β¦ Synopsis
We report on a case of generalized mosaicism for trisomy 22. At chorionic villus sampling (CVS) in the 37th week of pregnancy, a 47,XX,+22 karyotype was detected in all cells. The indication for CVS was severe unexplained symmetrical intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and a ventricular septal defect (VSD) was noted. In cultured cells from amniotic fluid taken simultaneously, only two out of ten clones were trisomic. At term: a growth-retarded girl with mild dysmorphic features was born. Lymphocytes showed a normal 46,XX[50] karyotype; both chromosomes 22 were maternal in origin (maternal uniparental disomy). Investigation of the placenta post-delivery using fluorescence in situ hybridization showed a low presence of trisomy 22 cells in only one out of 14 biopsies. In cultured fibroblasts of skin tissue, a mosaic 47,XX, +22[7]/46,XX [25] was observed. Clinical follow-up is given up to 19 months.

## Abstract We describe the first case of a baby with maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 2. Growth failure, hypothyroidism, and hyaline membrane disease were present at birth, and the first year of life was complicated by bronchopulmonary dysplasia. At age 14 months, motor and intellectual d
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
