✦ Synopsis

T w o apparently balanced chromosome rearrangements were identified in a 17-week fetus by analysis of cultured amniocytes. The fetal karyotype was 46,XX,t(2;16) (q33; q24), inv(7)(p15q11.23). Parental karyotypes were normal, indicating a de novo origin of both chromosome rearrangements in the fetus. The risk of phenotypic abnormality from a de novo reciprocal translocation or inversion has been estimated at approximately 7% [Warburton, 19911. The risk of abnormality in this fetus was estimated to be a minimum of 14%, based on the additive risk of each rearrangement, equivalent to 3.5% per chromosome breakpoint. The pregnancy was terminated because of the risk of abnormality and the detection of intrauterine growth retardation by ultrasound. In the absence of additional experience, the minimum presumed risk of phenotypic abnormality for de novo, multiple or complex chromosome rearrangements identified prenatally may be estimated as the additive risk of the number of chromosome breakpoints involved. @
