus and the placenta. The results confirmed the presence of true fetoplacental mosaicism with levels of trisomy 9 mosaicism from 76% to normal in various tissues. These two cases highlight the necessity of genetic counseling for gravidas whose NIPT results highly suggest the risk of chromosome 9 to ascertain the occurrence of mosaicism. In addition, the comprehensive use of multiple genetic techniques and biological samples is recommended for prenatal diagnosis to avoid false-negative results. It should also be noted that ultrasound results of organs with true trisomy 9 mosaicism can be free of structural abnormalities during pregnancy.

Abstract
Mosaic embryos have the potential to implant and develop into healthy babies. The transfer of mosaic embryos is now considered to be a possible option for women undergoing ART with preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies and in the absence of euploid embryos, particularly those with diminished ovarian reserve and/or advanced maternal age. It can aid in avoiding the discard of potentially viable embryos, which might otherwise result in healthy babies. In over 500 studies on mosaicism, there have been no reports of mosaicism in babies born following the transfer of mosaic embryos. Here, we present a case report of a 39-year-old woman with diminished ovarian reserve with only one blastocyst available for trophectoderm biopsy. The transfer of the embryo, which showed 35% mosaicism of monosomy 2, resulted in pregnancy. Amniocentesis revealed a mosaic trisomic mos46,XX(98)/47,XX,+2(2) karyotype. There were no pathological findings in detailed ultrasonography, and the fetus showed a normal fetal growth with no evidence of intrauterine growth retardation. A healthy female baby was born at Week 37. The peripheral blood chromosome analysis validated with fluorescence in situ hybridization showed 2% mosaic monosomy 2 [mos45,XX,-2(2)/46,XX(98)]. This is the first reported case of true fetal mosaicism resulting in a live birth following the transfer of a known mosaic embryo. Worldwide, prenatal diagnosis has shown the depletion of mosaicism in embryos transferred after they have been reported as mosaics. Our case demonstrates the need for close prenatal monitoring and diagnosis by early amniocentesis, preferably at >14 weeks gestation.

Integrated CNV-seq, karyotyping and SNP-array analyses for effective prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal mosaicism. BMC Med Genomics 2021; 14:56.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Emerging studies suggest that low-coverage massively parallel copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) more sensitive than chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) for detecting low-level mosaicism. However, a retrospective back-to-back comparison evaluating accuracy, efficacy, and incremental yield of CNV-seq compared with CMA is warranted. METHODS A total of 72 mosaicism cases identified by karyotyping or CMA were recruited to the study. There were 67 mosaic samples co-analysed by CMA and CNV-seq, comprising 40 with sex chromosome aneuploidy, 22 with autosomal aneuploidy and 5 with large cryptic genomic rearrangements. RESULTS Of the 67 positive mosaic cases, the levels of mosaicism defined by CNV-seq ranged from 6 to 92% compared to the ratio from 3 to 90% by karyotyping and 20% to 72% by CMA. CNV-seq not only identified all 43 chromosomal aneuploidies or large cryptic genomic rearrangements detected by CMA, but also provided a 34.88% (15/43) increased yield compared with CMA. The improved yield of mosaicism detection by CNV-seq was largely due to the ability to detect low level mosaicism below 20%. CONCLUSION In the context of prenatal diagnosis, CNV-seq identified additional and clinically significant mosaicism with enhanced resolution and increased sensitivity. This study provides strong evidence for applying CNV-seq as an alternative to CMA for detection of aneuploidy and mosaic variants.

Hao M, Li L, Zhang H, Li L, Liu R, Yu Y. The difference between karyotype analysis and chromosome microarray for mosaicism of aneuploid chromosomes in prenatal diagnosis. J Clin Lab Anal 2020; 34:e23514. [PMID: 32864771 PMCID: PMC7755766 DOI: 10.1002/jcla.23514] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2020] [Revised: 07/09/2020] [Accepted: 07/10/2020] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare karyotype and chromosomal microarray (CMA) analysis of aneuploid chromosome mosaicism in amniocentesis samples. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 2091 amniocentesis samples from pregnant women were collected from March 1, 2019, to January 31, 2020. Karyotype analysis was performed using G-banding and CMA analysis used the Affymetrix CytoScan 750K SNP microarray. RESULT Thirteen cases with aneuploid chromosome mosaicism were detected and compared between the karyotype and CMA methods. Seven of these cases were trisomic mosaicism, and the levels of mosaicism calculated from CMA were higher than those detected from karyotype analysis; noting three cases of trisomy mosaicism were not detected by karyotype analysis. Four cases exhibited monomeric mosaicism, and the levels of mosaicism detected in three of these cases were higher in karyotype compared with CMA analysis; one case had equivalent levels of monomeric mosaicism from both karyotype and CMA analysis. Two other cases from karyotype analysis were a mix of monosomic and trisomic mosaicism, whereas the CMA result was restricted to monosomic mosaicism for these cases. CONCLUSION Both karyotype and CMA analysis can be used to detect aneuploid chromosome mosaicism. However, the two methods produced different results. CMA and karyotype analysis have their own advantages in detecting aneuploid mosaicism, and the combination of these methods provides a more rigorous diagnosis.

Abstract
Background We presented two cases of mosaic trisomy 2 with high risk of maternal serum screening and non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). The invasive amniocentesis was performed and genetic tests including karyotype, single nucleotide polymorphism array(SNP-array), interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) were employed to detect the chromosomal abnormality. Results Cytogentic analysis of the case 1 and 2 showed a mosaic karyotype consisting of two cell lines (mos 47,XY,+2[8]/46,XY[19] and mos 47,XX,+2[7]/46,XX[28], respectively). SNP-array using DNA extracted from uncultured amniotic fluid cells revealed a result of arr[GRCh38](2)x2~3, which indicated that chromosome 2 may be trisomy of mosaicism in both two cases. The results of interphases FISH confirmation test showed that three red signals of the CEP 2 specific probe in 14%(14/100) and 12%(12/100) of the two cases’ cells, respectively, which indicated a mosaicism for trisomy 2 in the uncultured amniocytes. Fetal ultrasound of case 1 suggested that the long bone is smaller than the gestational age, while the case 2 showed that the biparietal diameter (BPD), head circumference (HC) and femur length (FL) were smaller than gestational age along with abnormal cardiac structure. Conclusions We presented two cases with mosaic trisomy 2 and performed confirmatory genetic testing using cultured and uncultured amniocytes. When maternal serum screening and NIPT suggesting high risk, genetic counselor should be alert for increasing possibility of chromosomal anomalies if combined with abnormal ultrasound findings.

The significance of trisomy 7 mosaicism in noninvasive prenatal screening. Hum Genomics 2019; 13:18. [PMID: 30971315 PMCID: PMC6458712 DOI: 10.1186/s40246-019-0201-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2018] [Accepted: 03/18/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background This study was an evaluation of the role of noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) in the detection of trisomy 7 in prenatal diagnosis. Method A total of 35 consecutive cases underwent screening for trisomies by cell-free DNA testing between April 2015 and November 2017 due to suspicious NIPT results; these cases represented 0.11% of patients (35/31,250) with similar frequencies of abnormal results among the laboratories performing the tests. NIPT was offered to further screen for common fetal chromosomal abnormalities. Karyotype analysis, chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA), and next-generation sequencing (NGS) were used to detect 20, 14, and 25 patients, respectively, who accepted confirmatory diagnostic testing. Results High-risk results by NIPT were recorded for trisomy 7 alone in 29 women: dual aneuploidy in 4 patients and multiple aneuploidy in 2 patients. Karyotype analysis of amniotic fluid cells was normal in all 20 pregnancies, suggesting a probability of confined placental mosaicism. Further CMA data were obtained in 14 of the cases mentioned above, and 2 fetuses were detected with positive results with copy number variation. The NGS results suggested that all these samples were placental chimerisms of chromosome 7, except for one sample that was found to be an additional chimerism of chromosome 2, which was also consistent with the NIPT result. Conclusion Our results may be useful for the counseling of pregnant women in the detection of trisomy 7 by NIPT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To present the calculated frequencies, male to female sex-ratio, and modes of ascertainments in different levels of chromosomal mosaicism (CM) detected at amniocentesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS This's a 10-years retrospective study between January 2008 and December 2017 and there were 13,752 cases of amniocentesis performed in MacKay Memorial Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan. Eight hundred and thirty four cases of CM were collected in this study. We reviewed their types of chromosomal abnormalities of mosaicism, the modes of ascertainment (including: advanced maternal age, abnormal ultrasound findings, abnormal maternal serum screening result, and other reasons), maternal age, gestational age at amniocentesis, fetal gender, and perinatal findings. After amniocentesis, in situ culture was performed and the results of karyotype with CM were divided in to three levels. RESULTS In our sample of 13,752 amniocentesis, 834 cases with all levels of CM were collected in this study. Of them, there were 562 cases (4.09%) with level I mosaicism, 207 cases (1.51%) of level II mosaicism, and 65 cases (0.47%) of level III mosaicism (Table 1). In the group of advanced of maternal age (AMA), their calculated frequencies, 4.18% in level I, 1.46% in level II and 0.41% in level III, were very similar to those in total cases (p value = 0.206) without statistical significance. In the group of abnormal ultrasound findings, the calculated frequency was much higher in level III (0.87%), however, there was no statistical significance because of the small numbers of level III. In our cases of amniocentesis, the case numbers of male case (50.20%) is very similar to female (49.80%), and the male to female ratio was 1.01. But, we found more cases of male with CM (444 cases) than female (390 cases). The sex-ratio in different levels' calculated frequencies of CM showed similar in level I, and male prevalence was found in level II and III with statistical significance (p value = 0.022). The male prevalence also revealed in both numerical and structural abnormalities in level II and level III, but no difference in the cases of level I. CONCLUSION In conclusion, our observation showed a novel finding of higher male prevalence of CM in level II and III, and both in numerical and structural abnormalities. It's consistent with the theory of better survival in male embryo after partial self-correction of initial chromosomal aberrations, male-specific selection against chromosomal abnormalities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was aimed at prenatal diagnosis of mosaic tetrasomy 9p and reviewing the literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 37-year-old woman underwent amniocentesis at 20 weeks' gestation because of advanced maternal age and fetal ascites. Cytogenetic analysis of cultured amniocytes revealed 21.4% (6/28 colonies) mosaicism for a supernumerary i(9p). Repeat amniocentesis was performed at 23 weeks' gestation. Array comparative genomic hybridization, interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization, and quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction were applied to uncultured amniocytes, and conventional cytogenetic analysis was applied to cultured amniocytes. RESULTS Array comparative genomic hybridization analysis of uncultured amniocytes detected a genomic gain at 9p24.3-9q21.11. Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis of uncultured amniocytes using a 9p24.3-specific probe RP11-31F19 (spectrum red) showed four red signals in 47.1% (49/104 cells) in uncultured amniocytes. Cytogenetic analysis of cultured amniocytes revealed a karyotype of 47,XX, +idic(9)(pter→q21.11::q21.11→pter)[4]/46,XX[20] and 16.7% (4/24 colonies) mosaicism for tetrasomy 9p. Quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction confirmed a maternal origin of tetrasomy 9p. The pregnancy was terminated, and a malformed fetus was delivered with hydrops fetalis and facial dysmorphism. The fetal blood cells had 32.5% (13/40 cells) mosaicism for tetrasomy 9p. CONCLUSION Mosaic tetrasomy 9p at amniocentesis can be associated with fetal ascites and hydrops fetalis. The mosaic level of tetrasomy 9p may decrease after long-term tissue culture in amniocytes in case of mosaic tetrasomy 9p.

Abstract
Chromosomal mosaicism is one of the primary interpretative issues in prenatal diagnosis. In this review, the mechanisms underlying feto-placental chromosomal mosaicism are presented. Based on the substantial retrospective diagnostic experience with chorionic villi samples (CVS) of a prenatal diagnosis laboratory the following items are discussed: (i) The frequency of the different types of mosaicism (confined placental, CPM, and true fetal mosaicisms, TFM); (ii) The risk of fetal confirmation after the detection of a mosaic in CVS stratified by chromosome abnormality and placental tissue involvement; (iii) The frequency of uniparental disomy for imprinted chromosomes associated with CPM; (iv) The incidence of false-positive and false-negative results in CVS samples analyzed by only (semi-)direct preparation or long term culture; and (v) The implications of the presence of a feto-placental mosaicism for microarray analysis of CVS and non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPS).
