Abstract:

Objective

To assess the value of high-throughput sequencing technology in the observation of chromosomal abnormalities in the villus samples of women with missed abortions and identify the risk factors for missed abortion.

Methods

The clinical data of 105 missed abortion women (observation group) admitted to Suzhou Hospital of Anhui Medical University from July 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Meanwhile, 105 normal pregnant women who were healthy during physical examination during the same period were included as a control group. Patients in the observation group underwent uterine evacuation or drug abortion at our hospital, and villus samples were collected to perform traditional karyotyping and high-throughput sequencing tests. The test results were then compared statistically between the two groups. In addition, basic information [age, area of residence, history of miscarriage, body mass index (BMI), smoking, drinking, radiation exposure, physical exercise, folic acid supplementation, estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) gene polymorphism] was compared between the two groups, and variables with statistical significance were incorporated into multivariate Logistic regression analysis to identify the risk factors for missed abortion.

Results

In the high-throughput sequencing test, 105 cases successfully completed the test, of which 38.10% (40/105) had normal karyotypes, 49.52% (52/105) had abnormal numbers, and 12.38% (13/105) had abnormal structures. In the traditional karyotype analysis, 7 (6.67%) cases failed to be tested due to culture failure, and 98 cases successfully completed the test, of which 45.92% (45/98) had normal karyotypes, 50.00% (49/98) had abnormal numbers, and 4.08% (4/98) had abnormal structures. The detection rate of structural abnormalities by high-throughput sequencing technology was 12.38%, which was significantly higher than that of traditional karyotype analysis (4.08%, P<0.05). Age (more than 35 years old), smoking, drinking, radiation exposure, ERα gene PvuⅡ polymorphism PP and Pp genotypes differed significantly between the two groups (P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis confirmed that age ≥35 years old, smoking, drinking, radiation exposure, and ERα gene PvuⅡ polymorphism PP and Pp genotypes were risk factors for missed abortion (P<0.05).

Conclusion

The incidence of missed abortion is affected by many factors, such as age, smoking, drinking, radiation exposure, and ERα gene PvuⅡ polymorphism, and high-throughput sequencing technology can detect small fragments, which can provide assistance for the detection of villus chromosome abnormalities in women with missed abortion.
