The introduction of new technologies has dramatically changed the current practice of prenatal screening and testing for genetic abnormalities in the fetus. Expanded carrier screening panels and non-invasive cell-free fetal DNA-based screening for aneuploidy and single-gene disorders, and more recently for subchromosomal abnormalities, have been introduced into prenatal care. More recently introduced technologies such as chromosomal microarray analysis and whole-exome sequencing can diagnose more genetic conditions on samples obtained through amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling, including many disorders that cannot be screened for non-invasively. All of these options have benefits and limitations, and genetic counseling has become increasingly complex for providers who are responsible for guiding patients in their decisions about screening and testing before and during pregnancy.

AbstractChromosomal microdeletions and microduplications likely represent the main genetic etiologies for children with developmental delay or intellectual disability. Through prenatal chromosomal microarray analysis, some microdeletions or microduplications can be detected before birth to avoid unnecessary abortions or birth defects. Although some microdeletions or microduplications of chromosome 5 have been reported, numerous microduplications remain undescribed. We describe herein a case of a 30-year-old woman carrying a fetus with a chromosome 5q21.1–q21.3 microduplication. Because noninvasive prenatal testing indicated a fetal chromosome 5 abnormality, the patient underwent amniocentesis at 22 weeks 4 days of gestation. Karyotyping and chromosomal microarray analysis were performed on amniotic fluid cells. Fetal behavioral and structural abnormalities were assessed by color and pulsed Doppler ultrasound. Clinical characteristics of the newborn were assessed during the follow-up. The left lateral ventricle appeared widened on ultrasound, but the infant appeared normal at birth. The 5q21.1–q21.3 microduplication in the fetus was inherited from his mother. There are seven genes in this duplication region, but their main functions are unclear. According to this case report, microduplication in this region could represent a benign mutation. Clinicians should pay attention to the breakpoints and the genes involved when counseling patients with microdeletions and microduplications.
