Abstract
Objective: This study was aimed to identify a rare complex rearrangement and assist prenatal counseling.
Method: Mate-pair sequencing (MPseq) combined with karyotypes, copy number variants sequencing and whole exome sequencing was used to provide accurate chromosome breakpoints and assist prenatal diagnosis for a mentally retarded pregnant woman.
Result: MPseq indicated a complex rearrangement involved 25 breakpoints and fusions, disrupting 6 genes. Among which, ZMIZ1 was associated with neurodevelopmental disorders with dysmorphic facies and distal skeletal abnormalities, which was consistent with the phenotype of pregnant women.
Conclusion: MPseq was a cost-effective and accurate method that could be used as a complementary tool for human genetic diagnosis and prenatal counseling.
