An Interesting Prenatal Diagnosis: Double Aneuploidy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Double aneuploidy, the existence of two chromosomal abnormalities in the same individual, is a rare condition. Early diagnosis of this condition is important to offer termination of pregnancy in genetic counselling. Cytogenetic analysis with amniocentesis and ultrasound examination is valuable for diagnosis of double aneuploidy. In this report we present a case with the karyotype of 48XXY+21 diagnosed prenatally.

Initial clinical laboratory experience in noninvasive prenatal testing for fetal aneuploidy from maternal plasma DNA samples
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to report the experience of noninvasive prenatal DNA testing using massively parallel sequencing in an accredited clinical laboratory. METHODS Laboratory information was examined for blood samples received for testing between February and November 2012 for chromosome 21 (Chr21), Chr18, and Chr13. Monosomy X (MX) testing was available from July 2012 for cysti...

Background: The aim of this study was to compare noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) of cell‐free DNA in maternal blood and amniocentesis in the diagnosis of aneuploidy. This study was designed to evaluate sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of NIPT for detection of aneuploidies compared gold standard test of amniocentesis. Materials and m...

متن کاملNon-invasive aneuploidy detection using free fetal DNA and RNA in maternal plasma: recent progress and future possibilities.
BACKGROUND Cell-free fetal DNA (cff DNA) and RNA can be detected in maternal plasma and used for non-invasive prenatal diagnostics. Recent technical advances have led to a drastic change in the clinical applicability and potential uses of free fetal DNA and RNA. This review summarizes the latest clinical developments in non-invasive prenatal diagnosis in the context of the latest technical deve...
متن کامل[Future of prenatal cytogenetic studies: rapid aneuploidy testing or full karyotype].
The traditional "gold standard" for prenatal diagnosis of chromosome abnormalities involves analysis of banded chromosomes obtained from cultured amniotic fluid or chorionic villus cells. Most studies are performed because of increased risk of aneuploidy of chromosomes 13, 18 and 21. It constitute 65-85% of all chromosome aberrations diagnosed prenataly. At present more rapid (in 1-3 days) meth...
