Abstract
We report a liveborn infant with severe intrauterine growth retardatio n and renal failure, delivered following detection of non-mosaic triso my 2 by chorionic villus biopsy in the first trimester. Detailed analy sis post-delivery indicated apparent complete trisomy 2, of the chorio nic tissues, with a chromosomally normal infant demonstrating maternal uniparental disomy for chromosome 2.
