Prenatal diagnosis of a fetus with Miller-Dieker syndrome

OBJECTIVE: To carry out genetic diagnosis for a fetus.

METHODS: Chromosome G-banding and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) were carried out for a fetus with abnormal morphology of lateral cerebral fissure.

RESULTS: The karyotype of the fetus was normal, but CMA showed that it has carried a 1.4 Mb deletion at 17p13.3 region, which suggested a diagnosis of Miller-Dieker syndrome (MDS).

CONCLUSION: Familiarity with clinical features and proper selection of genetic testing method are crucial for the diagnosis of MDS. Attention should be paid to microdeletions and microduplications which can be missed by conventional chromosomal karyotyping.
