TRISOMY 19 MOSAICISM
Trisomy of chromosome 19 is very rare. Trisomy 19 conceptions have not been observed in the large case reports of chromosomal mosaicism discovered on chorionic villus sampling (Hahnemann & Vejerslev 1997). Hsu et al (1997) reported on 1 case of trisomy 19 mosaicism diagnosed on amniocentesis. The outcome for this case was normal.
Uniparental Disomy (UPD 19)
There are no reports of imprinted genes on chromosome 19 (Ledbetter & Engel, 1995).
