Abstract
Several reports have presented that balanced chromosomal rearrangements (BCRs) carriers with normal phenotypes may be carriers of complex rearrangements. However, the incidence and PGT clinical outcomes of cryptic complex chromosome rearrangements (CCCRs) in individuals with BCRs is remain unknown. We recruited a cohort of 1,264 individuals with BCR carriers from 2016 to 2021 at the Reproductive and Genetic Hospital of CITIC Xiangya. Peripheral blood was collected for karyotyping and genomic DNA extraction and the PGT-SR clinical outcomes of CCCRs carriers were analyzed and compared with those of BCR carriers. Our findings revealed that 3.6% (45/1,264) of BCR carriers had CCCRs, involving 3-25 breakpoints on 1-3 chromosomes. Furthermore, when mate-pair sequencing was employed, 63.3% (19/30) of CCCR carriers were found to have chromosome rearrangements that were different from those identified by the MicroSeq technique. And the transferable embryo rate of CCCR carriers with 3 chromosomes was significantly lower than that of CCCR carriers with only 1-2 chromosomes. In this research, we revealed that some of the BCR carriers were actually CCCR carriers, and the prognosis of PGT in CCCR carriers with one or two chromosomes is better than that of CCCR carriers with three chromosomes.

Luo Y, Lu H, Zhang Y, Cui Z, Zhang P, Li Y. A case of complex balanced chromosomal translocations associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Mol Cytogenet 2022; 15:37. [PMID: 35989338 PMCID: PMC9394009 DOI: 10.1186/s13039-022-00615-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2022] [Accepted: 07/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Complex chromosomal rearrangements (CCR) are rare chromosomal structural abnormalities. The chromosomal structural variants in CCR carriers are one of the factors contributing to a history of adverse pregnancy and childbirth. In this study, we report a patient with a history of adverse pregnancy and childbirth who exhibited complex balanced chromosomal translocations. The female patient was phenotypically and intellectually normal; in her first pregnancy, the embryo was damaged, and a histological examination of the chromosomes of the embryos revealed a deletion of approximately 4.66 Mb at 1p32.3p32.2, a duplication of approximately 1.02 Mb at 1p22.2p22.1, a duplication of approximately 1.46 Mb at 6q27 and a deletion of approximately 7.78 Mb at 9p24.3p24.1. Chromosomal examinations of the patient revealed the karyotype to be 46,XX,(1;9)(p32; p34). In the second pregnancy, the foetus was diagnosed prenatally with three or more positive ultrasound soft indicators. The patient's karyotype was re-examined and further confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridisation as 46,XX,t(1;9;6)(p31;p22;q27), revealing this patient was a carrier of complex balanced chromosomal translocations. Carriers of CCR have a higher risk of spontaneous abortion, and genetic counselling clinicians should consider the karyotype analyses of such patients in clinical practice and recheck their chromosomes if necessary.
