✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Amniocentesis was performed on a 39‐year‐old gravida 4 woman because of maternal age. Ultrasonography demonstrated a twin pregnancy, and two amniotic fluid specimens were obtained under direct ultrasound guidance. All cells analyzed from the first specimen were 46,XX. In the second specimen, one colony in each of two flasks had trisomy 9; the remaining 3 colonies analyzed were 46, XX. The total cell count in the second specimen was 14 (24%) of 58 cells which were trisomic for chromosome 9. The parents elected to continue the pregnancy, which resulted in two live‐born infants, a male and a female, both chromosomally normal. The most likely explanation for the amniotic fluid finding is that fluid from one sac was sampled twice and that trisomic cells from the amnion were obtained during the second tap.

True chromosomal mosaicism of double trisomy (48,XX,+7,+20) was detected in amniotic fluid cell cultures at 16 and 20 weeks of gestation. No aneuploid cells were found in chorionic villus samples (CVS) by semidirect preparation and long-term culture. High-level ultrasound did not indicate any struct

We report here a case of true fetal mosaicism for both trisomy 15 and monosomy-X; the aberrant cell lines were initially detected at amniocentesis as low-level mosaicism (trisomy 15) and multiple-cell pseudo-mosaicism (monosomy-X). In the fetal lymphocytes, only metaphases with a normal chromosome c

## Abstract Cells from human amniotic fluid derived from the fetus are considered a source of multipotent cells. Their properties have not been fully exploited, partially because unlike other embryonic sources such as embryonic stem (ES) cells, cell lines from amniocentesis samples have not been ge
