## Abstract Chromosomal mosaicism was found in 38 of 4,000 chorionic villus samples examined from 1998 to 2003. A small fraction of these (5/38) were confirmed as true mosaics by analysis of amniotic fluid. Twentyβnine cases that fit the definition of confined placental mosaicism were followed with
In our case, the absence of phenotypic abnormalities indicates that the supernumerary genes present in this de novo marker do not include those which are responsible for the high pathogenicity of chromosome 16 trisomy. It would be of interest to identify the loci present in this marker. This might h
