OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the feasibility of molecular prenatal diagnosis in families with mitochondrial trifunctional protein (TFP) mutations and prospectively study the effects of fetal genotype on pregnancy outcome. TFP catalyzes the last 3 steps in mitochondrial long-chain fatty acid oxidation.
STUDY DESIGN: We performed molecular prenatal diagnosis in 9 pregnancies, 8 in 6 families with isolated long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase (LCHAD) deficiency and one in a family with complete TFP deficiency. Analyses were performed on chorionic villous samples in 7 pregnancies and on amniocytes in 2.
RESULTS: Molecular prenatal diagnosis successfully identified the fetal genotype in all 9 pregnancies. Two fetuses were affected, and both pregnancies were terminated by family decision. Two other fetuses had normal genotype and 5 others were heterozygotes. These 7 pregnancies were uncomplicated, and all the offspring are alive and apparently healthy. Genotypes of the aborted fetuses and neonates were confirmed by molecular analysis and enzymatic assays.
CONCLUSIONS: Molecular prenatal diagnosis is possible and valid in guiding management of pregnancies in families with known TFP defects. Women heterozygous for TFP alpha-subunit mutations who carry fetuses with wild-type or heterozygous genotypes have uncomplicated pregnancies.
