Comparison of the effects of chromosomal microarray and HLPA technology on the detection of chromosomal abnormalities in abortion villous tissues and analysis of the detection results of samples from different sources
Objective To compare the effects of chromosome microarray and HLPA on detecting chromosomal structure and number abnormalities in aborted villi tissue,and to analyze the differences in detecting chromosomal abnormalities in samples from different sources to provide reference for prenatal diagnosis.Methods Chromosome microarray and HLPA technology were used to detect the chromosome structure and variation of the DNA collected from the aborted villi tissue,and the distribution differences of chromosome abnormalities were analyzed by grouping the samples of embryo termination and early pregnancy abortion.Results Among the110 samples,the abnormal detection rate of chromosome chip was 45.5%,of which 41 cases(37.3%)were detected with abnormal chromosome number and 9 cases(8.2%)with chromosome microdeletion and microduplication.The abnormal detection rate of HLPA was 37.3%,among them,41 cases(37.3%)had abnormal chromosome number.In the detection of chromosome microdeletion and microduplication,there was a significant difference between the two detection methods(P<0.01).A total of 37 cases of abnormal chromosome number(56.1%)and6 cases of chromosome microdeletion and microduplication(9.1%)were detected in embryo abortion samples;a total of 4 cases(9.1%)of abnormal chromosome number and 3 cases(6.8%)of chromosome microdeletion and microduplication were detected in early pregnancy abortion samples.The detection rate of chromosomal abnormalities differs significantly between samples from embryos with arrested development and samples from early pregnancy miscarriages(P<0.001).Conclusion Both chromosomal microarray technology and HLPA technology can be used as tools for chromosomal testing in embryonic villi.The detection rate of chromosome microarray is higher than that of HLPA in the detection of chromosome microdeletion and microduplication.Moreover,this study found that there were differences in the distribution and type of chromosomal abnormalities in embryo termination and early pregnancy abortion
