- Abstract
Preimplantation genetic testing has been used widely in recent years as a part of assisted reproductive technology (ART) owing to the breakthrough development of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing. With the advancement of technology and increased resolution of next generation sequencing (NGS), extensive comprehensive chromosome screening along with small clinically significant deletions and duplications can possibly be performed simultaneously. Here, we present a case of rare chromosomal aberrations: 46,XY,dup(15)(q11.2q13),t(16;18)(q23;p11.2), which resulted in a normally developed adult but abnormal gametes leading to recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). To our best knowledge, this is the first report of t(16;18) translocation with such a small exchanged segment detected by NGS platform of MiSeq system in simultaneous 24-chromosome aneuploidy screening.
