摘要
目的检测1例左心发育不良胎儿的基因组拷贝数变异(copynumber variations,CNVs),寻找可能的遗传学病因,并探讨微阵列比较基因组杂交(array-based comparative genomic hybridization,array-CGH)在分子细胞遗传学诊断方面的优越性。方法对胎儿羊水细胞及其父母的外周血细胞进行常规G显带核型分析。用array-CGH芯片对胎儿进行高分辨率全基因组扫描分析,并用多重连接探针扩增技术(multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification,MLPA)对新发现的CNVs进行验证。结果胎儿羊水细胞及其父母的外周血细胞常规G显带核型分析未发现显著异常,Array-CGH结果发现胎儿基因组存在两个亚显微结构的拷贝数变异:del(11)(q24.1-ter)(121951443—134449216,-12.50Mb),dup(15)(q26.3)(96889082—100215359,-3.33Mb),MLPA结果验证了这两个基因组拷贝数变异的存在。结论Del(11)(q24.1-ter)很可能是患儿左心发育不良的病因。array-CGH技术具有高分辨率、准确等优点,是临床遗传学的重要技术手段,有助于基因组异常的检测和临床遗传咨询。
Objective To detect the copy number variations (CNVs) of a fetus with hypoplastic left- heart syndrome, and to assess the value of array-based comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) for molecular cytogenetic diagnosis. Methods The whole genome of a fetus with normal karyotype by G- banding was scanned and analyzed by array-CGH, and the CNVs was confirmed by multiplex ligation- dependent probe amplification (MLPA). Results Two submicroscopic CNVs [del (11) (q24. 1-ter) (121951443-134449216, -12.50 Mb), dup(15) (q26.3) (96889082-100215359, -3.33 Mb)] were identified and mapped by array-CGH. MLPA test confirmed both CNVs. Conclusion Del (11) (q24. 1-ter) may contribute to hypoplastic left-heart syndrome of the fetus. For its high resolution and high-accuracy, array- CGH has provided a powerful tool for detection of genomic imbalance.
