Abstract
OBJECTIVE We present mosaic tetrasomy 9p at amniocentesis in a pregnancy associated with a favorable fetal outcome, perinatal progressive decrease of the aneuploid cell line and cytogenetic discrepancy in various tissue. CASE REPORT A 33-year-old primigravid woman underwent elective amniocentesis at 18 weeks of gestation because of anxiety, and the karyotype of cultured amniocytes was 47,XX,+i (9) (p10)[20]/46,XX [55]. Cordocentesis was performed at 20 weeks of gestation, and the karyotype of cord blood was 47,XX,+i (9) (p10)[7]/46,XX [15]. She was referred for genetic counseling at 23 weeks of gestation, and repeat amniocentesis revealed a karyotype of 47,XX,+i (9) (p10)[1]/46,XX [16] with seven cells in one colony having tetrasomy 9p in cultured amniocytes, and in uncultured amniocytes, quantitative fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) analysis excluded uniparental disomy (UPD) 9 and determined paternal origin of the extra i (9p), array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis on the DNA extracted from uncultured amniocytes revealed arr 9p24.3p13.1 × 3.0 consistent with 50% mosaicism for tetrasomy 9p, and interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) on uncultured amniocytes showed 22.6% (12/53 cells) mosaicism for tetrasomy 9p. A third amniocentesis at 27 weeks of gestation revealed a karyotype of 46, XX (10/10 colonies) in cultured amniocytes, and interphase FISH analysis on uncultured amniocytes revealed 20% (20/100 cells) mosaicism for tetrasomy 9p. The parental karyotypes and prenatal ultrasound were normal. At 39 weeks of gestation, a phenotypically normal 3388-g female baby was delivered. The karyotypes of cord blood, umbilical cord and placenta were 47,XX,+idic (9) (q12)[19]/46,XX [21] or 47,XX,+idic (9) (pter→q12:q12→pter)[19]/46,XX [21], 47,XX,+idic (9) (q12)[1]/46,XX [39] and 47,XX,+idic (9) (q12)[4]/46,XX [36], respectively. When follow-up at age two months, the neonate was phenotypically normal, the peripheral blood had a karyotype of 47,XX,+idic (9) (q12)[18]/46,XX [22], and interphase FISH analysis on 100 buccal mucosal cells revealed 1% (1/100 cells) mosaicism for tetrasomy 9p. When follow-up at age seven months, the neonate was phenotypically normal, and the peripheral blood had a karyotype of 47,XX,+idic(9)(q12)[14]/46,XX[26]. CONCLUSION Mosaic tetrasomy 9p at amniocentesis can be a transient and benign condition, and can be associated with a favorable fetal outcome and perinatal progressive decrease of the aneuploid cell line and cytogenetic discrepancy in various tissue.

Abstract
Tetrasomy 9p is a rare syndrome characterized by fetal growth restriction, Dandy-Walker malformation, cardiac anomalies, and facial abnormalities and is discovered by ultrasound during the prenatal examination. Herein, we report a fetus of tetrasomy 9p without obvious phenotypic manifestations during the first trimester that was identified by non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). NIPT revealed that the gain of 9p24.3–9p11 that was approximately 46.36 Mb in size. Karyotyping of amniocytes indicated an additional marker in all metaphase. Chromosome microarray and fluorescence in situ hybridization on uncultured amniocytes revealed tetrasomic of 9p24.3q13, and that the supernumerary chromosome is a dicentric isochromosome consisted of two copies of the 9p arm. Taken together, it was indicated that the fetal karyotype was 47,XY,+idic (9) (q13), and that multiple techniques are crucial to the prenatal diagnosis.

Front Genet 2022; 13:876887. [PMID: 35651933 PMCID: PMC9150818 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2022.876887] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2022] [Accepted: 03/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Chromosomal mosaicism (CM) is a common biological phenomenon observed in humans. It is one of the main challenges in prenatal diagnosis due to uncertain outcomes, especially when fetal ultrasonographic features appear normal. This study aimed to assess the phenotypic features of CM detected during prenatal diagnosis and the risk factors affecting parents’ pregnancy decisions. Materials and methods: A retrospective cohort study involving 18,374 consecutive pregnancies that underwent prenatal diagnosis by karyotyping, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), or chromosome microarray analysis (CMA) was conducted. The association of risk factors with malformations detected by ultrasound and pregnancy outcomes was assessed using the chi-square test and binary logistic regression. Discordant results between the different methods were identified and further analyzed. Results: During this five-year period, 118 (0.6%) patients were diagnosed with CM. The incidences of CM in the chorionic villus, amniotic fluid, and umbilical cord blood were 3.2, 0.5, and 0.7%, respectively. The frequency of ultrasound malformations in individuals with a high fraction of autosomal CM was significantly higher than that in other groups (62.5% vs. 21.4–33.3%, all p <0.05). Inconsistent results between karyotyping and CMA/FISH were observed in 23 cases (19.5%). The risk of pregnancy termination in cases with ultrasound malformations, consistent results, autosomal CM, or a high CM fraction increased with an odds ratio of 3.09, 8.35, 2.30, and 7.62 (all p <0.05). Multiple regression analysis revealed that all four factors were independent risk factors for the termination of pregnancy. Conclusion: Patients with a high fraction of autosomal CM are more likely to have ultrasound malformations. Inconsistent results between different methods in CM are not rare. Ultrasound malformations, consistent results between different methods, autosomal CM, and a high CM fraction were independent risk factors for the choice to terminate pregnancies.

First Case Report of Maternal Mosaic Tetrasomy 9p Incidentally Detected on Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing. Genes (Basel) 2021; 12:genes12030370. [PMID: 33807602 PMCID: PMC7998520 DOI: 10.3390/genes12030370] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2021] [Revised: 02/23/2021] [Accepted: 03/01/2021] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Tetrasomy 9p (ORPHA:3390) is a rare syndrome, hallmarked by growth retardation; psychomotor delay; mild to moderate intellectual disability; and a spectrum of skeletal, cardiac, renal and urogenital defects. Here we present a Chinese female with good past health who conceived her pregnancy naturally. Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) showed multiple chromosomal aberrations were consistently detected in two sampling times, which included elevation in DNA from chromosome 9p. Amniocentesis was performed and sent for chromosomal microarray, which was normal. Maternal karyotype revealed that mos 47,XX,+dic(9;9)(q21.1;q21.1)(24)/46,XX(9) presents mosaic tetrasomy for the short arm of chromosome 9p and is related to the NIPT results showing elevation in DNA from chromosome 9p. The pregnancy was uneventful, and the patient was delivered at term. Maternal samples were obtained at two different time points after delivery showed the same multiple chromosomal aberrations detected during pregnancy. This is a first report on an unusual case of mosaic isodicentric tetrasomy 9p in a healthy adult with normal intellect. With widespread adoption of NIPT for screening fetal aneuploidy and genome-wide copy number changes, a rise in incidental detection of maternal rare genetic syndrome will bring challenges in our current approach to genetic counselling and prenatal diagnosis.
