Abstract
Objective
We present low-level mosaic trisomy at amniocentesis in a pregnancy associated with cytogenetic discrepancy between cultured amniocytes and uncultured amniocytes, perinatal progressive decrease of the trisomy 7 cell line and a favorable fetal outcome.
Case Report
A 40-year-old, primigravid woman underwent amniocentesis at 16 weeks of gestation because of advanced maternal age. Amniocentesis revealed a karyotype of 46,XY in cultured amniocytes. Simultaneous array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis on the DNA extracted from uncultured amniocytes revealed the result of arr (7) × 2–3, (X,Y) × 1, consistent with 24% mosaicism for trisomy 7. Polymorphic DNA marker analysis on the DNA extracted from the uncultured amniocytes and parental bloods excluded uniparental disomy (UPD) 7. Prenatal ultrasound findings were normal. She was referred for genetic counseling at 19 weeks of gestation. No repeat amniocentesis was suggested, and continuing the pregnancy was advised. At 22 weeks of gestation, the result of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1)/placental growth factor (PlGF) = 6.1 (normal < 38). She did not have preeclampsia. At 39 weeks of gestation, a 3346-g male baby was delivered without any phenotypic abnormality. aCGH analysis on the DNA extracted from cord blood and placenta revealed the result of arr (1–22) × 2, (X,Y) × 1 with no genomic imbalance in all tissues. When follow-up at age three months, the baby was normal in development and phenotype. The peripheral blood had a karyotype of 46,XY, and interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis using the bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) probes of chromosome 7 showed disomy 7 cells in all 102/102 cells.
Conclusion
Low-level mosaic trisomy 7 at amniocentesis can be associated with cytogenetic discrepancy between cultured amniocytes and uncultured amniocytes, perinatal progressive decrease of the trisomy 7 cell line and a favorable fetal outcome.
