Abstract

In the present study, three prenatally detected small supernumerary marker chromosomes (sSMC) were identified by banding cytogenetics and characterized in detail by molecular cytogenetics. In one case an sSMC(10) leading to a pericentric partial trisomy and in two cases heterochromatic sSMC derived from chromosome 22 were characterized. Outcomes were reportedly normal for two of the three cases for whom this information was known.
