Two cases of trisomy 4 mosaicism are reported including one with molecularly confirmed uniparental disomy (UPD) of chromosome 4. Cytogenetic analysis of a chorionic villus sample (CVS) in Case 1 showed complete trisomy 4 in trophoblast and diploidy in chorionic stroma. Amniotic fluid analysis demons

β¦ Synopsis
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 fetal tissues. This case demonstrates that the mechanism of trisomy correction may result in a fetus with UPD(9).

We report a liveborn infant with severe intrauterine growth retardation and renal failure, delivered following detection of non-mosaic trisomy 2 by chorionic villus biopsy in the first trimester. Detailed analysis post-delivery indicated apparent complete trisomy 2 of the chorionic tissues, with a c
Stable centromeric breakage in nonacrocentric chromosomes and balanced reciprocal translocation mosaicism are both rare events. We studied a family in which the mother had mosaicism for a balanced reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 10 and 16 which was associated with a break in chromosome
We present a case of maternal uniparental heterodisomy for chromosome 2 (UPD 2) detected after trisomy 2 mosaicism was found on placental biopsy. This case presented prenatally with severe intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and oligohydramnios. The diploid newborn had hypospadias and features co
