To carry out preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) for a Chinese pedigree affected with Rett syndrome (RTT).
A pedigree affected with RTT who had presented at the First Hospital of Jilin University on June 4, 2021 was selected as the study subject. Variant of the MECP2 gene was analyzed by next generation sequencing (NGS) and Sanger sequencing. Direct sequencing was also used to determine the carrier status for the c.925C>T variant of the MECP2 gene in the blastocysts, and Sanger sequencing was used to validate the results. The MECP2 gene and 168 effective single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci within 2 Mb ranges up- and downstream of the gene were used to construct a haplotype for analyzing the variant site in the embryos, and embryos without the variant were subjected to the analysis for chromosomal aneuploidies.
PGT analysis revealed that five out of seven blastocysts did not harbor the pathogenic variant. The results of aneuploidy analysis indicated that two out of five blastocysts without the variant
