Parental origin of the two additional haploid sets of chromosomes in an embryo with tetraploidy

Abstract: We report on the molecular investigations performed on an embryo with tetraploidy, karyotype 92,XXXY. The embryo was spontaneously aborted after eight weeks of gestation. Molecular analyses were performed in order to determine the parental origin and mode of formation of the two additional haploid sets of chromosomes. Microsatellite markers mapping to pericentromeric chromosome regions were used. Our results show a maternal origin of one additional set of chromosomes most likely due to the incorporation of the… Show more

“…Unfortunately, investigations of tetraploid spontaneous abortions or newborns are facing the same dilemma. In agreement with Baumer et al (2003), it can only be stated that more data from both sources are needed to determine, in particular, the role of haploid or diploid oocytes combined with three or two paternal contributions, respectively.…”

“…Of note, the constitution XYYY that has never been reported in spontaneous abortions can be found at the zygote level. As discussed by Baumer et al (2003), the karyotype 92,XYYY may be particularly unfavourable and may predispose to very early embryonic loss.…”
