The incidence of discordant fetal sex is estimated to be 1 in 1500-2000, requiring comprehensive evaluation. Chimera is identified as one of the possible causes of genotype-phenotype sex discordance, detectable prenatally through a combination of noninvasive prenatal screening and ultrasound. Genetic counseling for prospective parents on chimera may be complex, necessitating early support and information from experienced professionals.
