Upper limb hemimelia in a twin pregnancy which was obtained by an ICSI and PGD in a woman with mosaic Turner's syndrome and the prognosis.
Organogenesis 2017 October 3
Turner's syndrome (TS) is depicted as a total or partial absence of X chromosome, and occurs in approximately 1/2200 of live born females. Generally, mosaic patients are diagnosed following karyotype analysis due to recurrent pregnancy loss, repeated in vitro fertilization (IVF) failure, and a history of malformed babies. The purpose of this case report is to show that even a selection of normal karyotype embryos can result in abnormalities for those with mosaic TS. A 32-year old patient who underwent IVF after ICSI-PGD, and was diagnosed with 45X/46XX karyotype. At the 12-week scan, one of the fetuses had an upper limb hemimelia in one arm, and feticide was applied to that fetus. The patient delivered a healthy, 2980 g female baby at the thirty-eighth week. In mosaic TS pregnancies (even those obtained by ICSI-PGD), fetal anomaly risk is high. Therefore, careful prenatal scanning is needed for these pregnancies.
