We present mosaic trisomy 21 at amniocentesis associated with a favorable fetal outcome and perinatal progressive decrease of the trisomy 21 cell line.
A 33-year-old woman underwent elective amniocentesis at 17 weeks of gestation because of anxiety, and the karyotype of cultured amniocytes was 47,XX,+21[4]/46,XX[13]. In 17 colonies of cultured amniocytes, four colonies had 47,XX,+21, while the other 13 colonies had 46,XX. Simultaneous array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis on uncultured amniocytes revealed the result of arr (21) × 3 [0.32] consistent with 32% mosaicism for trisomy 21. Repeat amniocentesis performed at 25 weeks of gestation revealed 47,XX,+21[4]/46,XX[24] with four colonies of 47,XX,+21 and 24 colonies of 46, XX on cultured amniocytes, and arr 21q11.2q22.3 × 2.25 by aCGH, 19.2% mosaicism for trisomy 21 (20/104 cells) by interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and no uniparental disomy (UPD) 21 by quantitative fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) on uncultured amniocytes. The parental karyotypes were normal, and prenatal ultrasound was unremarkable. A phenotypically normal 2815-g female baby was delivered at 38 weeks of gestation. Cytogenetic analysis on the cord blood, umbilical cord and placenta revealed the karyotype of 47,XX,+21[10]/46,XX[30]. 47,XX,+21[5]/46,XX[35] and 47,XX,+21[38]/46,XX[2], respectively. QF-PCR analysis on the DNA extracted from parental bloods, uncultured amniocytes, cord blood, umbilical cord and placenta confirmed a paternal origin of trisomy 21. When follow-up at age two months, the neonate was phenotypically normal, the peripheral blood had a karyotype of 47,XX,+21[6]/46,XX[34], and no trisomy 21 signals by interphase FISH was found on 100 buccal mucosal cells. When follow-up at age 13 months, the neonate was phenotypically normal, and the peripheral blood had a karyotype of 47,XX,+21[3]/46,XX[37].
Mosaic trisomy 21 at amniocentesis can be a transient and benign condition, and the abnormal trisomy 21 cell line may decrease and disappear after birth.
我们报告了一例在羊膜穿刺术时发现的镶嵌性 21 三体,并伴有有利的胎儿结局和围产期三体 21 细胞系逐渐减少。
一名 33 岁的女性因焦虑在 17 周时进行了选择性羊膜穿刺术,培养的羊水细胞的核型为 47,XX,+21[4]/46,XX[13]。在培养的 17 个羊水细胞菌落中,有 4 个菌落具有 47,XX,+21,而其他 13 个菌落具有 46,XX。对未培养的羊水细胞进行同时的 array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) 分析显示,arr (21) × 3 [0.32] 的结果与 21 三体的 32%镶嵌性一致。在 25 周妊娠时重复进行羊膜穿刺术,显示 47,XX,+21[4]/46,XX[24],培养的羊水细胞中有 4 个菌落为 47,XX,+21,24 个菌落为 46,XX,aCGH 显示 21q11.2q22.3×2.25,21 三体的嵌合体率为 19.2%(20/104 个细胞),间期荧光原位杂交(FISH)显示无单亲二体性(UPD)21,QF-PCR 分析未培养的羊水细胞也显示无 UPD21。父母的核型均正常,产前超声未见异常。一名表型正常的 2815 克女性婴儿于 38 周妊娠时分娩。脐带血、脐带和胎盘的细胞遗传学分析显示核型为 47,XX,+21[10]/46,XX[30]。分别为 47,XX,+21[5]/46,XX[35]和 47,XX,+21[38]/46,XX[2]。对来自父母血液、未培养的羊水细胞、脐带血、脐带和胎盘的 DNA 进行 QF-PCR 分析证实了三体 21 的父源性起源。在两个月大时进行随访时,新生儿表型正常,外周血核型为 47,XX,+21[6]/46,XX[34],100 个口腔黏膜细胞的间期 FISH 未发现三体 21 信号。在 13 个月大时进行随访时,新生儿表型正常,外周血核型为 47,XX,+21[3]/46,XX[37]。
羊膜穿刺术时发现的镶嵌性 21 三体可能是一种短暂而良性的情况,异常的三体 21 细胞系可能在出生后减少并消失。
