A unique case of recurrent fetal cystic hygroma: first fetus with an inherited heteromorphism of chromosome 1 (1qh+) and the second fetus with 69XXX triploidy
Rom J Morphol Embryol. 2020 Jul-Sep;61(3):935-940. doi: 10.47162/RJME.61.3.34.ABSTRACTThe authors report a unique recurrent septated cystic hygroma (CH), on two successive pregnancies, at five years interval. The chromosome analysis of the first fetus showed an increase in length of heterochromatin on the long arm of chromosome 1 - 1qh+, a chromosomal polymorphism inherited from mother, 46XX,1qh+,14ps+,21ps+. The karyotype of the second CH, with more severe ultrasound (US) imaging, showed a 69XXX triploidy. The patient took no risk and underwent each time a termination of pregnancy (TOP). The first karyotype is generally c...
