Mol Genet Genomic Med 2023; 11:e2229. [PMID: 37337789 PMCID: PMC10568385 DOI: 10.1002/mgg3.2229] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2022] [Revised: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 06/03/2023] [Indexed: 06/21/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The identification of genetic mosaicism and the genetic counseling needed following its discovery have been challenging problems in the field of prenatal diagnosis. Herein, we describe the clinical phenotypes and various prenatal diagnostic processes used for two rare cases of 9p duplication mosaicism and review the prior literature in the field to evaluate the merits of different methods for diagnosing mosaic 9p duplication. METHODS We recorded ultrasound examinations, reported the screening and diagnosis pathways, and analyzed the mosaic levels of the two cases of 9p duplication using karyotype analysis, chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA), and fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis (FISH). RESULTS Case 1 had a normal clinical phenotype for tetrasomy 9p mosaicism, and Case 2 showed multiple malformations caused by both trisomy 9 and trisomy 9p mosaicism. Both cases were initially suspected after non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPT) based on cell-free DNA. The mosaic ratio of 9p duplication found via karyotyping was lower than what was discovered by CMA and FISH, in both cases. Contrary to previous findings, the mosaic level of trisomy 9 found by karyotype analysis was greater than what was found by CMA, in terms of complex mosaicism involving trisomy 9 and trisomy 9p, in Case 2. CONCLUSION NIPT can indicate 9p duplication mosaicism during prenatal screening. Different strengths and limitations existed in terms of diagnosing mosaic 9p duplication by karyotype analysis, CMA, and FISH. The combined use of various methods may be capable of more accurately determining break-points and mosaic levels of 9p duplication during prenatal diagnosis.

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.

Cases of tetrasomy 9p and trisomy 9p in prenatal diagnosis—Analysis of noninvasive and invasive test results. Front Genet 2022; 13:994455. [PMID: 36226175 PMCID: PMC9548563 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2022.994455] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2022] [Accepted: 09/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: Tetrasomy 9p and trisomy 9p are rare chromosomal aberrations. The phenotypes of tetrasomy 9p and trisomy 9p are variable. Most cases are diagnosed in the postnatal period. The study aims to analyze the prenatal phenotype of tetrasomy 9p and trisomy 9p in terms of ultrasound and screening tests. Methods: A set of 1573 prenatal tests performed from 2016 to 2021 was reviewed to identify all cases with trisomy 9p and tetrasomy 9p. In four cases with 9p gain, non-invasive and invasive test results were analyzed. Results: Four cases with the 9p gain were diagnosed in the prenatal period: two cases with tetrasomy 9p and two cases with trisomy 9p. Nasal bone hypoplasia and ventriculomegaly are common features of 9p gain. In two out of four cases with the 9p gain, an increased risk of trisomy 21 was found in the combined first-trimester screening test. Conclusion: Trisomy 9p and tetrasomy 9p are characterized by a variable phenotype in the prenatal period, manifesting in genetically abnormal fetuses. The tetrasomy 9p and trisomy 9p may suggest trisomy 21 in the first trimester.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We present a false-positive result at non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) due to maternal 17p12 microduplication. CASE REPORT A 37-year-old, gravida 2, para 1, woman underwent amniocentesis at 19 weeks of gestation because of advanced maternal age. Amniocentesis revealed a karyotype of 46,XY. Simultaneous array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) revealed the result of a 1.3-Mb duplication of 17p12 or arr [GRCh37] 17p12 (14,111,772-15,442,066) × 3 encompassing four Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) genes of COX10, HS3ST3B1, PMP22 and TEKT3. The mother did not have any neurologic problems. The parents were phenotypically normal. aCGH analysis of maternal blood revealed that the mother carried the same 17p12 microduplication. Two years ago, NIPT analysis during her first pregnancy revealed abnormality of chromosome 17 with 17p11.2p12 duplication. However, subsequent aCGH analysis at amniocentesis revealed no genomic imbalance in the fetus, and no further examination of the parental bloods was made. During this pregnancy, prenatal ultrasound was unremarkable, and the parents decided to continue the pregnancy. CONCLUSION A false-positive result at NIPT should raise a suspicion of maternal genomic imbalance.
