  • Title: Mosaic distal 13q duplication due to mosaic unbalanced translocation of 46,XY,der(14)t(13;14)(q32.2;p13)/46,XY at amniocentesis in a pregnancy associated with a favorable fetal outcome, perinatal progressive decrease of the aneuploid cell line and cytogenetic discrepancy between cultured amniocytes and uncultured amniocytes.

    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: We present mosaic distal 13q duplication due to mosaic unbalanced translocation 46,XY,der(14)t(13;14)(q32.2;p13)/46,XY at amniocentesis in a pregnancy associated with a favorable fetal outcome. CASE REPORT: A 37-year-old, gravida 2, para 0, woman underwent amniocentesis at 17 weeks of gestation because of advanced maternal age. Amniocentesis revealed a karyotype of 46,XY, add(14) (p13)[17]/46,XY[13] (56.6% mosaicism). Array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis on the DNA extracted from cultured amniocytes revealed arr 13q32.2q34 × 2∼3, consistent with 45% mosaicism for distal 13q duplication. Repeat amniocentesis at 24 weeks of gestation revealed a karyotype of 46,XY,der(14)t(13;14)(q32.2;p13)[14]/46,XY[16] (46.6% mosaicism). The parental karyotypes were normal. aCGH analysis on the DNA extracted from uncultured amniocytes revealed arr 13q32.2q34 × 2.38, consistent with 30-40% mosaicism for distal 13q duplication. Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis on uncultured amniocytes detected 22.8% (23/101 cells) mosaicism for distal 13q duplication. Prenatal ultrasound findings were unremarkable. At 39 weeks of gestation, a 3616-g phenotypically normal baby was delivered. The karyotypes of cord blood, umbilical cord and placenta were 46,XY,der(14)t(13;14)(q32.2;p13)[20]/46,XY[20] (50% mosaicism), 46,XY,der(14)t(13;14)(q32.2;p13)[14]/46,XY[26] (35% mosaicism) and 46,XY (40/40 cells) (0% mosaicism), respectively. When follow-ups at the age of 4½ months and the age of one year, the peripheral blood had the karyotype of 46,XY,der(14)t(13;14)(q32.2;p13)[18]/46,XY[22] (45% mosaicism). Interphase FISH analysis on buccal mucosal cells at the age of 4½ months revealed 2.7% (3/110 cells) mosaicism for distal 13q duplication, compared with 1% (1/100 cells) in the normal control. The neonate was normal in phenotype and development. CONCLUSIONS: Mosaic unbalanced translocation at amniocentesis can be associated with a favorable fetal outcome, perinatal progressive decrease of the aneuploid cell line and cytogenetic discrepancy between cultured amniocytes and uncultured amniocytes.
