Abstract Background Tetrasomy 18p syndrome is a rare chromosomal disorder that is caused by the presence of isochromosome 18p. Most tetrasomy 18p cases are de novo cases and maternal origin of trisomy 18p is a rare condition. At present, only four cases of maternal origin have been reported in worldwide.This is the fifth case of tetrasomy 18p originating from maternal trisomy 18p. The mother of the fetus studied had no apparent disease phenotype. Case presentation The current case report is to describe a fetus with confirmed 18p tetrasomy as detected by karyotyping and Single Nucleotide Polymorphism array (SNP array) analysis. However, the fetus showed normal phenotypic features that were observed using ultrasound scans. The mother and maternal grandfather were phenotypically normal and healthy; however, they were diagnosed with trisomy 18p, which was confirmed by conventional karyotyping and SNP array. Conclusions We report a case of 18p tetrasomy in a fetus whose mother and grandfather had 18p trisomy. The mother and grandfather were phenotypically normal. Our case report findings provide an important reference for the genetic counseling of trisomy 18p in the future. |
