Abstract

diagnosis tests, karyotyping is still the golden standard, however recent development of other bio-molecular techniques also provided the possibility to early diagnose and detect syndromes such as Down, Patau, Edwards, or defects in sex-determination chromosome after 24-48 hours. Particularly, Prenatal BoBs technique can diagnose 9 popular chromosomal micro-deletion syndromes causing serious symptoms among children, which other techniques still have limited detecting capability. Objective: Evaluate the result of Prenatal BoBs technique in prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal micro-deletion syndromes. Subject - Methodology: Prenatal BoBs testing was applied to amniocentesis samples of 16-27 week of gestation with high risk of chromosomal abnormality in Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital from 05/2016 – 12/2022 to identify cases of fetal chromosomal micro-deletion/duplication syndromes. Result: Prenatal BoBs was able to identify 39 cases of fetal chromosomal micro-deletion/duplication syndromes. Among these cases include 21 cases of 22q11.2 deletion, 3 cases of 5p15 deletion, 1 case of 4p16.3 deletion, 1 case of 15q11-12 deletion, 1 case of 17p11.2 deletion, 7 cases of 22q11.2 duplication and 5 cases of others duplication. Conclusion: Prenatal BoBs is a genetic test capable of providing highly accurate results in a rather short time (48h), which able to early diagnose abnormality of 9 popular chromosomal micro-deletion syndromes, especially DiGeorge syndrome.
