Most chromosomal trisomies lead to spontaneous abortion. To date, trisomies of all human chromosomes have been observed. Chromosome 1 has been the most elusive, as trisomy 1 was the last aberration to be identiยฎed. To date there has been only one case report of a full trisomy 1 in the literature [19

โฆ Synopsis
Cytogenetic analysis of products of conception has identified trisomies for all human chromosomes except for chromosome 1. Presented here is a patient with clinical signs of pregnancy, including increasing hCG levels and evidence of a gestational sac on ultrasound. However, the pregnancy was lost between 8-9 weeks post-LMP with the diagnosis of a blighted ovum. Cytogenetic analysis of cultured chorionic villi demonstrated a 47,XY,ุ1 chromosome complement in all cells. This is the first reported case of nonmosaic trisomy 1 in a clinically recognized human pregnancy.

True chromosomal mosaicism of double trisomy (48,XX,+7,+20) was detected in amniotic fluid cell cultures at 16 and 20 weeks of gestation. No aneuploid cells were found in chorionic villus samples (CVS) by semidirect preparation and long-term culture. High-level ultrasound did not indicate any struct
