Prenatal and postnatal characterization of a de novo Xq22.1 terminal deletion.

We present a case of a de novo Xq22.1 chromosomal terminal deletion discovered prenatally by conventional cytogenetics. The pregnancy resulted in the birth of a normal girl. Preferential inactivation of the abnormal X was demonstrated postnatally. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) demonstrated a terminal Xq deletion spanning Xq22.1 -->qter. An X painting probe ruled out a translocation. The deleted X chromosome was determined to be of paternal origin. The girl is now 4 years old with normal physical and psychomotor development. X chromosomal deletions are infrequent findings in prenatal diagnosis and present a difficult counseling challenge when they occur. Prenatal X-inactivation studies provide an opportunity for more informative genetic counseling when a de novo X chromosome deletion is detected.
