该回顾性研究纳入40例32周前诊断的孤立性严重胎儿生长受限单胎妊娠,评估核型分析与染色体微阵列(CMA)的诊断率,部分病例行外显子/基因组测序。CMA诊断2/39(5.1%),致病性CNV涉及SHOX基因及母源UPD6,10%病例检出≥1个>10Mb的纯合区域(AOH)。

要点

  • 32周前孤立性严重FGR中CMA诊断率为5.1%(2/39)。
  • 10%病例检出>10Mb的AOH,提示需进一步研究其与FGR的关联。
  • 核型分析(27/40)均正常,测序(N=10)仅检出1例COL1A1的VUS。

核心结论

  • CMA在早发型孤立性严重FGR中诊断率为2/39(5.1%),检出致病性CNV涉及SHOX基因及母源UPD6,均与FGR一致。
  • AOH发生率高达10%,需进一步研究其是否为FGR的 contributing factor。

研究设计与样本

  • 回顾性研究纳入2022-2025年分娩的单胎妊娠,胎估体重或腹围<第3百分位且孕周<32周,无超声结构异常,行羊膜腔穿刺或脐血诊断性检测(核型、CMA、ES或GS)。
  • 排除游离DNA异常病例,共40例,平均诊断孕周26.8周;羊膜腔穿刺占42%,脐血占58%。

主要发现

  • 核型分析(27/40)均正常。
  • CMA(39/40)检出1例致病性CNV(2.5%)和3例(7.5%)意义不明变异(VUS)。
  • 4例(10%)检出≥1个>10Mb的AOH区域,其中1例为6号染色体母源单亲二体。
  • 测序(N=10)检出1例COL1A1的VUS。
  • 所有病例均未观察到急性病毒感染。

关键数值与推荐

  • CMA诊断2/39(5.1%):1例致病性CNV涉及SHOX基因,1例母源UPD6。
  • VUS检出3/39(7.5%),AOH(>10Mb)检出4/40(10%)。

临床怎么用

  • 对32周前诊断的孤立性严重FGR,CMA可作为一线遗传学检测手段。
  • 检出AOH时需考虑单亲二体可能,并咨询进一步胎盘研究和基因组测序的必要性。

局限性

  • 回顾性设计,样本量较小(40例),测序仅10例。
  • AOH与FGR的因果关系未明确,需进一步研究。

OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the diagnostic yield of karyotype (KT) and chromosomal microarray (CMA) with isolated severe FGR diagnosed before 32 weeks' gestation. Exome and genome sequencing (ES/GS) level data were available in a subset of this population. METHOD: We performed a retrospective review of singleton pregnancies (delivered 2022-2025) with estimated fetal weight or abdominal circumference < 3rd percentile before 32 weeks' gestation, no sonographic structural anomalies, and diagnostic testing (KT, CMA, ES, or GS) via amniocentesis or cord blood. Cases with abnormal cell-free DNA were excluded. RESULTS: Forty cases were included (mean diagnosis 26.8 weeks). Testing was performed via amniocentesis in 42% and cord blood in 58%. All KT (27/40) were normal. CMA (39/40) identified one pathogenic CNV (2.5%) and three (7.5%) variants of uncertain significance (VUS). Four (10%) showed ≥ 1 region of absence of heterozygosity (AOH) > 10Mb; one revealed maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 6. Sequencing (N = 10) detected one VUS in COL1A1. Acute viral infection was not observed in any of the cases. CONCLUSIONS: CMA was diagnostic in 2/39 (5.1%) cases, a pathogenic CNV implicating the SHOX gene, and maternal UPD 6, which were consistent with FGR. There was a remarkable rate (10%) of AOH. Further investigation, including placental studies and genome sequencing, may elucidate whether AOH is a contributing factor for FGR.
