Detection of paternal origin of fetal trisomy 21 in a pregnancy with isolated ventriculomegaly but without advanced parental age.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:We present detection of paternal origin of fetal trisomy 21 in a pregnancy with isolated ventriculomegaly but without advanced parental age. CASE REPORT:A 29-year-old pregnant woman was admitted to the hospital at 18 weeks of gestation for tocolytic treatment because of irregular uterine contractions. Her husband was 30 years old. The couple had a healthy daughter. Prenatal ultrasound incidentally found isolated ventriculomegaly, and subsequent amniocentesis revealed a karyotype of 47,XX,+21 in 20/20 colonies of cultured amniocytes. The pregnancy was terminated, and the fetus manifested characteristic craniofacial appearance of Down syndrome and hyposplastic middle phalanx of the fifth finger. Postnatal polymorphic DNA marker analysis on the DNAs extracted from the cord blood and parental bloods using quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) showed a paternal origin of fetal trisomy 21. The father had a karyotype of 46, XY in 40/40 blood lymphocytes. CONCLUSION:QF-PCR is useful for rapid confirmation of prenatally detected fetal trisomy 21 and determination of paternal origin of fetal trisomy 21 especially in pregnancies with fetal structural abnormalities but without advanced parental age.
