Abstract excerpt
Neocentromeres are rare functional centromeres formed within noncentromeric chromosomal regions. We report the finding of a neocentromere in a very rare class II analphoid chromosome. This neocentromere was detected prenatally in a fetus with the karyotype: 47,XY,del(4)(p15.3q21.1),+r(4)(p15.3q21.1).ish del(4)(D4S3360+,WHS+,D4Z1-,4qsubtel+),r(4)(D4S3360-,WHS-,D4Z1+,4qsubtel-)de novo. The fetus was missing one...
