PG - 1143-9 AB - A complex chromosome rearrangement (CCR) with eight breakpoints resulting in four derivative chromosomes (4, 11, 12 and 13) was detected prenatally in a male fetus of a twin pregnancy. The karyotype of the female second fetus was normal. The apparently balanced de novo CCR was identified by classical cytogenetic methods and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). We compared these findings with results from spectral karyotyping (SKY). CI - Copyright 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
