CASE REPORT: A 34-year-old, primigravid woman underwent amniocentesis at 17 weeks of gestation because of advanced maternal age. Amniocentesis revealed a karyotype of 47,XY,+21 [7]/46,XY [33]. At 23 weeks of gestation, repeat amniocentesis revealed a karyotype of 47,XY,+21 [4]/46,XY [22], and cord blood sampling revealed the karyotype of 47,XY,+21 [5]/46,XY [35]. The parental karyotypes were normal. Quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) analysis on uncultured amniocytes and parental bloods excluded UPD 21, array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis on uncultured amniocytes revealed the result of arr 21q11.2q22.3 x 2.3, consistent with 30% mosaicism for trisomy 21. Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis on uncultured amniocytes revealed 43.8% (35/80 cells) mosaicism for trisomy 21. The woman was advised to continue the pregnancy, and a phenotypically normal 3,340-g male baby was delivered at 39 weeks of gestation. The cord blood had a karyotypes of 46,XY (40/40 cells). QF-PCR on placenta showed mosaic trisomy 21. When follow-up at age three months, the neonate was normal in phenotype and development. FISH analysis on buccal mucosal cells showed 9% (10/101 cells) mosaicism for trisomy 21, compared with 0% (0/100 cells) in the normal control. CONCLUSION: Low-level mosaic trisomy 21 at amniocentesis can be associated with cytogenetic discrepancy between cultured amniocytes and uncultured amniocytes, perinatal progressive decrease of the aneuploid cell line and a favorable fetal outcome.
