OBJECTIVE: Accumulating evidence suggests that genomic structural variations, particularly copy number variations (CNV), are a common occurrence in humans that may bear phenotypic consequences for living individuals possessing the variant. While precise estimates vary, large-scale karyotypic abnormalities are present in 6-12% of stillbirths (SB). However, due to inherent limitations of conventional cytogenetics, the contribution of genomic aberrations to stillbirth is likely underrepresented. High-resolution copy number variant analysis by genomic array-based profiling may overcome such limitations.
METHODS: Prospectively acquired SB cases > 22 weeks underwent classification of 'unexplained' stillbirth by Wigglesworth and Aberdeen criteria after extensive testing and rigorous multidisciplinary audit. Genome-wide analysis was conducted using high-resolution Illumina single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays (Human CNV370-Duo) on placental and fetal samples. Potential alternate detection methods were completed by one or more of three independent means (quantitative PCR, Illumina1M, or Agilent105K comparative genomic hybridization arrays).
RESULTS: In our cohort of 54 stillbirths, 29 met strict unexplained criteria. Among these, we identified 24 putative novel CNVs. Subsequent interrogation detected 18 of 24 CNVs (75%) in placental samples, 8 of which were also confirmed in available fetal samples; none were present in maternal blood.
CONCLUSION: We describe the potential of whole-genome placental profiling to identify small genomic imbalances, which might contribute to a small proportion of well-characterized, unexplained stillbirths.
