CASE REPORT

A 38-year-old pregnant woman [G3P3] was admitted to our clinic. A non-invasive prenatal diagnosis test (NIPT) was performed at the 15th week of pregnancy. The results of the NIPT indicated a probable risk for 45,X. Due to the lockdowns at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, cordocentesis was offered at the 22nd week of pregnancy. At that time, she presented to our clinic in the 26th week of pregnancy. The family was informed that cordocentesis is an invasive procedure and that there is a high risk of losing the baby during cordocentesis. For this reason, cordocentesis was not performed. After birth, karyotyping of the peripheral blood and the epithelial cells of the oral mucosa were performed and the karyotype of the baby was determined as 45,X/ 46,XY+mar? respectively. No numerical and/or structural anomalies were observed in the karyotypes of parents and siblings. Based on the microarray analysis of the analyzed sample, one copy of the X chromosome was detected in all cells and the presence of one copy of the Y chromosome was detected in a ~40% mosaic state: arr(X)x1,(Y)x1[0.4]. Lastly, SRY gene duplication on Y chromosome was detected by Fluorescent in situ Hybridization (FISH) and microarray analysis. Clinical examination of the patient showed ambiguous genitalia (clitoromegaly) and an abnormal facial shape. Also was shown that the newborn was phenotypically female, with the exception of neonatal cliteromegaly. Prader staging was consistent with stage 1 and excessive lanugo pubescence was also observed, which differed from typical Turner syndrome symptoms. The baby underwent surgery for aortic coarctation. Based on the clinical information provided, the marker chromosome observed in the karyotype of the patient is likely the mosaic chromosome Y. The results are consistent with the genetic diagnosis of 45,X/46,XY mixed gonadal dysgenesis Lastly, genetic counselling was offered to the family.
