Article Synopsis
- A supernumerary marker chromosome (SMC) is an uncommon, structurally abnormal chromosome that can't be easily identified using typical cytogenetic techniques, impacting about 0.075% of prenatal cases.
- Case study involved a 39-year-old pregnant woman with a normal ultrasound but high-risk factors for chromosomal abnormalities, leading to further testing.
- Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) combined with chorionic villus sampling successfully identified a duplication on chromosome 20, allowing for quicker and more efficient analysis without extensive FISH studies.
