Purpose: is one of the most frequently mutated genes in intellectual disability cohorts. Thus, far few adult-aged patients with -related disorder have been described, which limits our understanding of the disease's natural history and our ability to counsel patients and their families.
Methods: Data on patients aged 18+ years with -related disorder were collected through an online questionnaire completed by clinicians and parents.
Maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 14, upd(14)mat, leads to Temple syndrome (TS), an imprinting disorder characterized by pre- and postnatal growth retardation, hypotonia, motor delay, joint laxity, and precocious puberty. The occurrence of upd(14)mat is rare, and it may, in even rarer cases, co-occur with trisomy 14 mosaicism. To date, only 11 live-born cases have been reported in the literature.

Background: Mosaicism, characterized by the presence of two or more chromosomally distinct cell lines, is detected in 2% to 4% of chorionic villus samples (CVSs). In these cases, the aberration may be confined to the placenta or additionally present in the fetus. Fetal involvement may manifest as fetal malformations, while confined placental mosaicism (CPM) poses risks such as preterm birth and low birth weight.

Although the effect on couples is well documented, evidence-based treatments and prediction models are absent. Fetal aneuploidy is associated with a higher chance of a next successful pregnancy compared with euploid pregnancy loss in which underlying maternal conditions might be causal.

Methods: A retrospective descriptive study of registered pregnancies in Denmark with T8M in CVS identified through a database search and a review of published cases of T8M found through a systematic literature search and inclusion of cross references. Pregnancies with T8M in CVS and no additional numerical chromosomal aberrations were included.
