Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the value of single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP array) technology in the prenatal diagnosis. The variants in Xp22.31q27.1 region of 13 fetuses were analyzed by SNP array technology. Chromosome karyotype analysis was also performed for these fetuses and their parents. Chromosome karyotype analysis found no obvious chromosomal abnormality at 400 bands resolution. Using SNP array technology, we found that all fetuses had mutations in Xp22.31q27.1 region, which was mainly Xp22.31 lesion (61.5%, 8/13) that contained 2 to 5 OMIM genes. Moreover, these mutations consisted of 7 cases of repetition and 6 cases of deletion. In addition, 9 variants were inherited from their mothers, 3 mutations were inherited from the father, and 1 variant was de novo. Compared to traditional analysis of chromosome karyotype, SNP-array technology can detect more chromosomal microdeletions and microduplications. SNP-array technology can act as a supplementary diagnostic method in clinical cytogenetic diagnosis.
