Objective: To explore the impact of in vitro cell subculture on prenatal diagnostic sample results and compare the efficacy of conventional karyotyping and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) in detecting chromosome mosaicism.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of G-banding karyotyping and CMA data from 2007 amniocentesis cases to investigate chromosome mosaicism.
Results: Chromosome mosaicism was detected in 1.49% of cases (30/2007). Sex chromosome mosaicism was the most common form of mosaicism. Among the 30 mosaicisms, 18 results were consistent between the two methods. In four cases, CMA indicated mosaicism but the karyotypes were normal. In eight cases, CMA was normal while the karyotypes suggested mosaicism.
Conclusions: CMA and karyotyping complement each other in prenatal genetic diagnosis. Combining both methods enhances detection accuracy, particularly in cases of chromosomal mosaicism, which may be missed after the subculture of adherent cells in karyotype analysis.

Purpose: Analyze morphokinetic, morphology, and KIDscore™Day5 in different PGT-A classes, focusing on putative mosaicism level and type.
Methods: The single-center retrospective study analyzed 832 embryoscope-cultured blastocysts from cycles with at least one putative mosaic, conducted from 2020 to 2022. A P-value < 0.

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.

In monogenic diseases, double mosaic variants of the same gene have rarely been identified. Here, we report the case of triple mosaic variants in PURA, a gene responsible for a neurodevelopmental syndrome (OMIM# 616158). Whole-exome sequencing identified three somatic PURA variants in our case with a similar neurodevelopmental syndrome: NM_005859.

Mosaic loss of Y (mLOY) is the most common somatic chromosomal alteration detected in human blood. The presence of mLOY is associated with altered blood cell counts and increased risk of Alzheimer disease, solid tumors, and other age-related diseases. We sought to gain a better understanding of genetic drivers and associated phenotypes of mLOY through analyses of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of a large set of genetically diverse males from the Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) program.
