Popis: Abstract Mosaic chromosomal anomalies arising in the product of conception and the final fetal chromosomal arrangement are expression of complex biological mechanisms. The rescue of unbalanced chromosome with selection of the most viable cell line/s in the embryo and the unfavourable imbalances in placental tissues was documented in our previous paper and in the literature. We report four additional cases with mosaic derivative chromosomes in different feto-placental tissues, further showing the instability of an intermediate gross imbalance as a frequent mechanism of de novo cryptic deletions and duplications. In conclusion we underline how the extensive remodeling of unbalanced chromosomes in placental tissues represents the ‘backstage’ of de novo structural rearrangements, as the early phases of a long selection process that the genome undergo during embryogenesis.
