Bifid cardiac apex and spongiform cardiomyopathy in fetus with small microdeletion 16p12.2 of paternal origin. Critical points in family communication on 16p12.2 microdeletion.


ABSTRACT:

Key clinical message

From a literature review, this is the first case of fetal 16p12.2 microdeletion syndrome inherited from a normal father with autopsy description and evidence of spongious cardiomyopathy. First trimester intake of doxycycline could be a cofactor.

Abstract

Prenatal diagnosis of a 16p12.2 microdeletion, inherited from normal father, is reported in a dysmorphic 20 weeks fetus. Histopathological examination of the myocardium (not present in the 65 cases in literature) showed bifid apex of the heart and spongiotic structure. Correlation between the deleted genes and cardiomyopathy is discussed.
