This retrospective analysis examined the types and characteristics of sex chromosomal abnormalities in 186 fetuses in Fujian Province, China. The study found various abnormalities, such as Turner syndrome, triple X syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, and XYY syndrome, as well as mosaic variants and large-scale deletions/duplications. The use of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array analysis was shown to be important for prenatal diagnosis of sex chromosomal abnormalities.
Sex chromosomal abnormalities are associated with multiple defects. However, the types of sex chromosomal abnormalities during pregnancy in Fujian Province, China, are not recorded. In this retrospective analysis, we showed the sex chromosomal abnormalities of 186 fetuses, including 162 cases of X chromosomal abnormalities and 22 cases of Y chromosomal abnormalities in Fujian Province. We detected 73 cases of Turner syndrome, 24 cases of triple X syndrome, 37 cases of Klinefelter syndrome, and 14 cases of XYY syndrome. It was observed that 67.3% fetuses with classic Turner syndrome had their growth arrested. Moreover, we found 21 cases of mosaic Turner syndrome, 3 cases of mosaic Triple X syndrome, 2 cases of mosaic Klinefelter syndrome, and 1 case of mosaic XYY syndrome. Furthermore, 37 cases of large scales of sex chromosomal deletions/duplications were detected, including 30 cases of X chromosomal deletions/duplications and 7 cases of Y chromosomal deletions/duplications. Parent-of-origins of five cases of sex chromosomal deletions/duplications were determined. One case was with de novo X chromosomal variations, while the sex chromosomal deletions/duplications in other four cases were inherited from their parents. Overall, our results presented a detailed manifestation of sex chromosomal abnormalities of 186 fetuses in Fujian Province and suggested the important roles of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array analysis in the prenatal diagnosis of sex chromosomal abnormalities. Also, determining the parent-of-origins of the deletions/duplications was critical for the prenatal diagnosis of sex chromosomal abnormalities.
