Cross PK. Schreinemachers DM. (1983) 45 4.8%

Carriers of balanced structural chromosomal abnormalities Have a greater chance of being infertile, producing chromosomally abnormal offspring and having multiple spontaneous abortions Incidence 0.2% in neonatal population Higher incidence (Stern et al., 1999) Infertile couples (0.6%) RA couples (9.2%) ICSI population (2-3.2%)

Drawback of FISH - based PGD FISH technique related limitations Development of a patient specific protocol = time consuming Fixation of the cell: critical step (possible loss of micronuclei, chromosomes) Subjective analysis of the signals and compromised by weak, splitted or overlapping signals Only chromosomes involved in rearrangement are investigated Development of genome-wide techniques Comparative Genomic hybridization (a-cgh; micro-array)

acgh Reliability and feasibility demonstrated for detection of chromosomal imbalances in embryos (Gutiérrez- Mateo et al., 2011; Colls et al., 2012) In comparison with FISH: - Not dependent of critical step of cell fixation - Evaluating multiple loci along the length of each chromosome region - Data analysis performed by computerized analysis of signal intensities (based on a log 2 ratio and quality criteria (SD, signal-to-noise ratio)) instead of subjective signal scoring In the future: automated workstations - increase of number of samples - reduces the risk of errors

acgh: Allows screening for all chromosomes in addition to the unbalanced derivatives associated with the specific structural abnormality No development of a patient specific probe-mixture and preclinical validation - Detection limits: the probability of detecting an unbalanced translocation, and therefore the success of the array-cgh based analysis, is dependent upon the location of the translocation breakpoints in the chromosomes and the size of the unbalanced region(s) Limitations: - acgh cannot detect haploidy and some triploidies (69,XXX) - cannot differentiate normal versus balanced translocation carrier acgh represents at this time an expensive option for embryo testing compared to the FISH technology

History of PGD 1990: Handyside et al.: first PGD for X-linked disease 1992: Handyside et al.: baby after PGD for Cystic Fibrosis Pregnancies from biopsied human preimplantation embryos sexed by Y- specific DNA amplification A. H. Handyside, E. H. Kontogianni, K. Hardy & R. M. L. Winston Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Royal Postgraduate Medical School, Hammersmith Hospital, Du Cane Road, London W12 ONN, UK OVER 200 recessive X chromosome-linked diseases, typically affecting only hemizygous males, have been identified. In many of these, prenatal diagnosis is possible by chorion villus sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis, followed by cytogenetic, biochemical or molecular analysis of the cells recovered from the conceptus. In others, the only alternative is to determine the sex of the fetus. If the fetus is affected by the defect or is male, abortion can be offered. Diagnosis of genetic defects in preimplantation embryos would allow those unaffected to be identified and transferred to the uterus 1. Here we report the first established pregnancies using this procedure, in two couples known to be at risk of transmitting adrenoleukodystrophy and X- linked mental retardation. Two female embryos were transferred after in vitro fertilization (IVF), biopsy of a single cell at the six- to eight-cell stage, and sexing by DNA amplification of a Y chromosome-specific repeat sequence. Both women are confirmed as carrying normal female twins. 4 titel 20-5-2014

Introduction Screening for trisomy 21 Ultrasound PAPP-A/combination test (1T) Triple Test (2T) Invasive prenatal diagnosis Chorion villi sampling Amniotic fluid punction

Screening for trisomy 21 Ultrasound 1st trimester: nuchal translucency (NT) ductus venosus (DV) tricuspidalis valve (TV) 2nd trimester: soft markers sensitivity max 70%

Screening for trisomy 21 NT

Screening for trisomy 21 DV

Screening for trisomy 21 TV

Screening for trisomy 21 PAPP-A/combination test 1st trimester US + biochemical markers in maternal bloed (ßhCG and PAPP-A)

Screening for trisomy 21 PAPP-A/combination test 1st trimester echo + biochemical markers in maternal blood (ßhCG and PAPP-A) Combined risk calculation for Down Cutoff 1/250 Sensitivity 80-85% 5% false positive

Screening for trisomy 21 TT AFP, ßhCG and oestriol

Screenen naar trisomie 21 TT AFP, ßhCG and oestriol Second trimester soft-markers NF, ventriculomegaly Femur, humerus Echogene focus Dense intestines Pyelectasy SUA

Screening for trisomy 21

Invasive screening for trisomy 21 Chorionic Villi Sampling (11-13w) Punction of amniotic fluid (>15w)

Screening for trisomy 21 Conventional karyotyping Molecular karyotyping

Screening for trisomy 21: non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) NIPT: cell-free fetal DNA (cffdna) in maternal plasma shedding of trophoblast cells short half life (2 h clearance) 3% to 20% of total cfdna reliable detection from 11-12 weeks on

Indications for NIPT Combination test with higher risk Previous pregnacy with trisomy 21 35 years or older Psycho social Other

Contra-indications Dizygotic twin or multiple pregnancy Prior blood transfusion, stem cell therapy, immuno therapy, transplantation Chromosomal abberations Preferably combination test

Limitations Mozaicism Small abberations of chromosome 21 Monogenic disorder Obesitas Ultrasound abnormalities

Practical 1 st trimester US 11-12w ao abnormalities abnormalities Counseling options Option1: combination test Option 2: NIPT high risk low risk: US 20w Option3: PND CVS (11-13w) AF (>15w) Nl: US 20w higher risk

Future Current reporting : trisomy 21, 18, 13, gender Future reporting: Other chromosomes Small chromosomal abberations Monogenic disorders? Reimbursment

Future

Conclusion NIPT is an intermediate screening test currently mainly for trisomy 21, 18 and 13 risk calculation: HIGH or EQUAL or LOW high sensitivity and specificity (false pos. rate 1%) Preferentially for high-risk pregnancies Confirmation of abnormal result by invasive test array CGH on chorion villi or amniotic fluid Evolution towards diagnostic test in the future
