Background: Chromosomal mosaicism, a phenomenon observed in a minority of embryos, showcases its prevalence and inherent unpredictability, leading to variations in embryo mosaic rates across different centers. This research endeavors to assess the prevalence of mosaicism and its characteristics within the scope of our preimplantation genetic testing-A (PGT-A) services in Indonesia. Specifically focusing on our center's experience since 2020, this study aims to elucidate mosaic rates among embryos in our care.

Chromosome mis-segregation is common in human meiosis and mitosis, and the resulting aneuploidies are the leading cause of pregnancy loss. Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) seeks to prioritize chromosomally normal embryos for transfer based on genetic analysis of a biopsy of approximately five trophectoderm cells from blastocyst-stage fertilized (IVF) embryos. While modern PGT-A platforms classify these biopsies as aneuploid, euploid, or mosaic (possessing a mixture of normal and aneuploid cells), the underlying incidences of aneuploid, euploid, and mosaic embryos and the rates of meiotic and mitotic error that produced them remain largely unknown.

Maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 14, upd(14)mat, leads to Temple syndrome (TS), an imprinting disorder characterized by pre- and postnatal growth retardation, hypotonia, motor delay, joint laxity, and precocious puberty. The occurrence of upd(14)mat is rare, and it may, in even rarer cases, co-occur with trisomy 14 mosaicism. To date, only 11 live-born cases have been reported in the literature.

Objective: To compare the results of invasive prenatal diagnosis and preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) and explore the underlying mechanism.

Methods: Clinical data of pregnant women undergoing PGT and invasive prenatal diagnosis at the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2019 to December 2022 were collected. The results of PGT and invasive prenatal diagnosis were compared, and the outcomes of pregnancies were followed up.

Article Synopsis
  • Prenatal diagnosis of mosaic trisomy 21 was successfully performed on a 41-year-old woman during an amniocentesis, revealing a mix of normal and abnormal cells in the fetus due to a Robertsonian translocation.
  • Despite initial concerns, subsequent tests showed significant normalization in fetal cells, leading to a reassuring outcome.
  • At 38 weeks, the mother delivered a healthy baby with normal development, confirming that even low-level chromosomal abnormalities can result in positive pregnancy outcomes.
