Abstract
Uniparental disomy (UPD) refers to as both homologous chromosomes inherited from only one parent without identical copies from the other parent. Studies on clinical phenotypes in UPDs are usually focused on the documented UPD 6, 7, 11, 14, 15, and 20, which directly lead to imprinting disorders. This study describes clinical phenotypes and genetic findings of three patients with UPD 2, 9, and 14, respectively. Chromosomal microarray (CMA), UPDtool, methylation-specific multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MS-MLPA) and whole-exome sequencing (WES) analysis were performed to characterize the genetic etiology. The CMA revealed a homozygous region involving the whole chromosome 2 and 9, a partial region of homozygosity in chromosome 14. UPD-tool revealed a paternal origin of the UPD2. MS-MLPA showed hypomethylation of imprinting gene MEG3 from maternal origin in the UPD14 case. In addition, UPD14 case displayed complex symptoms including growth failure, hypotonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), accompanied by several gene mutations with heterozygous genotype by WES analysis. Furthermore, we reviewed the documented UPDs and summarized the clinical characteristics and prognosis. This study highlighted the importance to confirm the diagnosis and origin of UPD using genetic testing. Therefore, it is suggested that expanding of the detailed phenotypes and genotypes provide effective guidance for molecule testing and genetic counseling, and promote further biological investigation to the underlying mechanisms of imprinted disorders and accompanied copy number variations.

Polonis K, Lopes JL, Cabral H, Babcock HE, Kline L, Ruiz KM, Schwartz S, Hasadsri L, Rowsey RA, Hoppman NL. Uniparental disomy of multiple chromosomes in two cases with a complex phenotype. Am J Med Genet A 2023. [PMID: 37134191 DOI: 10.1002/ajmg.a.63224] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2022] [Revised: 04/17/2023] [Accepted: 04/21/2023] [Indexed: 05/05/2023]
Abstract
Uniparental disomy (UPD) is the inheritance of both chromosomal homologs from one parent. Depending on the chromosome involved and the parental origin, UPD may result in phenotypic abnormalities due to aberrant methylation patterns or unmasking recessive conditions in isodisomic regions. UPD primarily originates from somatic rescue of a single meiotically-derived aneuploidy, most commonly a trisomy. Double UPD is exceedingly rare and triple UPD has not been previously described. Here, we report two unrelated clinical cases with UPD of multiple chromosomes; an 8-month-old male with maternal isodisomy of chromosome 7 and paternal isodisomy of chromosome 9, and a 4-week-old female with mixed paternal UPD for chromosomes 4, 10, and 14. These cases also demonstrate that although extremely rare, the detection of AOH on two or more chromosomes may warrant additional clinical and laboratory investigation such as methylation and STR marker analysis, especially when involving chromosomes known to be associated with imprinting disorders.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We present low-level mosaic trisomy 9 at amniocentesis associated with a positive non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for trisomy 9, maternal uniparental disomy (UPD) 9, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and a favorable fetal outcome in a pregnancy. CASE REPORT A 41-year-old, gravida 3, para 0, woman underwent amniocentesis at 18 weeks of gestation because of NIPT at 10 weeks of gestation suspicious of trisomy 9 in the fetus. This pregnancy was conceived by in vitro fertilization (IVF). Amniocentesis revealed a karyotype of 47,XY,+9 [2]/46,XY[23]. Simultaneous array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis on the DNA extracted from uncultured amniocytes revealed arr (1-22) × 2, (X,Y) × 1 and detected no genomic imbalance. Polymorphic DNA marker analysis showed maternal uniparental heterodisomy 9 in the amniocytes. Prenatal ultrasound was normal. The woman was referred for genetic counseling at 22 weeks of gestation. The soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase (sFlt)/placental growth factor (PlGF) = 13.1 (normal < 38). There was no gestational hypertension. Continuing the pregnancy was advised. No repeat amniocentesis was performed because of persistent irregular contractions. IUGR was noted. A 2156-g phenotypically normal baby was delivered at 37 weeks of gestation. The cord blood and umbilical cord had a karyotype of 46,XY (40/40 cells). The placenta had a karyotype of 47,XY,+9 (40/40 cells). The parental karyotypes were normal. Quantitative fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) on the DNA extracted from parental bloods, cord blood, umbilical cord and placenta revealed maternal uniparental heterodisomy 9 in cord blood and umbilical cord, and trisomy 9 of maternal origin in placenta. When follow-up at age three months, the neonate was normal in development and phenotype. The buccal mucosal cells had 3% (3/101 cells) mosaicism for trisomy 9 by interphase fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis. CONCLUSION Mosaic trisomy 9 at prenatal diagnosis should alert the possibility of UPD 9 and include a UPD 9 testing. Low-level mosaic trisomy 9 at amniocentesis can be associated with UPD 9 and a favorable fetal outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We present detection of maternal uniparental disomy (UPD) 9 in association with low-level mosaic trisomy 9 at amniocentesis in a pregnancy associated with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), an abnormal first-trimester maternal serum screening result, abnormal non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), maternal preeclampsia and a favorable outcome. CASE REPORT A 37-year-old, primigravid woman underwent first-trimester maternal serum screening and NIPT at 11 weeks of gestation, which revealed a gene dosage increase in chromosome 9 and low levels of plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) and placental growth factor (PlGF) in maternal blood. The woman underwent amniocentesis at 16 weeks of gestation, which revealed a karyotype of 47,XX,+9[4]/46,XX[35] in cultured amniocytes. Simultaneous array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis on uncultured amniocytes revealed a result of arr [GRCh37] (9) × 3 [0.14] (X) × 2, compatible with mosaic trisomy 9. The parental karyotypes were normal. Repeat amniocentesis was performed at 20 weeks of gestation. The cultured amniocytes had a karyotype of 47,XX,+9[1]/46,XX[23]. The uncultured amniocytes had a mosaic trisomy 9 level of 10.7% (12/112 cells) by interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), a mosaic trisomy 9 level of 10-14% (log2 ratio = 0.1) by aCGH, and maternal uniparental isodisomy 9 by polymorphic DNA marker analysis. Prenatal ultrasound revealed IUGR, and the mother had preeclampsia. At 29 weeks of gestation, a 1054-g phenotypically normal baby was delivered because of preterm labor. The cord blood and umbilical cord had the karyotype of 46, XX and maternal UPD 9 and isodisomy 9, while the placenta had trisomy 9 of maternal origin. Postnatal FISH anlaysis on 101 buccal mucosal cells and 100 urinary cells at age three months detected no trisomy 9 signals. The baby was doing well at age six months. CONCLUSION Pregnancy with low-level mosaic trisomy 9 and maternal UPD 9 at amniocentesis can be associated with IUGR, maternal preeclampsia and a favorable outcome. Fetuses with maternal UPD 9 can be associated with an abnormal NIPT result concerning chromosome 9, an abnormal first-trimester maternal serum screening result (low PAPP-A and low PlGF) and mosaic trisomy 9 at amniocentesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We present prenatal diagnosis of low-level mosaicism for a small supernumerary marker chromosome (sSMC) derived from chromosome 9q (9q13-q21.33) in a pregnancy with a favorable outcome, and cytogenetic discrepancy between cultured amniocytes and uncultured amniocytes. CASE REPORT A 36-year-old, primigravid woman underwent amniocentesis at 17 weeks of gestation because of advanced maternal age. Cytogenetic analysis on cultured amniocytes revealed a karyotype of 46,XY in 20/20 colonies. Simultaneous array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) on the DNA extracted from uncultured amniocytes revealed 30% mosaicism for a de novo 20.3-Mb gene dosage increase at 9q13-q21.33. Repeat amniocentesis and cordocentesis were performed at 21 weeks of gestation. Cytogenetic analysis on cord blood revealed a karyotype of 47,XY,+mar [3]/46,XY [37]. aCGH analysis of cord blood revealed 7.5% mosaicism for a 17.15-Mb gene dosage increase at 9q21.11-q21.33. aCGH analysis of uncultured amniocytes revealed 11.7% mosaicism for a 17.15-Mb gene dosage increase at 9q21.11-q21.33. Polymorphic DNA marker analysis excluded uniparental disomy 9. The parental karyotypes were normal. The pregnancy was carried to 37 weeks of gestation, and a 2955-g phenotypically normal male baby was delivered. At birth, the cord blood had a karyotype of 47,XY,+mar [3]/46,XY [37], the placenta had a karyotype of 47,XY,+mar [10]/46,XY [30], and the umbilical cord had a karyotype of 47,XY,+mar [14]/46,XY [36]. aCGH analysis on the DNA extracted from cord blood at birth revealed no genomic imbalance. Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis on buccal mucosal cells at age two months detected 3.8% (4/106 cells) mosaicism for the sSMC, compared with 2% (2/100 cells) in the normal control. The neonate had normal physical development at age two months. CONCLUSION Cytogenetic discrepancy between cultured amniocytes and uncultured amniocytes may exist in the pregnancy with fetal mosaic sSMC. Low-level mosaicism for an sSMC derived from chromosome 9q13-q21.33 at prenatal diagnosis can be associated with a favorable outcome in the fetus.

Abstract
Background Uniparental disomy (UPD) refers to the situation in which two copies of homologous chromosomes or part of a chromosome originate from the one parent and no copy is supplied by the other parent. Case presentation Here, we reported a woman whose karyotype was 46, XX, t (1;17)(q42;q21), has obtained 5 embryos by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) after one cycle of in vitro fertility (IVF). After microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) for preimplantation genetic testing for chromosomal structural rearrangements (PGT-SR), two embryos were balanced, one balanced embryo was implanted and the patient successfully achieved pregnancy. Amniocentesis was performed at the 19th week of gestation for karyotype analysis and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-array test. The result of karyotype analysis was: mos 47, XXY [19]/46, XY [81]; SNP-array results revealed 46, XY, iUPD (9) pat. After full genetic counseling for mosaic Klinefelter’s syndrome and paternal iUPD (9), the couple decided to continue pregnancy, and the patient gave birth to a healthy boy. The newborn is now 3.5 years old, and developed normally. This case will provide counseling evidences of paternal iUPD (9) for doctors. Conclusions This is the first case report of paternal iUPD9 with mosaic Klinefelter’s syndrome, and no abnormality has been observed during the 3.5-year follow-up. Further observation is required to determine whether the imprinted genes on the chromosomes are pathogenic and whether recessive pathogenetic genes are activated.

Abstract
Uniparental disomy (UPD) is a rare type of chromosomal aberration that has sometimes been detected in paternity testing. We examined a 3-person family (father, mother, daughter) first by using short tandem repeat markers, which revealed 4 markers, TPOX, D2S1338, D2S1772, and D2S441, on chromosome 2 that were not transmitted in a Mendelian style. We then performed whole genome sequencing (WGS) to determine the range of the UPD. Chromosome 2 in the daughter showed a complete paternal UPD. To the best of our knowledge, this is the 4th case of complete paternal UPD of chromosome 2 with no clinical phenotype. Our study suggests that WGS, when performed to enhance the accuracy and reliability of parentage testing, can provide a powerful method to detect an UPD.

Abstract
Uniparental disomy (UPD) refers to a condition in which two homologous chromosomes or
chromosomal regions are inherited from one parent. Recent studies have shown that UPD is
not rare among the general population, arising from trisomy rescue, gamete
complementation, and other mechanisms. Although UPD is not necessarily pathogenic, it can
lead to various disease phenotypes by causing imprinting disorders or by unmasking
autosomal recessive mutations. Notably, known UPD-mediated autosomal recessive disorders
include congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, 11β-hydroxylase
deficiency, and 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency. In addition, UPD can occur in
combination with additional cytogenetic abnormalities that may affect growth and
development. Therefore, UPD represents a clinically important condition that accounts for
a certain percentage of the etiology of growth failure and endocrine abnormalities.
Although UPD is barely detectable by standard karyotyping or sequence analyses, it can be
screened by single nucleotide polymorphism- and microsatellite-genotyping of patients and
their parents, or by DNA methylation analysis of the patients. This mini-review introduces
the underlying mechanisms and phenotypic consequences of UPD in association with pediatric
endocrine disorders.
