Prenatal diagnosis of Potocki-Lupski syndrome in a fetus with hypoplastic left heart and aberrant right subclavian artery

Abstract

Potocki-Lupski syndrome (PTLS) is a rare genetic disorder associated with neurodevelopmental delay and heart defects. We report the first case of prenatal diagnosis of PTLS in a fetus with hypoplastic left heart and aberrant right subclavian artery. Detection of a fetal heart defect should be followed by chromosomal and genetic studies in order to rule out fetal aneuploidy and/or associated genetic syndromes with significant implications for the treatment of children with PTLS.
