Abstract
Background: Mosaic trisomy 2 is the detection of two or more cells with the additional chromosome 2 distributed over two or more independent cultures.
Methods: We present 2 new cases of mosaic trisomy 2 detected at amniocentesis with previously unreported clinical features and we review the literature of the clinical manifestations of this uncommon aneuploidy.
Results: Cytogenetic analysis of the amniotic fluid culture showed mosaic trisomy 2 (47,XY,+2[9]; 46,XY[19]) (32%) for case 1, and (47,XY,+2[13]; 46,XY[21]) (38%) for case 2 in two independent flask cultures. Our second case presented a new clinical finding non described previously in mosaic trisomy 2 which is occipital schizencephaly associated with hydrocephalus.
Conclusion: Two new cases of mosaic trisomy 2 were detected at amniocentesis with previously unreported clinical features. Prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal mosaic trisomy 2 continues to create a dilemma in genetic counseling because of limited data and variable outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Fetal and Pediatric Pathology is an established bimonthly international journal that publishes data on diseases of the developing embryo, newborns, children, and adolescents. The journal publishes original and review articles and reportable case reports.
The expanded scope of the journal encompasses molecular basis of genetic disorders; molecular basis of diseases that lead to implantation failures; molecular basis of abnormal placentation; placentology and molecular basis of habitual abortion; intrauterine development and molecular basis of embryonic death; pathogenisis and etiologic factors involved in sudden infant death syndrome; the underlying molecular basis, and pathogenesis of diseases that lead to morbidity and mortality in newborns; prenatal, perinatal, and pediatric diseases and molecular basis of diseases of childhood including solid tumors and tumors of the hematopoietic system; and experimental and molecular pathology.
