Abstract
BACKGROUND The discrepancy between the results of cytogenetics and the results of chromosome microarray analysis (CMA) has often led to confusion over genetic counselling for prenatal diagnosis. CASE PRESENTATION The prenatal ultrasound results of a congenital heart defect (CHD) foetus displayed an apartial endocardial pad defect and permanently dilated coronary sinus and left superior vena cava at 21 weeks of gestation. Cytogenetic analysis, CMA, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) with foetal cord blood samples were used to detect the genetic aetiology. Routine G-binding cytogenetic analysis showed normal karyotypes in both the foetus' and parents' blood samples. CMA results demonstrated that there were 53.973-Mb recurrent CNVs at Xp22.33-p11.22, as confirmed by MLPA assay. CONCLUSIONS Herein, we described the CNV of six duplications at Xp22.33-p11.22 and the 53.973 Mb duplication CNV that was not found in foetal cord blood samples by conventional cytogenetic methods, and it was confirmed by CMA and MLPA. Our novel findings will provide helpful information for prenatal diagnosis and genetic counselling for foetal CHDs.

Abstract
RATIONALE Uniparental disomy (UPD) gives a description of the inheritance of both homologues of a chromosome pair from the same parent. The consequences of UPD depend on the specific chromosome/segment involved and its parental origin. PATIENT CONCERNS We report prenatal phenotypes of 2 rare cases of UPD. DIAGNOSES The prenatal phenotype of case 1 included sonographic markers such as enlarged nuchal translucency (NT), absent nasal bone, short femur and humerus length, and several structural malformations involving Dandy-Walker malformation and congenital heart defects. The prenatal phenotype of Case 2 are sonographic markers, including enlarged NT, thickened nuchal fold, ascites, and polyhydramnios without apparent structural malformations. INTERVENTIONS Conventional G-band karyotype appears normal in case 1, while it shows normal chromosomes with a small supernumerary marker chromosome (sSMC) in case 2. Genetic etiology was left unknown until single-nucleotide polymorphism-based array (SNP-array) was performed, and segmental paternal UPD 22 was identified in case 1 and segmental paternal UPD 14 was found in case 2. OUTCOMES The parents of case 1 chose termination of pregnancy. The neonate of case 2 was born prematurely with a bellshaped small thorax and died within a day. LESSONS UPD cases are rare and the phenotypes are different, which depend on the origin and affected chromosomal part. If a fetus shows multiple anomalies that cannot be attributed to a common aneuploidy or a genetic syndrome, or manifests some features possibly related to an UPD syndrome, such as detection of sSMC, SNP-array should be considered.
