Abstract:

A case of 17p13.3p13.2 microdeletion fetus was reported, combined with literature review. This is a fetus with the anencephaly and bilateral ventricle widening, ventricular septal defect and fetal growth restriction detected by imaging examination. Traditional chromosomal karyotype and single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP-array) analysis were employed for the genetic etiology analysis. The SNP-array detection demonstrated a 4.3 Mb deletion in 17p13.3p13.2 region of chromosome 17 in the fetus, which covering the Miller-Dieker syndrome disease region. Parental SNP-array verificated that this microdeletion was a de novo variant. It is of great significance combining use of imaging and SNP-array technology to screen and diagnose fetal birth defects.
