OBJECTIVE The application of classical cytogenetic and DNA-based molecular techniques to detect cell lineages of mosaicism derived from cultured or noncultured fetal cells may result in discordant results. This retrospective study aimed to assess the inconsistent diagnostic outcomes, technical availability, and limitations of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and karyotyping for mosaicism. METHODS A total of 75 fetuses diagnosed with mosaicism by karyotype analysis or CMA were selected, and the results from both the methods were compared and further analyzed. RESULTS A total of 42 (56%, 42/75) CMA results were consistent with karyotypes, consisting of 22 cases of mosaic sex chromosomal abnormalities, 8 routine autosomal aneuploidy cases, 8 other autosome aneuploidy cases, 3 large cryptic genomic rearrangements, and 1 small supernumerary marker chromosome. Discrepancy between karyotype analysis and CMA was observed in 33 (44%, 33/75) mosaicisms involving 15 sex chromosomal abnormalities, 1 routine autosomal aneuploidies, 5 other autosome aneuploidy cases, 8 large cryptic genomic rearrangements, and 4 small supernumerary marker chromosomes. CONCLUSIONS Considering the disparities between methods as well as the cell populations analyzed, both CMA and karyotype analysis have their own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, CMA should ideally be used in combination with karyotyping to detect more cases of mosaicism than using either test alone.

D000782 Aneuploidy The chromosomal constitution of cells which deviate from the normal by the addition or subtraction of CHROMOSOMES, chromosome pairs, or chromosome fragments. In a normally diploid cell (DIPLOIDY) the loss of a chromosome pair is termed nullisomy (symbol: 2N-2), the loss of a single chromosome is MONOSOMY (symbol: 2N-1), the addition of a chromosome pair is tetrasomy (symbol: 2N+2), the addition of a single chromosome is TRISOMY (symbol: 2N+1).

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
