%X <B>OBJECTIVE: </B>We present incidental detection of familial 8p23.2 microduplication encompassing CSMD1 associated with mosaic 46,XY,t(7;8)(q31.2;p23.1)/46,XY at amniocentesis in a pregnancy with no apparent phenotypic abnormality and a favorable outcome.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>A 38-year-old, gravida 2, para 1, phenotypically normal woman underwent amniocentesis at 19 weeks of gestation because of advanced maternal age. Amniocentesis revealed a karyotype of 46,XY,t(7;8)(q31.2;p23.1)[2]/46,XY[20]. The parental karyotypes were normal. Array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis on the DNA extracted from cultured amniocytes and parental bloods revealed the result of a 2.178-Mb 8p23.2 microduplication encompassing CSMD1, or arr 8p23.2 (3,070,237-5,248,586) × 3.0 [GRCh37 (hg19)] in the fetus and the mother. The father did not have such a microduplicaiton. Prenatal ultrasound findings were unremarkable. At 38 weeks of gestation, a 2880-g phenotypically normal male baby was delivered. All the cord blood, umbilical cord and placenta had the karyotype of 46.XY. When follow-up at age six months, the neonate was normal in phenotype and development.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>Mosaicism for a balanced reciprocal translocation with a euploid cell line can be a transient and benign condition. Familial 8p23.2 microduplication encompassing CSMD1 can be associated with a favorable outcome.
