Trisomy 14 mosaicism is a rare chromosomal defect with only 20 cases reported in the literature. We describe a child with trisomy 14 mosaicism who has some previously described and some novel phenotypic features. Trisomy 14 mosaicism was demonstrated in both blood lymphocytes and from skin fibroblasts, and with normal parents and siblings. This child had no evidence of neurodevelopmental delay at 6 years of age on formal testing, suggesting that mental retardation is not universal in this condition. This child did not demonstrate neurodevelopmental delay, which as been reported universally among children with trisomy 14 mosaicism.

Down syndrome (DS), a genetic condition caused by trisomy 21 (T21), manifests various neurological symptoms, including intellectual disability, early neurodegeneration, and early-onset dementia. N-glycosylation is a protein modification that plays a critical role in numerous neurobiological processes and whose dysregulation is associated with a range of neurological disorders. However, whether N-glycosylation of neural glycoproteins is affected in DS has not been studied.

Background: Chromosomal mosaicism, a phenomenon observed in a minority of embryos, showcases its prevalence and inherent unpredictability, leading to variations in embryo mosaic rates across different centers. This research endeavors to assess the prevalence of mosaicism and its characteristics within the scope of our preimplantation genetic testing-A (PGT-A) services in Indonesia. Specifically focusing on our center's experience since 2020, this study aims to elucidate mosaic rates among embryos in our care.

People with mosaicism for trisomy 21 have been shown to exhibit many of the same phenotypic traits present in people with non-mosaic Down syndrome, but with varying symptom severity. However, the behavioral phenotype of people with mosaic Down syndrome (mDS) has not been well characterized. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of self-report and caregiver-report symptoms of depression and anxiety among a sample of 62 participants with mDS aged 12-46 and assess their association with the percentage of trisomy 21 in blood and/or buccal mucosa cells.

Chromosomal abnormalities of the embryo are the most common cause of first-trimester pregnancy loss. In this single-center study, we assessed the frequency and the spectrum of chromosomal abnormalities in miscarriages for each year of maternal age from 23 to 44. Cytogenetic data were obtained by conventional karyotyping of 7118 miscarriages in women with naturally conceived pregnancies.

Objective: To explore the genetic characteristics of a Chinese pedigree with rare mosaic 11q partial duplication and its pathogenetic mechanisms.

Methods: A pedigree which underwent prenatal diagnosis at Wenzhou Central Hospital between September 25, 2015 and November 30, 2023 was selected for the study. Clinical data were collected from the pedigree.
