    Objective: We present a postnatal diagnosis of 17q12 micro-duplication with no obvious phenotypic abnormality Case review: A female newborn weighing 2058 g was delivered NVD at 34+5 weeks of gestation to a Gravida 3 Para 2 23 year old mother, who had an antenatal history of significant maternal polyhydraminos. The baby was born flat and cyanosed with an APGAR score of 3. Discussion: The chromosomal microarray analysis revealed a copy number gain (4 copies) of “unknown significance” of the long arm of chromosome 17 at 17q12 of size 431 kbp and encompassing 7 OMIM genes. The result also showed stretches of LOH (loss of hetrozygosity) on several chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome analysis identified a heterozygous likely pathogenic variant in the ANKRD11 gene. This result is consistent with the genetic diag.. Read More»
