We report a fetus with mosaic trisomy 11 who also had bilateral renal agenesis. We describe the post-mortem examination findings in the fetus and cytogenetic analysis. There are no earlier reports of full trisomy 11, presumably because it is lethal and results in early spontaneous miscarriages. There is only one report published earlier in a fetus with mosaic trisomy 11. There have been a few case reports of trisomy 11 identified in pre-natal samples, where it was associated with normal outcome. Bilateral renal agenesis has not been reported earlier in association with mosaic nor non-mosaic trisomy 11. We describe this rare cytogenetic finding in a fetus with bilateral renal agenesis. We also discuss the issues around genetic counselling when this is encountered in clinical practice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
