Whole-genome paternal uniparental disomy identified through prenatal single-nucleotide polymorphism-based cell-free DNA screening. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objective Prenatal single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)‐based cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) screening can identify genome‐wide paternal uniparental disomy (GW‐UPDpat), including cases with complete hydatidiform mole with a coexisting fetus (CHMCF), those with placental mesenchymal dysplasia (PMD) and those with a mosaic/chimeric GW‐UPDpat syndrome ...

High Concordance of Copy Number Variants Detected by Chromosomal Microarray and Exome Sequencing in Clinical Diagnostics. [PDF]
To assess the relevance of exome sequencing as a first‐tier diagnostic tool, three aspects were investigated: detection of copy number variants (CNVs) from exomes as compared to chromosomal microarray, clinically‐relevant CNVs across all sizes, and additional diagnostic utilities (uniparental disomy and triploidy).

Widespread triploidy in Western North American aspen (Populus tremuloides). [PDF]
We document high rates of triploidy in aspen (Populus tremuloides) across the western USA (up to 69% of genets), and ask whether the incidence of triploidy across the species range corresponds with latitude, glacial history (as has been documented in ...

Usefulness of combined NGS and QF‐PCR analysis for product of conception karyotyping
Purpose Since chromosomal abnormalities can be detected in more than half of miscarriages, cytogenetic testing of the product of conception (POC) can provide important information when preparing for a subsequent pregnancy. Conventional karyotyping is the

A hydatidiform mole (HM) or molar pregnancy is the most common benign form of gestational trophoblastic disease characterized by a proliferation of the trophoblastic epithelium and villous edema. Hydatidiform moles are classified into two forms: complete

Digynic triploidy in a fetus presenting with semilobar holoprosencephaly
Objective: We present digynic triploidy in a fetus with semilobar holoprosencephaly (HPE). Case report: A 32-year-old, gravid 1, para 0, woman underwent prenatal ultrasound examination at 12 weeks of gestation, and the ultrasound showed relative ...

Array comparative genomic hybridization and flow cytometry analysis of spontaneous abortions and mors in utero samples [PDF]
Background: It is estimated that 10-15% of all clinically recognised pregnancies result in a spontaneous abortion or miscarriage. Previous studies have indicated that in up to 50% of first trimester miscarriages, chromosomal abnormalities can be ...

Molecular and histological characteristics of early triploid and partial molar pregnancies
Molar pregnancy has the highest incidence of all gestational trophoblastic diseases. This is a heterogeneous group of diseases, composed of precancerous lesions and gestational trophoblastic tumours.

Repeated Independent Formation of Triploid Lineages Contributes to Clonal Diversity in Heteronotia binoei Parthenogens. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Parthenogenesis, or all‐female clonal reproduction, is rare among vertebrates. This is often attributed to the selective disadvantages of assumed reduction of genetic diversity in the absence of sex. However, parthenogenetic vertebrates have highly complex evolutionary histories, with most arising through hybridisation and many being polyploid.
