Supernumerary marker chromosomes (SMC) were identified in amniocytes from two unrelated fetuses. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) characterization of the SMC showed they were derived from chromosome 15; SMC(15). Parental karyotyping demonstrated the SMC(15) to be de novo in one fetus and pa

We present cytogenetic and clinical data on 38 patients with supernumerary marker chromosomes (SMCs). SMCs were characterized using a strategy combining classical banding techniques and molecular cytogenetic studies. Cases were ascertained prenatally, postnatally, and after fetal death. In 26 patien
Eighteen fetuses with marker chromosomes were detected at diagnostic amniocentesis in our laboratory among 15 781 amniocentesis samples. Using combined approaches, conventional cytogenetics including special stain techniques and ¯uorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), we successfully characterized
The characterization of a prenatally detected very small (approximately half of 18p-(karyotype: 47,XX,+mar[16]/46,XX [7]) supernumerary marker chromosome (SMC) identified by GTG-banding analysis is described. The marker has been identified as derived from chromosome 8 centromeric material using a co
