PG - 1455-1460 LID - 10.3760/cma.j.cn511374-20220705-00451 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: To carry out cyto- and molecular genetic analysis for a fetus with a ring chromosome identified through non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). METHODS: A pregnant woman presented at the Shengjing Hospital Affiliated to China Medical University on May 11, 2021 was selected as the study subject. Maternal peripheral blood sample was screened by NIPT, and G-banded chromosomal karyotyping was carried out on amniotic fluid and peripheral blood samples from the couple. The fetus and the pregnant woman were also subjected to genomic copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq), chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA), and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assay. RESULTS: NIPT result suggested that the fetus had monomeric mosaicism or fragment deletion on chromosome 13. G banded chromosomal analysis showed that both the fetus and its mother had a karyotype of 47,XX,der(13)(pter-->p11::q22-->q10),+r(13)(::p10::q22-->qter::), whilst her husband had a normal karyotype. FISH has verified the above results. No abnormality was detected with CNV-seq and CMA in both the fetus and the pregnant woman. CONCLUSION: The ring chromosome 13 in the fetus has derived from its mother without any deletion, duplication and mosaicism. Both the fetus and the pregnant woman were phenotypically normal.
