Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Developmental Biology
  • Medical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Trisomy 15q2 is a rare chromosomal abnormality.
  • Prenatal diagnosis allows for early identification of genetic conditions.
  • Understanding phenotypic features is crucial for genetic counseling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report the case of a male fetus diagnosed prenatally with trisomy 15q2.
  • To compare prenatal findings with known features of trisomy 15q2 syndrome.
  • To provide a concise review of the 15q2 trisomy syndrome.

Main Methods:

  • Prenatal diagnosis of trisomy 15q2.
  • Clinical examination and assessment of craniofacial features.
  • Literature review of 15q2 trisomy syndrome.

Main Results:

  • The prenatally diagnosed fetus exhibited specific craniofacial anomalies.
  • These craniofacial findings were consistent with those reported in liveborn individuals with partial trisomy 15q2.
  • The study confirms the presence of characteristic features associated with this condition.

Conclusions:

  • Prenatal diagnosis of trisomy 15q2 is feasible.
  • The craniofacial phenotype in trisomy 15q2 appears consistent between prenatal and postnatal stages.
  • This case contributes to the understanding of trisomy 15q2 syndrome.
