Production of DNA libraries for preimplantation genetic testing of aneuploidies using whole-genome amplification based on multiple-strand displacement amplification

Abstract

Background. Multiple strand displacement amplification (MDA) is the preferred method for whole genome amplification (WGA) in preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) for monogenic diseases (PGT-M).
Objective. To investigate the potential of using MDA-based WGA products for aneuploidy analysis with next-generation sequencing (NGS).
Methods. WGA products from two human blastocyst samples were analyzed using NGS. The WGA process was performed using the REPLi-g Mini Kit (Qiagen), and DNA libraries were generated using the SyntEra-DNA Reagent Kit (Syntol). Bioinformatics analysis was carried out using the Genomenal software (Novel Software Systems).
Results. Based on aCGH and NGS results, molecular karyotypes were generated for blastocysts, which were consistent with minor discrepancies.
Conclusions. The PGA product, obtained using MDA, can be successfully analyzed using NGS, allowing for the use of a single amplicon for both PGT-A and PGT-M applications.
