Trisomy 15 mosaicism in an IVF fetus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Prenatal diagnosis of an IVF pregnancy in a woman aged 41 years showed a fetus mosaic for trisomy 15. The fetus had dysmorphic features, hypoplastic adrenal glands, and an accessory spleen. Both IVF and advanced maternal age would seem to increase the risk of trisomy 15.

Evaluation of triploid↔diploid and trisomy-3↔diploid mouse chimeras as models for investigating how lineage restriction occurs in confined placental mosaicism
Human confined placental mosaicism (CPM), where the placental trophoblast is mosaic for a chromosome abnormality but the fetus is chromosomally normal, can cause problems for prenatal diagnosis, but its causes are poorly understood. Tetraploid<-->diploid chimeras provide a model for the development of one type of CPM, but animal models for other types of restricted mosaicism are needed. The obj...
متن کاملFalse Negative Cell-Free DNA Screening Result in a Newborn with Trisomy 13
Background. Noninvasive prenatal screening (NIPS) is revolutionizing prenatal screening as a result of its increased sensitivity, specificity. NIPS analyzes cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) circulating in maternal plasma to detect fetal chromosome abnormalities. However, cffDNA originates from apoptotic placental trophoblast; therefore cffDNA is not always representative of the fetus. Although the ...
متن کاملPrenatal detection of Turner's syndrome in conjunction with trisomy 20 mosaicism (45,X/46, X, +0).
A case of Turner's syndrome, detected antenatally and complicated by the finding of trisomy 20 mosaicism in 50% of cells from each of two amniotic fluid cultures, is described. Cultures from seven fetal tissues in the subsequent abortus showed a predominance of 45,X cells, but nevertheless suggested the existence of a very low level of trisomy 20 mosaicism in three fetal tissues. The diagnostic...
متن کاملConfined placental mosaicism.
In most pregnancies the chromosomal complement detected in the fetus is also present in the placenta. The detection of an identical chromosomal complement in both the fetus and its placenta has always been expected as both develop from the same zygote. However, in approximately 2% of viable pregnancies studied by chorionic villus sampling (CVS) at 9 to 11 weeks of gestation, the cytogenetic abn...
متن کاملClinical aspects, prenatal diagnosis, and pathogenesis of trisomy 16 mosaicism.
INTRODUCTION Analysis of data from cases of trisomy mosaicism can provide insight for genetic counselling after prenatal diagnosis and for the elucidation of the pathogenesis of trisomy during pregnancy. METHODS Statistical analysis was carried out on data from 162 cases of pregnancies with prenatal diagnosis of trisomy 16 mosaicism. RESULTS The majority of cases resulted in live birth (66%...
