CASE REPORT: A 40-year-old, gravida 2, para 1, woman underwent amniocentesis at 17 weeks of gestation because of advanced maternal age. Amniocentesis revealed a karyotype of 47,XY,+mar. Prenatal ultrasound was unremarkable. Simultaneous array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis on the DNA extracted from uncultured amniocytes revealed no genomic imbalance. Cytogenetic analysis of the parental bloods revealed a karyotype of 47,XY,inv (9) (p12q13),+mar in the father and a karyotype of 46, XX in the mother. The sSMC was investigated by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis on cultured amniocytes using the CEP 13/21 alpha-satellite specific gene probe labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) fluorophore and the CEP 14/21 alpha-satellite specific gene probe labeled with Texas Red fluorophore (Cytocell Inc.). The result showed that the sSMC was derived from the chromosome 14/22, or+mar.ish dic (14/22) (D13Z1/D21Z1-, D14Z1/D22Z1+)[20]. A healthy male baby was delivered at term with no phenotypic abnormality. Quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) analysis on parental bloods and the child's peripheral blood was used to exclude uniparental disomy (UPD) (14) and UPD(22). CONCLUSION: FISH analysis is useful for the determination of an sSMC derived from an acrocentric chromosome under the circumstance of no genomic imbalance at amniocentesis. QF-PCR analysis is useful for excluding the possible associated UPD. CI - Copyright (c) 2022. Published by Elsevier B.V.
