Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To explore a case of abnormal fetal development due to a rare paternal t(10;14)(p11.2;p11) translocation.
METHODS:A fetus undergoing prenatal diagnosis at Northwest Women's and Children's Hospital on June 21,2024 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data were collected. Amniotic fluid sample of the fetus and peripheral venous blood samples of its parents were collected for chromosomal karyotyping and copy number variation (CNV) analysis. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the hospital (Ethics No.: 2024-132).
RESULTS:Ultrasound scan at 23+4 gestational weeks revealed nasal bone dysplasia. Amniotic fluid analysis revealed that the fetus has a karyotype of 46,X?,der(14)t(10;14)(p11.2;p11)dpat, while its father had a 46,XY,t(10;14)(p11.2;p11) karyotype. No chromosomal abnormality was found in its mother. CNV analysis revealed that the fetus had a 30.46 Mb duplication in the 10p15.3-p11.23 region. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the duplication was classified as pathogenic.
CONCLUSION:By combining conventional cytogenetic methods with molecular techniques, the fetus was diagnosed with partial trisomy 10p syndrome caused by a rare paternal t(10;14)(p11.2;p11) translocation. Above finding holds significant clinical value for genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for the family.
