Noninvasive prenatal testing accurately detects trisomy for chromosomes 13, 21, and 18, but has a significantly lower positive predictive value for monosomy X. Discordant monosomy X results are often assumed to be due to maternal mosaicism, usually without maternal follow-up. We describe a case of monosomy X-positive noninvasive prenatal testing that was discordant with the 46,XX results from amniocentesis and postnatal testing. This monosomy X pregnancy doubled the single X chromosome, leading to 45,X/46,XX mosaicism in the placenta and uniparental isodisomy X in the amniotic fluid. Thus, at least some discordant monosomy X results are due to true mosaicism in the pregnancy, which has important implications for clinical outcome and patient counseling.

The Value of ROH Metrics for Predicting Morbidity: Insights From a Large Cohort Analysis of Chromosomal Microarray.

This retrospective cohort study aimed to define the optimal Regions of Homozygosity (ROH) size cut-offs for prediction of morbidity, based on 13 483 Chromosomal Microarray Analyses (CMA). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated, and area under the curve (AUC) was used to assess the predictive capability of total ROH percentage (TRPS), ROH number and ROH segment size in distinguishing between healthy (n=6,196) and affected (n=6,839) cohorts. The metrics were examined for telomeric and interstitial segments, distinct TRPS categories, and across different ancestral origins.

Uniparental disomy (UPD) exclusion in embryos following Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Structural Rearrangements (PGT-SR).

Purpose: Uniparental disomy (UPD) is a genetic condition which both copies of a chromosome are inherited from a single parent, potentially leading to imprinting disorders. This study aimed to assess the integration of Short Tandem Repeat (STR) analysis into Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Structural Rearrangements (PGT-SR) to assess UPD risk and its impact on selecting euploid embryos for embryo transfer in couples with chromosomal translocations involving imprinted chromosomes.
Methods: This study evaluated three couples carrying balanced chromosomal translocations: 45,XX,der(13;14)(q10;q10), 46,XX,t(10;11)(q22;q13), and 45,XY,der(14;15)(q10;q10).

Background: Chromosome abnormalities are a leading cause of conception failure and pregnancy loss. While traditional cytogenetics technologies like karyotyping have been helpful in identifying structural variations (SVs), they face challenges in detecting complex rearrangements and cryptic structures. In this study, we developed a new method called chromosome conformation based karyotyping (C-MoKa) to comprehensively detect different types of chromosomal abnormalities in patients with conception failure and pregnancy loss.
