## 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 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
Trisomy 16 is frequently found confined to the placenta (confined placental mosaicism (CPM)), with a structurally normal fetus. In some cases of trisomy 16, the fetus has uniparental disomy for chromosome 16 (UPD16) which is associated with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and fetal anomalies.
