Molecular Cytogenetic Diagnostics of Marker Chromosomes: Analysis in Four Prenatal Cases and Long-Term Clinical Evaluation of Carriers

Abstract: The prenatal finding of a small supernumerary marker chromosome (sSMC) is a challenge for genetic counseling. Our analytic algorithm is based on sSMC frequencies and multicolor FISH to accelerate the procedure. The chromosomal origin, size, and degree of mosaicism of the sSMC then determine the prognosis. We illustrate the effectiveness on 4 prenatally identified de novo mosaic sSMCs derived from chromosomes 13/21, X, 3, and 17. Three sSMC carriers had a good prognosis and apparently healthy children were born… Show more

“…Exact identification of an sSMC is especially important in a prenatal situation and the time necessary for the diagnosis is of great importance. Utilization of a clear algorithm and diagnostic protocol is a valuable tool in the management of a prenatally detected sSMC and can prevent the unnecessary delays during the diagnostic process [35]. Regarding our case, the characterization of the marker chromosome before the molecular genetic era would not have been carried out properly and in many instances that pregnancies would have been terminated.…”

“…Tỉ lệ gặp marker khi chẩn đoán trước sinh là 1:1340 và sau sinh là 1:2250. Sự khác biệt giữa 2 tỉ lệ này do hai nguyên nhân chính: sảy thai tự nhiên và quyết định dừng thai ở các thai mang marker bất thường [10]. Khoảng 77% marker mới phát sinh trong thời kì hình thành và phát triển phôi, còn lại 23% có tính chất gia đình, ở đó 16% có nguồn gốc từ mẹ và 7% có nguồn gốc từ bố [2,7].…”

“…Ngược lại, nếu marker chứa vùng Prader-Willi/Angelman trên nhiễm sắc thể 15 thì lại có tiên lượng kém. Hay khi marker xuất hiện cùng công thức nhiễm sắc thể 45,X có thể bệnh nhân có kiểu hình hội chứng Turner hoặc rối loạn phát triển tuyến sinh dục nhưng cũng có thể có kiểu hình bình thường [10].…”

“…In addition, in some cases, two copies of a chromosome of the same parent may be present in a normal cell, leading to uniparental disomy (UPD) ( Liehr and Al-rikabi, 2019 ). Finally, the presence of sSMCs with neocentromeres, complex markers resulting from chromothripsis, and multiple sSMCs in the same individual must be considered ( Tesner and Drabova, 2018 ) .…”
