Karyotypically normal fetuses with completely trisomic or mosaic placentae may be at increased risk for intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Molecular and cytogenetic analyses on nine pregnancies with confined placental mosaicism (CPM) for trisomy 2 were performed at two collaborating centres. Se

In a pregnancy that was monitored due to increased risk for Down syndrome in the triple test, a normal karyotype was found in amniocentesis. Follow-up by serial ultrasound examinations revealed intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) at 20 weeks of gestation. The parents decided to terminate the preg
We describe the first case of maternal uniparental disomy (UPD) of chromosome 9 in a fetus who was shown to have mosaic trisomy 9 in a chorionic villus sample. Karyotyping and molecular studies following termination of the pregnancy confirmed mosaicism in the placenta and maternal UPD(9) in the feta
