Clin Case Rep. 2018 Jun 13;6(8):1470-1473. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.1624. eCollection 2018 Aug.

Abstract

Pallister-Killian syndrome (PKS) is often incidentally diagnosed prenatally due to ultrasound abnormalities or advanced maternal age. Severely shortened limbs could be the most outstanding abnormal observation in a fetus with PKS. PKS can be detected with the highest mosaic ratio by chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) on uncultured amniocytes prenatally.

Keywords: Pallister‐Killian syndrome; dichorionic diamniotic twins; microarray analysis; prenatal diagnosis.
