OBJECTIVETo diagnose chromosomal abnormalities in amniotic fluid cells by combining karyotyping and single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP-array) analysis, and to explore the application of SNP-array in routine clinical practice.
METHODSConventional G banding was used to karyotype a fetal amniotic fluid sample and the corresponding peripheral blood samples from the parents, followed by SNP-array analysis of the fetal genomic DNA from the amniotic fluid.
RESULTSThe karyotype of the amniocytes was 47, XX, +mar. The marker chromosome was further identified as psu idic (22) (q11.2) by SNP-array analysis, revealing tetraploidy of a 1.7 Mb fragment in 22q11.1-q11.2 interval that involves the critical region for Cat eye syndrome.
CONCLUSIONA rare chromosomal abnormality was identified by combining conventional G banding and SNP-array. The high resolution SNP-array could provide more detailed information for determining the origin of chromosomal abnormalities.

OBJECTIVETo assess the value of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and bacterial artificial chromosome FISH (BAC-FISH) for the diagnosis for patients with marker chromosomes.
METHODSSixteen patients with marker chromosomes were analyzed with technologies including GTG-banding, Q-banding, multiplex FISH and BAC-FISH.
RESULTSThe marker chromosomes in the 16 patients were verified as der(Y) (2 cases), psu dic(Y) (1 case), psu dic(15) (1 case), dic(15) (1 case), del(Y) (1 case), r(X) (5 cases), i(14 or 22) (2 cases), i(18) (1 case).
CONCLUSIONFISH and BAC-FISH can both verify the origin of marker chromosomes and provide accurate information for the diagnosis and treatment of patients.
