We present prenatal diagnosis of mosaic trisomy 18 by amniocentesis associated with a favorable fetal outcome in a pregnancy.
A 42-year-old, gravida 4, para 2, woman underwent amniocentesis at 18 weeks of gestation because advanced maternal age. Amniocentesis revealed a karyotype of 47,XX,+18[6]/46,XX[17]. Simultaneous array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) on uncultured amniocytes showed the result of 45% mosaicism for trisomy 18. At 25 weeks of gestation, the woman underwent repeat amniocentesis which revealed a karyotype of 47,XX,+18[10]/46,XX[24]. Simultaneous aCGH on uncultured amniocytes showed the result of arr 18p11.32q23 (148,963-78,012,829) × 2.3 [GRCh (hg19)] with a log ratio of 0.2-0.25 compatible with 30-38% mosaicism for trisomy 18. The parental karyotypes were normal. Prenatal ultrasound was unremarkable. Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) on uncultured amniocytes showed 27% (27/100 cells) mosaicism for trisomy 18. Quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) on uncultured amniocytes excluded uniparental disomy (UPD) 18. Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) analysis at 34 weeks of gestation revealed a significant gene dosage increase of chromosome 18 (29.95; normal control: -3.0-3.0). At 39 weeks of gestation, a 2840-g phenotypically normal baby was delivered. The cord blood had a karyotype of 47,XX,+18[8]/46,XX[32]. The placenta was trisomy 18 of maternal origin. The umbilical cord had a karyotype of 47,XX,+18[2]/46,XX[38]. At age 1½ months, the peripheral blood had a karyotype of 47,XX,+18[5]/46,XX[35], and FISH analysis on buccal mucosal cells revealed 2% (2/102 cells) mosaicism for trisomy 18. When follow-up at age seven months, the neonate was phenotypically normal, and the peripheral blood had a karyotype of 47,XX,+18[1]/46,XX[39].
Mosaic trisomy 18 at amniocentesis without abnormal fetal ultrasound can be associated with a favorable outcome, and the abnormal trisomy 18 cell line may decrease progressively after birth.
我们通过羊水穿刺术对一例妊娠合并嵌合体 18 三体进行产前诊断,并获得了良好的胎儿结局。
一位 42 岁,孕 4 产 2 的女性因高龄接受了 18 周的羊水穿刺术。羊水穿刺结果显示核型为 47,XX,+18[6]/46,XX[17]。同时对未培养的羊水细胞进行了比较基因组杂交(array comparative genomic hybridization, aCGH),结果显示 18 三体嵌合体率为 45%。25 周时,该女性再次接受了羊水穿刺,核型为 47,XX,+18[10]/46,XX[24]。同时对未培养的羊水细胞进行了 aCGH,结果显示 arr 18p11.32q23(148,963-78,012,829)×2.3[GRCh (hg19)],log 比值为 0.2-0.25,提示 18 三体嵌合体率为 30%-38%。父母的核型均正常。产前超声无异常。未培养的羊水细胞间期荧光原位杂交(fluorescence in situ hybridization, FISH)显示 18 三体嵌合体率为 27%(27/100 个细胞)。未培养的羊水细胞定量荧光聚合酶链反应(quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction, QF-PCR)排除了 18 三体单亲二体(uniparental disomy, UPD)。34 周时,非侵入性产前检测(non-invasive prenatal testing, NIPT)显示 18 号染色体基因剂量显著增加(29.95;正常对照:-3.0-3.0)。39 周时,分娩出一名 2840g 的表型正常婴儿。脐带血核型为 47,XX,+18[8]/46,XX[32]。胎盘来源于母体的 18 三体。脐带核型为 47,XX,+18[2]/46,XX[38]。1 个半月时,外周血核型为 47,XX,+18[5]/46,XX[35],颊黏膜细胞 FISH 分析显示 18 三体嵌合体率为 2%(2/102 个细胞)。7 个月随访时,新生儿表型正常,外周血核型为 47,XX,+18[1]/46,XX[39]。
无异常胎儿超声的羊水穿刺术发现嵌合体 18 三体可获得良好的妊娠结局,异常的 18 三体细胞系可能会在出生后逐渐减少。
