PG - 495-499 LID - 10.3760/cma.j.cn511374-20220409-00237 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic basis for a Fra(16)(q22)/FRA16B fragile site in a female with secondary infertility. METHODS: The 28-year-old patient was admitted to Chengdu Women's and Children's Central Hospital on October 5, 2021 due to secondary infertility. Peripheral blood sample was collected for G-banded karyotyping analysis, single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP-array), quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assays. RESULTS: The patient was found to harbor 5 mosaic karyotypes involving chromosome 16 in a total of 126 cells, which yielded a karyotype of mos 46,XX,Fra(16)(q22)[42]/46,XX,del(16)(q22)[4]/47,XX,del(16),+chtb(16)(q22-qter)[4]/46,XX,tr(16)(q22)[2]/46,XX[71]. No obvious abnormality was found by SNP-array, QF-PCR and FISH analysis. CONCLUSION: A female patient with FRA16B was identified by genetic testing. Above finding has enabled genetic counseling of this patient.
