《胎儿与父母基因组揭示早期流产机制》

对经历早期流产的 母亲-父亲-胎儿 三人组 的基因组分析,揭示了染色体异常和潜在遗传变异的影响。

每一次活产都是在克服重重困难的情况下发生的,因为在人类繁殖过程中,许多事情都可能—而且经常—出错。自然流产在人类中非常常见,影响了大约15%的临床认可的妊娠,还有相当一部分在临床认可之前就已经流产。尽管存在这种普遍性和几种已知的早期流产原因,但许多流产仍然无法解释,这加剧了父母的痛苦,并阻碍了对未来怀孕的准确风险评估。Arnadottir 等人在《自然》杂志上发表了一项关于早期妊娠丢失的全面基因组研究。他们对数百个流产的胎儿基因组以及父母基因组进行了测序,并在大约55%的病例中确定了可能的遗传原因,说明了遗传在生殖和早期发育过程中可能出错的许多方式

Fig. 1 | Sequencing overview and fetal presence in pregnancy loss samples. a, Flowchart of the study. b, The gestational ages of fetal samples. The gestational age was estimated as the time difference from the last menstruation to the date of pregnancy loss. c, The paternal fraction of fetal samples. The paternal fraction is shown for intervals of gestational age estimated on the basis of the last menstruation (GA–LM): weeks 0–9, weeks 9–12 and weeks 12–22. dKinship between fetal and parental samples. There are 26 (11 pregnancy loss cases) and 93 (59 pregnancy loss cases) fetal samples that had higher than expected kinship with their father and mother, respectively. Furthermore, there are 27 (11 pregnancy loss cases) and 42 (19 pregnancy loss cases) fetal samples from paternal and maternal triploidies, respectively.

Fig. 2 | Maternal triploidy example. a, Schematic of meiosis II error. Meiosis I error is shown in Extended Data Fig. 1. b, Maternal crossovers at chromosome 2 for a triploid fetus. The phase-informative sequence variants in the fetal genome are informative about transitions between the homologous chromosome and sister chromatid states along the genome. The phase-informative variants are limited to heterozygous (0/1) variants in the mother (1 is the HS allele). In the homologous state, the maternal variants are always present in the fetal genome (0/0/1), as both of the maternal haplotypes are present. In the sister state, the maternal variants are either absent (0/0/0) or have an allelic balance of 2/3 (0/1/1).
