Prenatal diagnosis of Smith-Magenis syndrome in two fetuses with increased nuchal translucency, mild lateral ventriculomegaly, and congenital heart defects

摘要

Objective: Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) is a multiple congenital anomalies/mental retardation disorder characterized by an interstitial deletion involving chromosome 17p11.2 containing the retinoic acid-induced I (RAI1) gene or due to mutation of RAI1. Few cases have been reported in the medical literature regarding prenatal diagnosis of SMS. We report on the prenatal diagnosis of SMS in two fetuses with increased nuchal translucency (NT), mild lateral ventriculomegaly, and congenital heart defects by whole-genome and high-resolution chromosome microarray analysis (CMA).
