Trisomy mosaicism of chromosome 5 is uncommon with few cases described. A 41-year-old woman underwent ultrasound (US) at 16 weeks, which showed oligohydramnios and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Amniocentesis discovered a karyotype of 47,XX,+5/46,XX. US at 19 weeks disclosed IUGR, enlargement of right side of heart, main pulmonary artery dilatation, and a suspected congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) in the inferior lobe of the left lung. Due to poor fetal prognosis, the parents opted for legal termination of pregnancy. At postmortem, a wide ventricular septal defect and CPAM type 3 were found. Cytogenetic analyses on fetal tissues detected mosaic trisomy 5 in skin, thymus, kidneys and CPAM. Placenta and fetal peripheral blood revealed normal female karyotype. These results suggest that if a fetus presents normal phenotypic features, mosaicism may be confined to extraembryonic structures, otherwise, in case of malformations, it may be carried by affected organs.

Objective: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a rare abnormality with highly heterogeneous genetic causes. This study investigated chromosomal and monogenic abnormalities in fetal CDH patients and evaluated the efficacy of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and whole-exome sequencing (WES) for genetic diagnosis. The clinical features of the patients were also evaluated.

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.

Introduction: This study investigated the impact of trisomy 21 mosaicism (mT21) on Alzheimer's disease (AD) neuropathology in a well-characterized clinical case described by Ringman et al.
Methods: We describe AD neuropathology in mT21 including amyloid beta, phosphorylated tau, astrogliosis, microgliosis, α-synuclein, and TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) in cerebral cortex, hippocampal subregions, and amygdala using immunohistochemistry.
Results: We observed high AD neuropathologic change with a score of A3B3C3.
Constitutional Mosaic Pericentromeric Trisomy 8 in a Female Patient With Aplastic Anemia.

Aplastic anemia, characterized by pancytopenia and hypoplastic bone marrow, is associated with various acquired cytogenetic abnormalities, including trisomy 8, in 4%-15% of patients. Constitutional mosaic trisomy 8 notably increases the risks for cytopenia and myeloid malignancies. Duplications near chromosome 8 centromere are associated with developmental delays, autism, and trisomy 8p11.

- Chromosomal trisomy syndrome can cause various issues, including intellectual disabilities, and partial trisomy of distal 17q is a rare variant with similar problems like growth deficits and facial differences.
- This study describes three patients from two families with terminal trisomy 17q, including a child with a mosaic duplication on chromosome 17 and dizygotic twins with both a deletion on chromosome 15 and a duplication on chromosome 17.
- The research highlights the genetic mechanisms of these abnormalities and offers valuable insights for diagnosing partial trisomy 17q, aiding in understanding genotype-phenotype links for better genetic counseling.
