Abstract
OBJECTIVE We present low-level mosaic trisomy 21 at amniocentesis in a pregnancy with a favorable fetal outcome. CASE REPORT A 38-year-old, gravida 2, para 1, woman underwent amniocentesis at 17 weeks of gestation because of advanced maternal age. Amniocentesis revealed a karyotype of 47,XY,+21[4]/46,XY[34]. Prenatal ultrasound findings were normal. At 27 weeks of gestation, she was referred for genetic counseling, and the cultured amniocytes had a karyotype of 47,XY,+21[2]/46,XY[26]. Quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) analysis on the DNA extracted from uncultured amniocytes and parental bloods excluded uniparental disomy (UPD) 21. Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis on uncultured amniocytes revealed 30% (30/100 cells) mosaicism for trisomy 21. Array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis on the DNA extracted from uncultured amniocytes revealed the result of arr 21q11.2q22.3 × 2.25, consistent with 20%-30% mosaicism for trisomy 21. The parental karyotypes were normal. The woman was advised to continue the pregnancy, and a 3510-g phenotypically normal male baby was delivered at 39 weeks of gestation. Cytogenetic analysis of the cord blood, umbilical cord and placenta revealed the karyotypes of 47,XY,+21[1]/46,XY[39], 47,XY,+21[2]/46,XY[38] and 46,XY in 40/40 cells, respectively. When follow-up at age 1 year and 2 months, the neonate was normal in phenotype and development. The peripheral blood had a karyotype of 46,XY in 40/40 cells, and interphase FISH analysis on uncultured buccal mucosal cells showed 6.4% (7/109 cells) mosaicism for trisomy 21. CONCLUSION Low-level mosaic trisomy 21 at amniocentesis can be associated with cytogenetic discrepancy between cultured amniocytes and uncultured amniocytes, perinatal progressive decrease of the trisomy 21 cell line and a favorable fetal outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We present low-level mosaic trisomy 21 at amniocentesis and cordocentesis in a pregnancy associated with a favorable fetal outcome. CASE REPORT A 26-year-old, primigravid woman underwent amniocentesis at 17 weeks of gestation because of positive non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for trisomy 21 at 16 weeks of gestation. Amniocentesis revealed a karyotype of 47,XX,+21[3]/46,XX[17], and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) on uncultured amniocytes revealed rsa X(P095) × 2, (13, 18, 21) × 2. She underwent cordocentesis (cord blood sampling) at 21 weeks of gestation which revealed a karyotype of 47,XX,+21[2]/46,XX[48]. At 27 weeks of gestation, she was referred to our hospital for genetic counseling, and repeat amniocentesis revealed a karyotype of 46,XX in 20/20 colonies. Quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) analysis on the DNA extracted from uncultured amniocytes and parental bloods excluded uniparental disomy (UPD) 21. Array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis on the DNA extracted from uncultured amniocytes revealed arr (1-22,X) × 2, Y × 0 with no genomic imbalance. Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis on 104 uncultured amniocytes detected one cell (1/104 = 0.9%) with trisomy 21, while the rest cells were disomy 21, compared with 0% (0/100) in the normal control. The woman was encouraged to continue the pregnancy. The pregnancy was carried to 38 weeks of gestation, and a 2771-g female baby was delivered no phenotypic abnormality. aCGH analysis on the cord blood showed arr (1-22,X) × 2, Y × 0 with no genomic imbalance. The umbilical cord had a karyotype of 47,XX,+21[3]/46,XX[37]. The placenta had a karyotype of 46,XX. When follow-up at age 3½ months, the neonate was phenotypically normal and had normal development. The peripheral blood had a karyotype of 46,XX in 40/40 cells. Interphase FISH analysis on buccal mucosal cells detected normal disomy 21 cells in 100/100 cells. CONCLUSION Low-level mosaic trisomy 21 at amniocentesis and cordocentesis in the second trimester can be associated with perinatal progressive decrease of the trisomy 21 cell line and a favorable fetal outcome.

[PMID: 38007414 PMCID: PMC10675863 DOI: 10.1186/s12884-023-06108-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Accepted: 11/04/2023] [Indexed: 11/27/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Abnormal foetal tissue chromosome karyotypes are one of the important pathogenic factors for spontaneous abortion (SA). To investigate the age and abnormal foetal karyotypes of 1903 couples who experienced SA. METHODS A retrospective multicentre study collected age and foetal tissue karyotypes CNV-seq data of 1903 SA couples from 6 hospitals in 5 regions from January 2017 to March 2022. The distribution and correlation of abnormal foetal tissue karyotypes were evaluated by using regions and age. RESULTS In our study, 1140 couples (60.5% of the total) had abnormal foetal tissue chromosome karyotypes in all regions. We found that there were differences in the number of abnormal foetal tissue chromosome karyotypes, of which the incidence of trisomy was higher. At the same time, the populations situated in the eastern region had a more triploid (15.5%) distribution, trisomy (58.1%) in the southern region, mosaicism (14.8%) and microduplication (31.7%) in the southwestern region, microdeletion (16.7%) in the northern region. There are variances across areas, and it is more common in the north. The incidence risk of prenatal chromosomal abnormalities varied according to age group. CONCLUSION The findings of this study suggest that the karyotypes of patients with abnormal foetal tissue chromosome abortion in different regions were different. Meanwhile, patients ≥ 35 years old had a higher risk of abnormal foetal tissue chromosome abortion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We present high-level mosaic trisomy 21 at amniocentesis in a pregnancy associated with positive non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for trisomy 21, prenatal progressive decrease of the trisomy 21 cell line, acute fatty liver of pregnancy and intrauterine fetal death (IUFD) in late gestation. CASE REPORT A 32-year-old, primigravid woman underwent amniocentesis at 17 weeks of gestation because of positive NIPT for trisomy 21 at 12 weeks of gestation. This pregnancy was conceived by in vitro fertilization. She did not have obesity, diabetes mellitus, hepatic biliary disorders and preeclampsia. Amniocentesis revealed a karyotype of 47,XY,+21[10]/46,XY[11], and array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis on uncultured amniocytes revealed the result of arr (21) × 2-3. She was referred for genetic counseling, and repeat amniocentesis performed at 21 weeks of gestation revealed the karyotype of 47,XY,+21[10]/46,XY[28]. The parental karyotypes and fetal ultrasound findings were normal. Simultaneous molecular analysis on uncultured amniocytes showed no uniparental disomy 21, but a maternal origin of trisomy 21 by quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) and the result of arr 21q11.2q22.3 × 2.5 by aCGH analysis. At 27 weeks of gestation, she underwent a third amniocentesis, of which conventional cytogenetic analysis revealed the result of 47,XY,+21[5]/46,XY[17] in cultured amniocytes, and aCGH analysis revealed arr 21q11.2q22.3 × 2.48, and interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis revealed 39% (39/100 cells) mosaicism fro trisomy 21 in uncultured amniocytes. At 36 weeks of gestation, the woman suffered from a sudden onset of acute fatty liver and IUFD. A 3522-g male baby was delivered without Down syndrome phenotype. The umbilical cord had a karyotype of 47,XY,+21[10]/46,XY[30]. aCGH analysis on the skin and placenta showed arr 21q11.2q22.3 × 2.73 and arr 21q11.2q22.3 × 2.75, respectively. QF-PCR analysis of umbilical cord, placenta and skin showed a maternal origin of trisomy 21. CONCLUSION High-level mosaic trisomy 21 at amniocentesis can be associated with prenatal progressive decrease of the trisomy 21 cell line in cultured amniocytes and perinatal fetal mortality and maternal morbidity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We present low-level mosaic trisomy 9 at amniocentesis associated with a positive non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for trisomy 9, maternal uniparental disomy (UPD) 9, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and a favorable fetal outcome in a pregnancy. CASE REPORT A 41-year-old, gravida 3, para 0, woman underwent amniocentesis at 18 weeks of gestation because of NIPT at 10 weeks of gestation suspicious of trisomy 9 in the fetus. This pregnancy was conceived by in vitro fertilization (IVF). Amniocentesis revealed a karyotype of 47,XY,+9 [2]/46,XY[23]. Simultaneous array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis on the DNA extracted from uncultured amniocytes revealed arr (1-22) × 2, (X,Y) × 1 and detected no genomic imbalance. Polymorphic DNA marker analysis showed maternal uniparental heterodisomy 9 in the amniocytes. Prenatal ultrasound was normal. The woman was referred for genetic counseling at 22 weeks of gestation. The soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase (sFlt)/placental growth factor (PlGF) = 13.1 (normal < 38). There was no gestational hypertension. Continuing the pregnancy was advised. No repeat amniocentesis was performed because of persistent irregular contractions. IUGR was noted. A 2156-g phenotypically normal baby was delivered at 37 weeks of gestation. The cord blood and umbilical cord had a karyotype of 46,XY (40/40 cells). The placenta had a karyotype of 47,XY,+9 (40/40 cells). The parental karyotypes were normal. Quantitative fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) on the DNA extracted from parental bloods, cord blood, umbilical cord and placenta revealed maternal uniparental heterodisomy 9 in cord blood and umbilical cord, and trisomy 9 of maternal origin in placenta. When follow-up at age three months, the neonate was normal in development and phenotype. The buccal mucosal cells had 3% (3/101 cells) mosaicism for trisomy 9 by interphase fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis. CONCLUSION Mosaic trisomy 9 at prenatal diagnosis should alert the possibility of UPD 9 and include a UPD 9 testing. Low-level mosaic trisomy 9 at amniocentesis can be associated with UPD 9 and a favorable fetal outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We present mosaic trisomy 21 at amniocentesis in a twin pregnancy associated with a favorable fetal outcome, maternal uniparental disomy (UPD) 21 and postnatal decrease of the trisomy 21 cell line. CASE REPORT A 36-year-old woman underwent elective amniocentesis at 16 weeks of gestation because of advanced maternal age, and an abnormal non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) result suggesting trisomy 21. Amniocentesis revealed the karyotype of 46, XX in co-twin A and the karyotype of 47,XY,+21[12]/46,XY[21] in co-twin B in the cultured amniocytes by in situ culture method. Simultaneous array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis on uncultured amniocytes revealed the result of arr (21) × 3 [0.40] in co-twin B, consistent with 40% mosaicism for trisomy 21. Prenatal ultrasound was unremarkable, and the parental karyotypes were normal. Following genetic counseling, the parents decided to continue the pregnancy. At 36 weeks of gestation, a 2140-g female co-twin A and a 1800-g male co-twin B were delivered without any phenotypical abnormality. The karyotypes of the umbilical cord and placenta of co-twin B were 47,XY,+21[16]/46,XY[24] and 47,XY,+21 (40/40 cells), respectively. Quantitative fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) analysis on the DNA extracted from parental bloods and umbilical cord, cord blood and placenta and peripheral blood at age five months of co-twin B confirmed a maternal origin of trisomy 21 and maternal uniparental isodisomy 21. aCGH analysis on the cord blood revealed the result of arr 21q11.2q22.3 × 2.25 consistent with 20%-25% (log2 ratio = 0.15-0.2) mosaicism for trisomy 21. When follow-up at age five months, the co-twin B was phenotypically normal. His peripheral blood had a karyotype of 47,XY,+21[3]/46,XY[37]. Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) on 100 buccal mucosal cells detected no trisomy 21 signals. The peripheral blood had uniparental isodisomy 21. CONCLUSION Mosaic trisomy 21 at amniocentesis can be a transient and benign condition and should alert the possibility of UPD 21. The abnormal trisomy 21 cell line in mosaic trisomy 21 at amniocentesis may decrease and disappear after birth.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We present mosaic trisomy 21 at amniocentesis associated with a favorable fetal outcome and perinatal progressive decrease of the trisomy 21 cell line. CASE REPORT A 33-year-old woman underwent elective amniocentesis at 17 weeks of gestation because of anxiety, and the karyotype of cultured amniocytes was 47,XX,+21[4]/46,XX[13]. In 17 colonies of cultured amniocytes, four colonies had 47,XX,+21, while the other 13 colonies had 46,XX. Simultaneous array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis on uncultured amniocytes revealed the result of arr (21) × 3 [0.32] consistent with 32% mosaicism for trisomy 21. Repeat amniocentesis performed at 25 weeks of gestation revealed 47,XX,+21[4]/46,XX[24] with four colonies of 47,XX,+21 and 24 colonies of 46, XX on cultured amniocytes, and arr 21q11.2q22.3 × 2.25 by aCGH, 19.2% mosaicism for trisomy 21 (20/104 cells) by interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and no uniparental disomy (UPD) 21 by quantitative fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) on uncultured amniocytes. The parental karyotypes were normal, and prenatal ultrasound was unremarkable. A phenotypically normal 2815-g female baby was delivered at 38 weeks of gestation. Cytogenetic analysis on the cord blood, umbilical cord and placenta revealed the karyotype of 47,XX,+21[10]/46,XX[30]. 47,XX,+21[5]/46,XX[35] and 47,XX,+21[38]/46,XX[2], respectively. QF-PCR analysis on the DNA extracted from parental bloods, uncultured amniocytes, cord blood, umbilical cord and placenta confirmed a paternal origin of trisomy 21. When follow-up at age two months, the neonate was phenotypically normal, the peripheral blood had a karyotype of 47,XX,+21[6]/46,XX[34], and no trisomy 21 signals by interphase FISH was found on 100 buccal mucosal cells. When follow-up at age 13 months, the neonate was phenotypically normal, and the peripheral blood had a karyotype of 47,XX,+21[3]/46,XX[37]. CONCLUSION Mosaic trisomy 21 at amniocentesis can be a transient and benign condition, and the abnormal trisomy 21 cell line may decrease and disappear after birth.
