Application of next-generation sequencing to preimplantation genetic testing for recurrent hydatidiform mole patients.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To study the application of next-generation sequencing on preimplantation genetic testing for recurrent hydatidiform mole patients.

Methods

A total of ten recurrent hydatidiform mole patients aged 27-34 years with a history of at least twice hydatidiform moles and no normal pregnancy were collected from 2019 to 2020. The diagnosis of hydatidiform mole type was clarified using short tandem repeat genotyping on products of conception, and whole-exome sequencing was applied for all patients and their partners. Seven recurrent hydatidiform mole patients with complete hydatidiform mole/partial hydatidiform mole type among previous hydatidiform mole tissues and no Pathogenetic/Likely pathogenetic/Uncertain significance variants in NLRP7/KHDC3L/MEI1/C11orf80 underwent a procedure of preimplantation genetic testing. Next-generation sequencing for analyzing the copy number variants and the numbers of heterozygous single nucleotide polymorphism was adopted to clarify the ploidy and parental origin of the embryo chromosomes in vitro. Embryos with biparental diploidy were selected for transfer.

Results

Seven patients have undergone the procedure of preimplantation genetic testing, and twenty-three embryos were obtained, among which 82.6% (n = 19) were identified transferrable and 17.4% (n = 4) were identified aneuploid. Two patients have delivered healthy babies and another is currently in the second trimester after transfer.

Conclusion

Analyzing the copy number variants and the numbers of heterozygous single nucleotide polymorphism on the basis of next-generation sequencing can be utilized in the procedure of preimplantation genetic testing among part of recurrent hydatidiform mole patients. The current study is effective to reduce the occurrence of hydatidiform mole with improved clinical strategy, the advanced testing technology and analysis methods, as three of seven patients have conceived or delivered successfully.

Project description:BackgroundNext generation sequencing (NGS) is now being used for detecting chromosomal abnormalities in blastocyst trophectoderm (TE) cells from in vitro fertilized embryos. However, few data are available regarding the clinical outcome, which provides vital reference for further application of the methodology. Here, we present a clinical evaluation of NGS-based preimplantation genetic diagnosis/screening (PGD/PGS) compared with single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array-based PGD/PGS as a control.ResultsA total of 395 couples participated. They were carriers of either translocation or inversion mutations, or were patients with recurrent miscarriage and/or advanced maternal age. A total of 1,512 blastocysts were biopsied on D5 after fertilization, with 1,058 blastocysts set aside for SNP array testing and 454 blastocysts for NGS testing. In the NGS cycles group, the implantation, clinical pregnancy and miscarriage rates were 52.6% (60/114), 61.3% (49/80) and 14.3% (7/49), respectively. In the SNP array cycles group, the implantation, clinical pregnancy and miscarriage rates were 47.6% (139/292), 56.7% (115/203) and 14.8% (17/115), respectively. The outcome measures of both the NGS and SNP array cycles were the same with insignificant differences. There were 150 blastocysts that underwent both NGS and SNP array analysis, of which seven blastocysts were found with inconsistent signals. All other signals obtained from NGS analysis were confirmed to be accurate by validation with qPCR. The relative copy number of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) for each blastocyst that underwent NGS testing was evaluated, and a significant difference was found between the copy number of mtDNA for the euploid and the chromosomally abnormal blastocysts. So far, out of 42 ongoing pregnancies, 24 babies were born in NGS cycles; all of these babies are healthy and free of any developmental problems.ConclusionsThis study provides the first evaluation of the clinical outcomes of NGS-based pre-implantation genetic diagnosis/screening, and shows the reliability of this method in a clinical and array-based laboratory setting. NGS provides an accurate approach to detect embryonic imbalanced segmental rearrangements, to avoid the potential risks of false signals from SNP array in this study.

Project description:BackgroundGenetic screening in families with high risk to develop colorectal cancer (CRC) prevents incurable disease and permits personalized therapeutic and follow-up strategies. The advancement of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has revolutionized the throughput of DNA sequencing.MethodsA series of 16 probands for either familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP; 8 cases) or hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC; 8 cases) were investigated for intragenic mutations in five CRC familial syndromes-associated genes (APC, MUTYH, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6) applying both a custom multigene Ion AmpliSeq NGS panel and conventional Sanger sequencing.ResultsFourteen pathogenic variants were detected in 13/16 FAP/HNPCC probands (81.3 %); one FAP proband presented two co-existing pathogenic variants, one in APC and one in MUTYH. Thirteen of these 14 pathogenic variants were detected by both NGS and Sanger, while one MSH2 mutation (L280FfsX3) was identified only by Sanger sequencing. This is due to a limitation of the NGS approach in resolving sequences close or within homopolymeric stretches of DNA. To evaluate the performance of our NGS custom panel we assessed its capability to resolve the DNA sequences corresponding to 2225 pathogenic variants reported in the COSMIC database for APC, MUTYH, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6. Our NGS custom panel resolves the sequences where 2108 (94.7 %) of these variants occur. The remaining 117 mutations reside inside or in close proximity to homopolymer stretches; of these 27 (1.2 %) are imprecisely identified by the software but can be resolved by visual inspection of the region, while the remaining 90 variants (4.0 %) are blind spots. In summary, our custom panel would miss 4 % (90/2225) of pathogenic variants that would need a small set of Sanger sequencing reactions to be solved.ConclusionsThe multiplex NGS approach has the advantage of analyzing multiple genes in multiple samples simultaneously, requiring only a reduced number of Sanger sequences to resolve homopolymeric DNA regions not adequately assessed by NGS. The implementation of NGS approaches in routine diagnostics of familial CRC is cost-effective and significantly reduces diagnostic turnaround times.
