A 13q isodisomy in a balanced karyotype: 45,XY,-13,-13,+i(13)(q10) was found in cultured amniocytes studied because of advanced maternal age. The isochromosome was monocentric and a new mutation as both parents had normal chromosomes. Fetal blood was studied to exclude 13-trisomy mosaicism. All (100

โฆ Synopsis
Maternal uniparental disomy (UPD) for chromosome 14 (upd(14)mat) has been associated with a distinct phenotype. We describe the first case of maternal uniparental isodisomy for chromosome 14 detected prenatally, in a pregnancy with mosaicism for trisomy 14 observed in both a chorionic villus sample (CVS) and in amniocytes. Detailed analysis of polymorphic microsatellites showed that the fetus was essentially isodisomic for one of the mother's chromosomes 14 and that recombination had introduced a mid-long arm region of heterodisomy. The fetus, which died in utero at 18 weeks, showed no apparent pathological features. The case demonstrates for the first time a maternal meiosis II non-disjunction of chromosome 14 leading to a trisomic conception which has been incompletely corrected by 'rescue' in the early embryo.

A patient with uniparental heterodisomy for chromosome 16 presented initially at prenatal diagnosis with a karyotype of 47, XX + 16 on chorionic villus sampling at 11 weeks gestation. The pregnancy was proceeding normally and follow up amniocentesis showed a normal female karyotype. At birth, the ch
