Genomic Chaos (Multiple Copy Number Variations and Structural Reorganization) Detected in Two Prenatal Cases

The use of new technologies in the routine diagnosis of constitutional abnormalities, such as high-resolution chromosomal microarray and next-generation sequencing, has unmasked new mechanisms for generating structural variation of the human genome. For example, complex chromosome rearrangements can originate by a chromosome catastrophe phenomenon in which numerous genomic rearrangements are apparently acquired in a single catastrophic event. This phenomenon is named chromoanagenesis (from the Greek “chromo” for chromosome and “anagenesis” for rebirth). Herein, we report 2 cases of genomic chaos detected at prenatal diagnosis. The terms “chromothripsis” and “chromoanasynthesis” and the challenge of genetic counseling are discussed.
