Detection of 46, XY Disorder of Sex Development (DSD) Based on Plasma Cell-Free DNA and Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing
Mutations in the HSD17B3 gene cause HSD17B3 deficiency and result in 46, XY Disorders of Sex Development (46, XY DSD). The diagnosis of 46, XY DSD is very challenging and not rarely is confirmed only at older ages, when an affected XY female presents with primary amenorrhea or develops progressive v...

description | Mutations in the HSD17B3 gene cause HSD17B3 deficiency and result in 46, XY Disorders of Sex Development (46, XY DSD). The diagnosis of 46, XY DSD is very challenging and not rarely is confirmed only at older ages, when an affected XY female presents with primary amenorrhea or develops progressive virilization. The patient described in this paper represents a case of discrepancies between non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) and ultrasound based fetal sex determination detected during prenatal screening. Exome sequencing was performed on the cell free fetal DNA (cffDNA), amniotic fluid, and the parents. Libraries were generated according to the manufacturer’s protocols using TruSight One Kits (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA, USA). Sequencing was carried out on NEXT Seq 500 (Illumina) to mean sequencing depth of at least 100×. A panel of sexual disease genes was used in order to search for a causative variant. The finding of a mutation (c.645 A>T, p.Glu215Asp) in HSD17B3 gene in amniotic fluid as well as in cffDNA and both parents supported the hypothesis of the HSD17B3 deficiency. In conclusion, we used clinical exome sequencing and non-invasive prenatal detection, providing a solution for NIPT of a single-gene disorder. Early genetic diagnoses are useful for patients and clinicians, contribute to clinical knowledge of DSD, and are invaluable for genetic counseling of couples contemplating future pregnancies. |
