Abstract excerpt
We report on a maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 22 in a patient with severe intra-uterine growth retardation. Karyotyping of a placental tissue revealed non-mosaic trisomy 22, whereas lymphocyte chromosomes from the newborn were normal 46,XY. Microsatellite analysis using DNA extracted from white blood cells showed maternal uniparental heterodisomy for chromosome 22. Thus, the conceptus started as...
