We experienced two cases of de novo fetal chromosomal abnormalities after assisted reproductive technology (ART): One case was reciprocal translocation 46,XX,t(6;14)(p21.3;q12) after intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo transfer (ICSI-ET) and the other case was 46,X,iso(Xq) after in vitro fertilizaton and embryo transfer (IVF-ET), both were diagnosed prenatally by amniocentesis and postnatally cord blood culture. We report these cases with a brief review of literatures. |
