Low-level mosaic trisomy 17 at amniocentesis in a pregnancy associated with a favorable fetal outcome and cytogenetic discrepancy between cultured and uncultured amniocytes

Objective: We present low-level mosaic trisomy 17 at amniocentesis in a pregnancy associated with a favorable fetal outcome and cytogenetic discrepancy between cultured and uncultured amniocytes. Case report: A 32-year-old, primigravid woman underwent amniocentesis at 18 weeks of gestation because o...

description Objective: We present low-level mosaic trisomy 17 at amniocentesis in a pregnancy associated with a favorable fetal outcome and cytogenetic discrepancy between cultured and uncultured amniocytes. Case report: A 32-year-old, primigravid woman underwent amniocentesis at 18 weeks of gestation because of an increased nuchal translucency thickness of 3 mm in the first trimester sonographic screening. Amniocentesis revealed a karyotype of 47,XX,+17 [2]/46,XX [20]. Among 22 colonies of cultured amniocytes, two colonies had a karyotype of 47,XX,+17, whereas the rest 20 colonies had a karyotype of 46,XX. Simultaneous array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) on the DNA extracted from uncultured amniocytes revealed arr (1–22,X) × 2 with no genomic imbalance. Prenatal ultrasound and parental karyotypes were normal. Quantitative fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) analysis on the DNA extracted from the parental bloods and cultured amniocytes excluded uniparental disomy (UPD) 17. The woman was encouraged to continue the pregnancy. A normal 3178-g female baby was delivered at 38 weeks of gestation without any phenotypic abnormalities. The karyotypes of cord blood, umbilical cord and placenta were all 46, XX (40/40 cells). When follow-up at age six months, the neonate was normal in physical and psychosomatic development. Conclusion: Low-level mosaic trisomy 17 at amniocentesis can be a transient and benign condition, and can be associated with a favorable fetal outcome and cytogenetic discrepancy between cultured and uncultured amniocytes.
