Abstract

We describe a fetus from an intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) pregnancy with severe facial clefts, receding jaw, preauricular skin tags, postaxial hexadactyly, bi-lobed right lung, supernumerary cranial bone, and dilated lateral ventricles of the brain. Using a combination of G-banding, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), whole chromosome paints (WCPs), subtelomere probes, and multicolor banding (MCB), the karyorype was found to include I de novo unbalanced highly complex chromosome rearrangement (hCCR) involving chromosomes 3, 12, and :15 with seven breakpoints, and including monosomy for two separate regions of chromosome 12.
