ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: We present rapid confirmation of trisomy 13 of maternal origin by quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) following postmortem tissue cell culture failure in a pregnancy with trisomy 13 at amniocentesis and fetal postaxial polydactyly and facial cleft. CASE REPORT: A 34-year-old woman underwent amniocentesis at 17 weeks of gestation because of advanced maternal age. Cytogenetic analysis of cultured amniocytes revealed a karyotype of 47,XX,+13. Prenatal ultrasound revealed postaxial polydactyly. The pregnancy was subsequently terminated, and a malformed fetus was delivered with facial cleft and postaxial polydactyly of the hand and foot. Postmortem cytogenetic analysis of the fetal tissue revealed no growth of the cells due to culture failure, but QF-PCR analysis on the DNA extracted from placenta, umbilical cord and parental bloods confirmed trisomy 13 and maternal origin of the extra chromosome 13. CONCLUSION: QF-PCR analysis is useful for rapid perinatal confirmation of trisomy 13 and the parental origin of the extra chromosome 13, especially under the circumstance of tissue cell culture failure, and the acquired information is useful for genetic counseling.
