✦ Synopsis

Pallister-Killian syndrome (tetrasomy 12p) is a relatively rare aneuploidy syndrome characterized by the presence of mosaicism for an isochromosome 12p [i(12p)]. We report two new cases diagnosed following chorionic villus sampling and an abnormal ultrasound, respectively. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) was used to enumerate the number of interphase cells containing the isochromosome. The results of these studies illustrate the importance of the use of interphase FISH to detect the presence of the i(12p) in uncultured, non-dividing cells. A review of the literature identified 23 additional cases of Pallister-Killian syndrome diagnosed prenatally. Approximately 50 per cent of these cases were associated with the presence of a congenital diaphragmatic hernia. We suggest that a perinatal-lethal form of Pallister-Killian syndrome is underdiagnosed and recommend that all cases of prenatally detected diaphragmatic hernia be tested for Pallister-Killian syndrome using interphase FISH on uncultured amniocytes.

We have assessed the effects that would have been observed if we had changed from standard prenatal diagnosis to interphase ¯uorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) on our amniocentesis samples.

FISH analysis of uncultured interphase amniotic fluid cells from a male fetus revealed two signals using an alpha-satellite X-chromosome DNA probe. One of the signals was much smaller than the other. It was subsequently shown that the normal sized signal was located on the X chromosome and the small
