The study analyzed 32,067 ES trios to identify whole-chromosome and segmental UPD events, with some associated with imprinting disorders and positive test results through homozygous sequence variants.
Purpose Data on the clinical prevalence and spectrum of uniparental disomy (UPD) remain limited. Trio exome sequencing (ES) presents a comprehensive method for detection of UPD alongside sequence and copy-number variant analysis. Methods We analyzed 32,067 ES trios referred for diagnostic testing to create a profile of UPD events and their disease associations. ES single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and copy-number data were used to identify both whole-chromosome and segmental UPD and to categorize whole-chromosome results as isodisomy, heterodisomy, or mixed. Results Ninety-nine whole-chromosome and 13 segmental UPD events were identified. Of these, 29 were associated with an imprinting disorder, and 16 were associated with a positive test result through homozygous sequence variants. Isodisomy was more commonly observed in large chromosomes along with a higher rate of homozygous pathogenic variants, while heterodisomy was more frequent in chromosomes associated with imprinting or trisomy mosaicism (14, 15, 16, 20, 22). Conclusion Whole-chromosome UPD was observed in 0.31% of cases, resulting in a diagnostic finding in 0.14%. Only three UPD-positive cases had a diagnostic finding unrelated to the UPD. Thirteen UPD events were identified in cases with prior normal SNP chromosomal microarray results, demonstrating the additional diagnostic value of UPD detection by trio ES.
