用FISH技术研究人类体外未受精卵的21号染色体非整倍体

采用荧光原位杂交技术,选用人类21号染色体端粒探针（21qter）,检测人类体外未受精卵的21号染色体非整倍体发生率,并比较非整倍体率与25－30岁和31－35岁这两个女性年龄组、IVF指征、超排方案之间的关系,在54个未受精卵中,正常21号单体30枚,二体16枚,三体4枚,缺体4枚,非整倍体率为44.4％（24／54）;25－30岁和31－35岁这两个年龄组、IVF指征、超排方案的患者的21号染色体非整倍体率之间的差异无显著性,卵母细胞21号染色体的非整倍性是造成体外受精失败的重要原因之一。     

44例不同孕周脐带脱垂患者的临床资料分析

目的:探讨不同孕周脐带脱垂患者相关因素的差异。方法:回顾性比较分析2012年01月至2017年12月我院收治的44例脐带脱垂患者的临床资料。将患者按照脐带脱垂发生的孕周分为足月组、早产组及流产组,使用SPSS18.0统计软件处理数据。结果:我院近六年脐带脱垂总的发病率为1.829/1000。44例患者中,足月组7人,占15.91%;早产组22人,占50%;流产组15人,占34.09%。三组患者的年龄、产次及孕次均无显著统计学差异(P0.05)。足月组新生儿apgar评分最高,与其它两组相比均有统计学差异(P0.05),早产组apgar评分显著高于流产组(P0.05);足月组剖宫产率为100%,早产组为63.64%,流产组则为13.13%,三组患者剖宫产率比较存在统计学差异(P=0.000),足月组剖宫产率与早产组比较无统计学差异(P=0.075),足月组剖宫产率与流产组比较有统计学差异(P=0.000),早产组剖宫产率与流产组比较有统计学差异(P=0.003)。足月组异常胎方位的发生率显著低于早产组(P=0.038)。早产组胎儿数(单胎、双胎)与足月组及流产组相比均有统计学差异(P0.05),而足月组与流产组胎儿数则无统计学差异(P0.05)。早产组双胎妊娠占比例更高。三组患者发生脐带脱垂的地点比较无统计学差异(P=0.256)。结论:不同孕周是否发生脐带脱垂与患者的年龄、产次、孕次及地点无关。脐带脱垂较多发生于早产者,且早产患者中双胎、异常胎方位发生率更高。一旦发生脐带脱垂,尤其是有机会存活的胎儿,应以最快的方式娩出胎儿,提高新生儿存活几率。     

孕激素及人绒毛促性腺激素与药物流产后异常子宫出血的关系

目的:分析孕激素和人绒毛膜促性腺激素(h CG)与药物流产后异常子宫出血的关系。方法:选择2017年1月至2017年12月我院妇产科收治的药物终止妊娠的妇女150例,患者口服米非司酮配伍米索前列醇药物终止早期妊娠。将药物流产后子宫出血时间≤14 d作为对照组(n=75),14d作为异常组(n=75)。比较两组患者在药物流产后10 d、14 d、18 d、22 d血清中孕激素和h CG含量,分析两组患者孕激素和h CG含量相关性。结果:两组患者在年龄、月经周期、孕次、受孕天数、体重等方面比较无统计学差异(P0.05)。异常组在药物流产后10 d、14 d、18 d、22 d血清孕激素和h CG含量均高于对照组(P0.05)。两组患者在药物流产后10 d、14 d、18 d、22 d孕激素含量呈先降低再升高的趋势(P0.05)。对照组患者在药物流产后10 d、14 d、18 d、22 d血清hCG含量逐渐降低(P0.05);异常组在药物流产后10 d、14 d血清h CG含量比较无统计学差异(P0.05),在药物流产后18 d、22 d血清hCG含量低于药物流产后10 d、14 d,且药物流产后22 d低于药物流产后18 d(P0.05)。对全部样本的全部时点数据合并进行Pearson相关检验分析,孕激素和h CG含量呈正相关关系(P0.05)。结论:药物流产后异常子宫出血妇女血清的孕激素、hCG含量较高,两者呈正相关关系。药物流产后10 d、14 d监测血清HCG值无明显下降提示有异常子宫出血的可能,联合监测孕激素、hCG含量有利于药物流产后异常子宫出血的预测和治疗。

Double aneuploidy in three Egyptian patients: Down-Turner and Down-Klinefelter syndromes

The co-occurrence of two numerical chromosomal abnormalities in same individual (double aneuploidy) is relatively rare and its clinical presentations are variable depending on the predominating aneuploidy or a combination effect of both. Furthermore, double aneuploidy involving both autosomal and sex chromosomes is seldom described. In this study, we present three patients with double aneuploidy involving chromosome 21 and sex chromosomes. They all had the classical non disjunction trisomy 21; that was associated with monosomy X in two of them and double X in the other. Clinically, they had most of the phenotypic features of Down syndrome as well as variable features characteristic of Turner or Klinefelter syndrome. Cytogenetic studies and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis were carried out for all patients and their parents. The first patient was a male, mosaic with 2 cell lines (45,X/47,XY,+21) by regular banding techniques and had an affected sib with Down syndrome (47,XY,+21). The second was a female, mosaic (46,X,+21/47,XX,+21) where monosomy X was detected only by FISH in 15 percentages of cells, nevertheless, stigmata of Turner syndrome was more obvious in this patient. The third patient had non mosaic double trisomy; Down-Klinefelter (48,XXY,+21) presented with Down syndrome phenotype. Parental karyotypes and FISH studies for these patients were normal with no evidence of mosaicism. In this report, we review the variable clinical presentations among the few reported cases with the same aneuploidy in relation to ours. Also, the proposed mechanisms of double aneuploidy and the occurrence of non-disjunction in more than one family member are discussed. This study emphasizes the importance of molecular cytogenetics studies for more than one tissue in cases with atypical features of characteristic chromosomal aberration syndromes. To our knowledge, this is the first report of double aneuploidy, Down-Turner and Down-Klinefelter syndromes in Egyptian patients.     

Cytogenetic analysis of 750 spontaneous abortions with the direct-preparation method of chorionic villi and its implications for studying genetic causes of pregnancy wastage

Altogether, 750 cases of spontaneous abortion between the fifth and 25th week of gestation were analyzed cytogenetically by the direct-preparation method using chorionic villi. The majority of cases (68%) were derived from early abortions before the 12th week of gestation. The frequency of abnormal karyotypes was 50.1%; trisomy was predominant (62.1%), followed by triploidy (12.4%), monosomy X (10.5%), tetraploidy (9.2%), and structural chromosome anomalies (4.7%). Among trisomies, chromosomes 16 (21.8%), 22 (17.9%), and 21 (10.0%) were prevalent. The frequency of chromosomally abnormal abortions increased with maternal age but only because of an increase of trisomy. Polyploidy and monosomy X, however, decreased. Mean maternal age was significantly increased for trisomies 16, 21, and 22 and was highest for trisomies 18 and 20. The results obtained are within the range of variability reported earlier from tissue culture-type studies. A consistent feature during our study is the excess of females in chromosomally normal abortions (male:female sex ratio 0.71). According to the methodology applied, maternal cell contamination and undetected 46,XX molar samples cannot have influenced the sex ratio. However, a bias introduced by social status or maternal age cannot be excluded. With the more rapid and convenient direct preparation of chorionic villi, reliable cytogenetic data on causes of spontaneous abortions can be obtained.     

X chromosome inactivation and micronuclei in normal and Turner individuals

Studies on aneuploidy have shown that the X is the most frequently lost chromosome in females, and that the number of X chromosome-positive micronuclei increases with age in women. Recently, we showed that the inactive X chromosome is incorporated preferentially in micronuclei. The objectives of the current study were, firstly, to determine the incidence of X chromosome incorporation into micronuclei in males and, secondly, to determine the incidence of X chromosome incorporation into micronuclei of females with Turner syndrome. Blood samples were obtained from 18 male newborns and 35 normal adult males ranging in age from 22 to 79 years and from seven women with non-mosaic Turner syndrome aged 11–39 years. Isolated lymphocytes were cultured in the presence of cytochalasin B and 2000 binucleated cells per subject were scored for micronuclei. Cells were then hybridized with the biotinylated X centromere-specific probe, pBamX7, and visualized with fluorescein-conjugated avidin. All micronucleated cells were relocated and evaluated for the presence or absence of the X chromosome. Of the 335 micronuclei observed, 6.6% (22/335) contained an X chromosome. Analysis of variance shows a statistically significant increase, for both males and Turner females, in the number of X chromosome-positive micronuclei with age (P < 0.001). These data also show that the X chromosome is included in micronuclei from males more often than would be expected by chance (P < 0.005; χ² analysis, 15 df). Here we show that there is a tenfold difference in the frequency of X chromosome-positive micronuclei in 46,XX females compared to 46,XY males and 45,X females, providing further support to our previous finding that the X chromosome in micronuclei is the inactive chromosome.

Interchange trisomy 21 by t(1;21)(p22;q22)mat

Interchange trisomy 21 by t(1:21)(p22:q22)mat: Interchange trisomy 21 by t(1;21)(p22;q22)mat was identified in a sporadic patient with Down syndrome. With a 21q22 specific probe, we observed signals on both normal 21 chromosomes and on the der. We reviewed the 23 published reports of families with reciprocal translocations leading to viable offspring with interchange trisomy 21. The breakpoints in chromosome 21 were mainly located in 21q (19/24 instances, including the present report) and in 19/23 cases the other chromosome involved in the translocation was (pairs 1-12). The underlying 3:1 segregation occurred mainly in carrier mothers; only one patient presented a de novo imbalance and in another case the father was the carrier. In addition, there were 4 instances of concurrence with another unbalanced segregation (adjacent-1 or tertiary trisomy) and 3 families with recurrence of interchange trisomy 21. The mean age of 14 female carriers at birth of interchange trisomy 21 offspring (24.8 yr) was lower that the mean (28.3 yr) found in a larger sample of mothers of unbalanced offspring due to 3:1 segregation (mostly tertiary trisomics) and was not increased with respect to the general population average. Overall, these data agree with previous estimates regarding recurrence risk (9-15%) and abortion rate (about 28%) in female carriers ascertained through an interchange trisomic 21 child.     

Risk of Chromosomal Abnormalities in Early Spontaneous Abortion after Assisted Reproductive Technology: A Meta-Analysis

Background

Studies on the risk of chromosomal abnormalities in early spontaneous abortion after assisted reproductive technology (ART) are relatively controversial and insufficient. Thus, to obtain a more precise evaluation of the risk of embryonic chromosomal abnormalities in first-trimester miscarriage after ART, we performed a meta-analysis of all available case–control studies relating to the cytogenetic analysis of chromosomal abnormalities in first-trimester miscarriage after ART.

Methods

Literature search in the electronic databases MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) based on the established strategy. Meta-regression, subgroup analysis, and Galbraith plots were conducted to explore the sources of heterogeneity.

Results

A total of 15 studies with 1,896 cases and 1,186 controls relevant to the risk of chromosomal abnormalities in first- trimester miscarriage after ART, and 8 studies with 601 cases and 602 controls evaluating frequency of chromosome anomaly for maternal age≥35 versus <35 were eligible for the meta-analysis. No statistical difference was found in risk of chromosomally abnormal miscarriage compared to natural conception and the different types of ART utilized, whereas the risk of fetal aneuploidy significantly increased with maternal age≥35 (OR 2.88, 95% CI: 1.74–4.77).

Conclusions

ART treatment does not present an increased risk for chromosomal abnormalities occurring in a first trimester miscarriage, but incidence of fetal aneuploidy could increase significantly with advancing maternal age.     

Reproduction abnormalities and twin pregnancies in parents of sporadic patients with oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum/Goldenhar syndrome

A great number of case reports on concordant and discordant twins with oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum (OAVS) suggest that there might be an association between reproductive abnormalities, twinning and OAVS. The etiology of OAVS is unknown, but may involve epigenetic dysregulation of the oocyte or early embryo. We collected data on fertility and pregnancy outcome of 72 parents of patients with sporadic OAVS. We also evaluated prospective follow-up data on 3.372 fetuses and children conceived by intracytoplasmatic sperm injection (ICSI). Parental age, duration of menstrual cycle and the incidence of spontaneous abortion was not different when compared to the German population. However, there is an excess of parents who have used assisted reproductive techniques (ART; retrospective P = 0.038, prospective P = 0.023) and an excess of twins among naturally conceived patients with OAVS (P = 0.0025). An excess of ART conceptions and monozygotic twinning in OAVS is compatible with the concept of overripeness ovopathy as proposed by Jongbloet (Maandschr Kindergeneeskd 36:352–367, 1968).     

Successful preimplantation genetic aneuploidy screening in Turkish patients

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis is a preventive approach for identifying genetic abnormalities in early stages of reproduction. We used preimplantation genetic aneuploidy screening in 230 cycles of patients with indications of advanced maternal age, recurrent implantation failure, recurrent spontaneous abortions, or severe male factor. Biopsied blastomeres from embryos with six to eight blastomeres on day 3 were fixed and fluorescence in situ hybridization was utilized on chromosomes 13, 16, 18, 21, 22, X, and Y. Among 945 morphologically normal embryos, 314 were diagnosed as chromosomally normal. Trisomy and monosomy were observed in 36% of the cases (18% each). Embryo transfer was used in 144 cycles, resulting in 41 pregnancies. Thirty-seven healthy babies were delivered, with a take-home baby rate of 24.2% and an implantation rate of 22%. We recommend preimplantation genetic aneuploidy screening as a valuable technique to select normal chromosome embryos in order to avoid multiple pregnancies due to the multiple embryo transfers that are normally necessary to ensure pregnancy in poor prognosis in vitro fertilization patients.     

Alzheimer Aβ Peptide Induces Chromosome Mis-Segregation and Aneuploidy,Including Trisomy 21: Requirement for Tau and APP

Both sporadic and familial Alzheimer''s disease (AD) patients exhibit increased chromosome aneuploidy, particularly trisomy 21, in neurons and other cells. Significantly, trisomy 21/Down syndrome patients develop early onset AD pathology. We investigated the mechanism underlying mosaic chromosome aneuploidy in AD and report that FAD mutations in the Alzheimer Amyloid Precursor Protein gene, APP, induce chromosome mis-segregation and aneuploidy in transgenic mice and in transfected cells. Furthermore, adding synthetic Aβ peptide, the pathogenic product of APP, to cultured cells causes rapid and robust chromosome mis-segregation leading to aneuploid, including trisomy 21, daughters, which is prevented by LiCl addition or Ca²⁺ chelation and is replicated in tau KO cells, implicating GSK-3β, calpain, and Tau-dependent microtubule transport in the aneugenic activity of Aβ. Furthermore, APP KO cells are resistant to the aneugenic activity of Aβ, as they have been shown previously to be resistant to Aβ-induced tau phosphorylation and cell toxicity. These results indicate that Aβ-induced microtubule dysfunction leads to aneuploid neurons and may thereby contribute to the pathogenesis of AD.
