The genetic variants were identified using ACMG guidelines, and PGT was employed to prevent the inheritance of these variants. The study included haplotype analysis and Sanger sequencing to confirm the results.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study identified previously unreported variations in the ASS1 gene causing citrullinemia type 1. PGT successfully prevented the transmission of these variants, resulting in the birth of a healthy fetus. However, challenges such as allele dropout (ADO) and gene recombination were encountered during haplotype analysis, which could potentially defeat the diagnosis. The study demonstrated that combining haplotype analysis with Sanger sequencing can enhance the accuracy of PGT.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) targeting likely pathogenic and pathogenic variants in the ASS1 gene, as rated by ACMG, allows the birth of healthy infants free from citrullinemia type 1. Additionally, the establishment of single haplotypes and Sanger sequencing can reduce the misdiagnosis rate caused by allele dropout (ADO) and genetic recombination.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fgene.2024.1389461","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,8]],"date-time":"2024-08-08T04:59:24Z","timestamp":1723093164000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Using preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disease for preventing citrullinemia type 1 transmission"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Zubo","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tao","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yi","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaofang","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Defeng","family":"Shu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"505","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jmoldx.2015.04.004","article-title":"Risk of misdiagnosis due to allele dropout and false-positive PCR artifacts in molecular diagnostics: analysis of 30,769 genotypes","volume":"17","author":"Blais","year":"2015","journal-title":"J.
