Abstract:Objective:To verify the maternal balanced reciprocal translocation t (22;22) in a pregnant woman and the partial trisomy 22q in her fetus, which detected by G banding in a local hospital, using the combined genetic techniques. Methods:G-banding, N-banding and FISH were performed in the pregnant woman and her fetus,and high-resolution G-banding and N-banding in parents of the pregnant woman. Results:Inherited from her mother,the pregnant woman had the karyotype of 46,XX,t (11;22) (q25;q13), 22ps+. 22ps+ which was obviously a balanced reciprocal translocation with a pair of 22ps+ polymorphisms. A 22ps+ and a normal chromosome 11 in fetus were found to transmit from the pregnant woman,leading to a balanced karyotype in the fetus. Conclusions:The comprehensive analysis by using combined genetic techniques should be performed in fetus and family members to prevent errors in prenatal diagnosis.
