Abstract:
We present prenatal diagnosis and molecular cytogenetic characterization of a de novo interchromosomal insertion of ins(1; 8)(p22.1; q22q23) at amniocentesis.A 34-year-old woman underwent amniocentesis at 18 weeks of gestation because of advanced maternal age. Conventional cytogenetic analysis revealed a chromosome 1p22.1 interstitial duplication and a chromosome 8q22-q23 interstitial deletion. The parental karyotypes were normal. Array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis using the DNA extracted from cultured amniocytes revealed no genomic imbalance. Metaphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis on cultured amniocytes showed an interchromosomal insertion of ins(1; 8)(p22.1; q22q23) or ins(1; 8) (1pter→1p22.1::8q23→8q22::1p22.1→1qter; 8pter→8q22::8q23→8qter). The long arm of chromosome 8 between bands 8q22 and 8q23 had been directly inserted into the short arm of chromosome 1 at band 1p22.1. The karyotype was 46,XY,ins(1; 8)(p22.1; q22q23) or 46,XY,ins(1; 8)(1pter→1p22.1::8q23→8q22::1p22.1→1qter; 8pter→8q22::8q23→8qter). After genetic counseling, the parents decided to continue the pregnancy. A phenotypically normal male baby was delivered at term.FISH and aCGH are useful for genetic counseling and molecular cytogenetic characterization of a de novo interchromosomal insertion detected by amniocentesis.
