Article Abstract
We describe a female infant with X-linked chondrodysplasia punctata (CDPX1) as a result of maternal isodisomy of the X chromosome. Targeted Sanger sequencing and targeted next-generation sequencing of ARSL were used to test for the familial variant. This patient was homozygous for ARSL NM_000047.2: c.1227_1228delinsAT p.(Ser410Cys) familial variant, consistent with a diagnosis of CDPX1. Uniparental disomy is a type of chromosomal variation. Although not necessarily pathogenic, it can cause imprinting disorders and X-linked recessive disorders in females, and be a cause of autosomal recessive conditions when only one parent is a carrier. The patient described highlights that uniparental disomy can be a rare cause of X-linked recessive conditions. This mode of inheritance has not been previously described in this condition.

Uniparental disomy (UPD), the inheritance of two copies of a chromosome from one parent, can lead to recessive genetic disorders or imprinting effects. We report a case of autosomal recessive glycogen storage disease type 4 (GSD IV) due to maternal UPD of chromosome 3, representing the first reported instance of UPD leading to this rare disorder. To avoid an unjustified claim of misattributed paternity, the possibility of UPD should always be kept in mind in cases with the unique finding of the homozygous pathogenic variant only present in one parent.

Background: Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) has demonstrated robust performance in detecting common trisomies and copy number variations. However, its clinical utility for rare chromosomal abnormalities (RCAs) remains controversial due to low positive predictive value (PPV).
Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed the data of 94,125 cases that underwent NIPT at Ganzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital in China.

Background: Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a complicated genetic disorder demonstrating a variety of clinical phenotypes. Using molecular cytogenetics approaches to detect the deletions of the paternal 15q11-q13 region and maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 15 plays an important role in the prenatal diagnosis of PWS.
Case Presentation: A pregnant woman with advanced maternal age underwent amniocentesis.

Background: Angelman Syndrome (AS) is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder with only symptomatic treatment currently available. The primary cause of AS is loss of functional UBE3A protein. This can be caused by deletions in the maternal 15q11-q13 region, maternal AS-imprinting center defects (mICD), paternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 15 (UPD) or mutations within the UBE3A gene.
