This study underscores the critical role of integrating multiple molecular cytogenetic techniques in deciphering such complex cases, which is essential for accurate prognosis and personalized genetic counseling. The findings aim to deepen the understanding of genotype-phenotype correlations in rare chromosomal mosaicism and to guide clinical management.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Amniotic fluid was collected from a pregnant woman with an abnormal sex chromosome indicated by NIPT.
