Simultaneous detection of genomic imbalance in patients receiving preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic diseases (PGT-M).

ABSTRACT: Background: Preimplantation genetic test for monogenic disorders (PGT-M) has been used to select genetic disease-free embryos for implantation during in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. However, embryos tested by PGT-M have risks of harboring chromosomal aneuploidy. Hence, a universal method to detect monogenic diseases and genomic imbalances is required. Methods: Here, we report a novel PGT-A/M procedure allowing simultaneous detection of monogenic diseases and genomic imbalances in one experiment. Library was prepared in a special way that multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was integrated into the process of whole genome amplification. The resulting library was used for one-step low-pass whole genome sequencing (WGS) and high-depth target enrichment sequencing (TES). Results: The TAGs-seq PGT-A/M was first validated with genomic DNA (gDNA) and the multiple displacement amplification (MDA) products of a cell line. Over 90% of sequencing reads covered the whole-genome region with around 0.3-0.4 × depth, while around 5.4%-7.3% of reads covered target genes with >10000 × depth. Then, for clinical validation, 54 embryos from 8 women receiving PGT-M of β-thalassemia were tested by the TAGs-seq PGT-A/M. In each embryo, an average of 20.0 million reads with 0.3 × depth of the whole-genome region was analyzed for genomic imbalance, while an average of 0.9 million reads with 11260.0 × depth of the target gene HBB were analyzed for β-thalassemia. Eventually, 18 embryos were identified with genomic imbalance with 81.1% consistency to karyomapping results. 10 embryos contained β-thalassemia with 100% consistency to conventional PGT-M method. Conclusion: TAGs-seq PGT-A/M simultaneously detected genomic imbalance and monogenic disease in embryos without dramatic increase of sequencing data output.

Project description:In different species, embryonic aneuploidies and genome-wide errors are a major cause of developmental failure. The increasing number of equine embryos being produced worldwide provides the opportunity to characterize and rank or select embryos based on their genetic profile prior to transfer. Here, we explored the possibility of generic, genome-wide preimplantation genetic testing concurrently for aneuploidies (PGT-A) and monogenic (PGT-M) traits and diseases in the horse, meanwhile assessing the incidence and spectrum of chromosomal and genome-wide errors in in vitro-produced equine embryos. To this end, over 70,000 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) positions were genotyped in 14 trophectoderm biopsies and corresponding biopsied blastocysts, and in 26 individual blastomeres from six arrested cleavage-stage embryos. Subsequently, concurrent genome-wide copy number detection and haplotyping by haplarithmisis was performed and the presence of aneuploidies and genome-wide errors and the inherited parental haplotypes for four common disease-associated genes with high carrier frequency in different horse breeds (GBE1, PLOD1, B3GALNT2, MUTYH), and for one color coat-associated gene (STX17) were compared in biopsy-blastocyst combinations. The euploid (n = 12) or fully aneuploid (n = 2) state and the inherited parental haplotypes for 42/45 loci of interest of the biopsied blastocysts were predicted by the biopsy samples in all successfully analyzed biopsy-blastocyst combinations (n = 9). Two biopsies showed a loss of maternal chromosome 28 and 31, respectively, which were confirmed in the corresponding blastocysts. In one of those biopsies, additional complex aneuploidies not present in the blastocyst were found. Five out of six arrested embryos contained chromosomal and/or genome-wide errors in most of their blastomeres, demonstrating their contribution to equine embryonic arrest in vitro. The application of the described PGT strategy would allow to select equine embryos devoid of genetic errors and pathogenetic variants, and with the variants of interest, which will improve foaling rate and horse quality. We believe this approach will be a gamechanger in horse breeding.
