We report on a fetus with multiple congenital anomalies including atypical lissencephaly, corpus callosum agenesis, cerebellar hypoplasia, cleft palate, ventricular septal defect, and hypoplastic aortic arch. The initial routine chromosome study failed to detect any abnormality. Subtelomeres analysis by MLPA identified an 18q23 duplication inherited from its healthy father. We describe the anomalies identified and discuss diagnosis and the causability of this telomeric duplication.

Genome wide noninvasive prenatal testing detects microduplication of the distal end of chromosome 15 in a fetus: a case report.

Background: Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is the most recent modality widely used in prenatal diagnostics. Commercially available NIPT has high sensitivity and specificity for the common fetal chromosomal aneuploidies. As future advancements in NIPT sequencing technology are becoming promising and more reliable, the ability to detect beyond aneuploidies and to expand detection of submicroscopic genomic alterations, as well as single-gene disorders might become possible.

Paternal microduplication of 11p14.3-p15.5 causes the clinical manifestations of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS), while microdeletion of 18q23-ter is clinically characterized by short stature, congenital malformations, and developmental delay.

The girl had mild dysmorphic features such as micro-retrognathia, upslanted palpebral fissures, bilateral epicanthus, high palate, low-set ears, short neck, and full cheeks. She also had an H-type tracheoesophageal fistula which required surgery.

Preimplantation genetic testing has been used widely in recent years as a part of assisted reproductive technology (ART) owing to the breakthrough development of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing. With the advancement of technology and increased resolution of next generation sequencing (NGS), extensive comprehensive chromosome screening along with small clinically significant deletions and duplications can possibly be performed simultaneously. Here, we present a case of rare chromosomal aberrations: 46,XY,dup(15)(q11.
