Haploinsufficiencies of FOXF1, FOXC2 and FOXL1 genes originated from deleted 16q24.1q24.2 fragment related with alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of pulmonary veins and lymphedema-distichiasis syndrome: relationship to phenotype.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We describe a fetus with a 2.12-Mb terminal deleted fragment in 16q associated with alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of pulmonary veins (ACDMPV) and lymphedema-distichiasis syndrome (LDS) and intend to provide a comprehensive prenatal management strategy for the fetuses with ACDMPV and LDS through reviewing other similar published studies.

Methods

The fetus presented a series of diverse structural malformations including congenital cardiovascular, genitourinary and gastro-intestinal anomalies in ultrasound at 23 + 5 weeks of gestation (GA). Amniocentesis was conducted for karyotype analysis and copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) after informed consent.

Results

The fetal karyotype was 46,XX, however the result of CNV-seq showed an approx
