ObjectiveChromosomal abnormalities such as aneuploidy have been shown to be responsible for causing spontaneous abortion. Genetic evaluation of abortions is currently underperformed. Screening for aneuploidy in the products of conception can help determine the etiology. We designed a high-throughput ligation-dependent probe amplification (HLPA) assay to examine aneuploidy of 24 chromosomes in miscarriage tissues and aimed to validate the performance of this technique.MethodsWe carried out aneuploidy screening in 98 fetal tissue samples collected from female subjects with singleton pregnancies who experienced spontaneous abortion. The mean maternal age was 31.6years (range: 24-43), and the mean gestational age was 10.2weeks (range: 4.6-14.1). HLPA was performed in parallel with array comparative genomic hybridization, which is the gold standard for aneuploidy detection in clinical practices. The results from the two platforms were compared.ResultsForty-nine out of ninety-eight samples were found to be aneuploid. HLPA showed concordance with array comparative genomic hybridization in diagnosing aneuploidy.ConclusionHigh-throughput ligation-dependent probe amplification is a rapid and accurate method for aneuploidy detection. It can be used as a cost-effective screening procedure in clinical spontaneous abortions. (c) 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
