Methods Clinical data of four patients who underwent pre-implantation genetic testing concurrently with OGM and chromosomal microarray analysis at the Center of Reproductive Medicine of the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January to October 2022 due to chromosomal structural abnormalities were selected as the study subjects. Some of the results were verified by multi-color fluorescence in situ hybridization. Results The OGM has successfully detected a balanced translocation and fine mapped the breakpoints in a patient. Among two patients with insertional translocations, OGM has provided more refined breakpoint locations than karyotyping analysis in a patient who had chromosome 3 inserted into chromosome 6 and determined the direction of the inserted fragment. However, OGM has failed to detect the chromosomal abnormalit in a patient with chromosome 8 inserted into the Y chromosome. It has also failed to detect circular signals in a patient with ring chromosome mosaicism. Conclusion OGM has successfully detected chromosomal structural variations in the four patients and provided assistance for their diagnosis.

Methods Ultrasonographic finding, pregnancy outcome and follow-up of nine fetuses detected at the Prenatal Diagnosis Center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2017 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Results The fetuses were found to harbor a duplication in the 7q11.23 region by chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). Among these, five had shown ventriculomegaly, including four syndromic and one non-syndromic. For the remainders, one had ventricular septal defect and mild tricuspid regurgitation, one had echogenic intracardiac focus, whilst another two were normal. Five couples had accepted parental verification, and the results confirmed that the 7q11.23 duplication carried by their fetuses were de novo in origin. Following genetic counseling, seven couples had opted to terminate their pregnancies. Two fetuses were delivered at full term, and follow-up had found no abnormalities. Conclusion Prenatal ultrasonographic manifestations of fetuses with 7q11.23 duplication syndrome are variable. CMA can provide assistance for their diagnosis and genetic counseling.

Methods Six patients who had visited the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University between February 2018 and October 2020 were selected as the study subjects. Clinical data of the patients were collected. High-throughput sequencing was carried out. And candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing. Results All of the six patients had presented with severe short stature (< 3s), brachydactyly, short and broad hands and feet. Other manifestations included joint stiffness, facial dysmorphism, delayed bone age, liver enlargement, coracoid femoral head, and lumbar lordosis. Genetic testing revealed that all had harbored heterozygous variants of the FBN1 gene. Patient 1 had harbored a c. 5183C>T (p.A1728V) missense variant in exon 42, which had derived from his father (patient 2). Patient 3 had harbored a c. 5284G>A (p.G1762S) missense variant in exon 43, which had derived from her mother (patient 4). Patient 5 had harbored a c. 5156G>T (p.C1719F) missense variant in exon 42, which wasde novo in origin. Patient 6 had harbored a c. 5272G>T (p.D1758Y) missense variant in exon 43, which was alsode novo in origin. The variants carried by patients 1, 3 and 6 were known to be pathogenic. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the FBN1: c. 5156G>T was rated as a pathogenic variant (PS2+ PM1+ PM2_Supporting + PM5+ PP3). Conclusion All of the six patients had severe short stature and a variety of other clinical manifestations, which may be attributed to the variants of the FBN1 gene.

Methods Thirty seven children diagnosed with PAH deficiency at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University between July 2016 and June 2021 were selected as the study subjects. Clinical data and results of genetic testing were retrospectively analyzed. Results Among the 37 patients, mild hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA) was observed in 34 cases, two PAH variants (including c. 158G>A), which formed a compound heterozygous mutation genotype, were detected in 33 patients, and the remainder one was found to harbor threePAH variants, including homozygous c. 158G>A variants and a heterozygous c. 842+ 2T>A variant. Classical phenylketonuria (PKU) was observed in 3 patients, and threePAH variants were detected in each of them, including two with c. [158G>A, 842+ 2T>A]/c.728G>A and c. [158G>A, 842+ 2T>A]/c.611A>G, respectively, and one with c. [158G>A, c. 722G>A]/c.728G>A. The c. 158G>A variant has a minimal influence on thePAH activity and is associated with a mild HPA phenotype. The variant should thereby be classified as likely benign. Conclusion When the c. 158G>A variant and other pathogenic variants are arrangedin cis position, the ultimate phenotype will be determined by the pathogenicity of other variants.

Methods A special SMA family presented at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University on October 19, 2020 was selected as the study subject. Multiple ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) and molecular tagging linkage analysis were carried out to identify the SMN1 genotype of the couple and their fetus. Subsequently, next-generation sequencing (NGS), molecular tagging linkage analysis, and chromosomal microarray analysis were employed to determine the haplotypes and validate the result of PGT-M on the 11 embryos derived for the couple. Results The female partner was identified as a carrier of the rare SMN1[2+ 0] variant, and prenatal diagnosis confirmed the fetus to be affected by SMA. Ultimately, PGT-M has successfully selected four embryos free from the pathogenic SMN1 variants and X chromosome deletion. Conclusion PGT-M can effectively prevent the transmission of rare genetic variants such as the SMA 2+ 0 subtype in the families. Above finding has provided guidance for genetic counseling and family planning for the couple.

Methods A proband who was admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Gansu Provincial Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital on December 19, 2017 was selected as the study subject. High-throughput sequencing and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) were carried out for her pedigree, and short tandem repeat-based linkage analysis and chromosome copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) were used for the prenatal diagnosis. Results The proband, a 3-day-old female, was found to harbor heterozygous deletion of exons 7-9 of the OTC gene. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the variant was classified as likely pathogenic (PVS1+ PM2_Supporting+ PP4). The proband was diagnosed with OTCD, which was in keeping with her acute encephalopathy and metabolic abnormalities (manifesting as hyperammonemia, decreased blood citrulline, and increased urine orotic acid). Prenatal diagnosis was carried out for the subsequent pregnancy. The fetus did not harbor the exons 7-9 deletion of the OTC gene, but was found to carry a duplication in Xq28 region (which encompassed the whole region of MECP2 duplication syndrome) and was positive for the SRY sequence. The same duplication was also found in the proband and her mother. Considering the possible existence of X-chromosome inactivation, the proband was diagnosed with two X-linked recessive disorders including OTCD and MECP2 duplication syndrome, and the fetus was determined as a male affected with the MECP2 duplication syndrome. Conclusion Discoveries of the pathogenic variants underlying the OTCD and MECP2 duplication syndrome have enabled clinical intervention, treatment, genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for this pedigree.
