Cases in which there are more than three copies of a sex chromosome, and rarely of an autosome, have been reported, but to our knowledge hexasomy has never been described except in tissue undergoing neoplastic change. This report describes a female infant with multiple malformations in whom we found a mosaic hexasomy 21. This was first detected in amniotic fluid cells and subsequently in skin fibroblasts.
已有报道称存在性染色体有三份以上拷贝的情况,常染色体出现这种情况则较为罕见,但据我们所知,除了发生肿瘤变化的组织外,从未有过六体性的描述。本报告描述了一名患有多种畸形的女婴,我们在其体内发现了嵌合型21号染色体六体性。这一情况首先在羊水细胞中被检测到,随后在皮肤成纤维细胞中也被发现。
