Sex Chromatin

The present study is part of a sex-chromatin survey in a mental hospital. It has been made as a preliminary step in finding the prevalence and incidence of sex-chromosome abnormalities among patients with mental illness; and it also has the purpose of studying the psychopathological and genetic aspects of sex-chromosome abnormalities. The study comprises all clinically hypogonadal patients referred by the psychiatrists at this hospital to the cytogenic laboratory during a period of approximately 1 month. In a survey of this kind we can expect to find patients with certain abnormalities of the sex chromosomes.

<b><i>Objective:</i></b> This study was designed to investigate the efficiency of noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for screening fetal sex chromosome aneuploidies (SCAs) through sequencing of cell-free DNA in maternal plasma. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This is a retrospective study on the positive NIPT results for SCAs collected from our hospital between January 2012 and December 2018. Samples with positive NIPT results for SCAs were then confirmed by prenatal or postnatal karyotyping analysis. <b><i>Results:</i></b> After cytogenetic analysis, abnormal karyotypes were confirmed in 104 cases and the overall positive predictive value (PPV) of NIPT for SCAs was 43.40% (102/235). The most frequently detected karyotypes included 47,XXY (<i>n</i> = 42), 47,XXX (<i>n</i> = 20), 47,XYY (<i>n</i> = 16), and 45,X (<i>n</i> = 2). Meanwhile, 10 cases were confirmed with mosaic karyotype 45,X/46,XX and 14 cases with numerical or structural chromosome abnormalities, including a double trisomy 48,XXX,+18. Cytogenetic results from the other 131 cases showed normal XX or XY, which were discordant with NIPT results. Upon analysis of parental karyotypes, 29 (12.34%) showed false positivity in NIPT results that were caused by maternal sex chromosome abnormalities. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> NIPT is an effective screening tool for SCA with a PPV of 43.40%. Maternal karyotype abnormalities occurred in 12.34% of the cases with abnormal NIPT. Diagnostic testing of the fetus and the mother are recommended.
