Mosaic 13 trisomy due to de novo 13/13 translocation with subsequent fission karyotype: 46,XX,-13,+t(13;13)(p11;q11)/46,XX,del(13)(p11)

Summary A severely retarded child with multiple malformations was found to present a mosaic karyotype 46,XX,-13,+t(13;13)(p11;q11)/46,XX,del (13)(p11), which probably originated as the result of a de novo 13/13 translocation in a parental gamete, followed by postzygotic fission of the translocation chromosomse.     

Trisomy 18q: 46,XX,-10,+der(10) t(10;18) (p15;q12) pat: a case report.

A 2-month-old female with intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation, multiple congenital anomalies, absent right kidney, congenital heart disease was investigated. Her karyotype revealed, 46,XX,-10,+der(10), t(10;18) (p15;q12) pat. The child died at 2 months 2 weeks. This is the third case of trisomy 18q resulting from translocation of chromosome 10 and 18.     

A homologous tandem translocation [45,XX,-13,-13,+t(13;13) (q12;q34)

Chromosomal investigation of a young girl with mental and motor retardation and congenital anomalies revealed a translocation between both members of pair No. 13. Banding analysis showed that the translocation was "tandem," leading to monosomy for segments in both the long and short arms of No. 13.     

Partial trisomy of 13(pter→q12) due to 47,XY,+der(13),t(13;22)(q12;q13)mat

Summary A 36-month-old boy presented with short stature, short neck, shield-shaped chest, and mental retardation. Chromosome analysis showed trisomy for the short arm and the proximal portion of the long arm of chromosome 13 [47,XY,+der(13),t(13;22)(q12;q13)mat]. The patient's mother has a balanced translocation between the long arms of chromosomes 13 and 22 [46,XX,t(13;22)(q12;q13)]. The patient's neutrophils showed an elevated number of nuclear projections and his fetal hemoglobin level was undetectable.     

Mosaic 13 trisomy due to de novo 13/13 translocation with subsequent fission. Karyotype: 46,XX,-13, +t(13;13)(p11;q11)/46,XX,del(13)(p11). A second example

In this paper we report a second example of 13 trisomy mosaicism due to de novo 13/13 translocation followed by postzygotic fission of the translocation chromosome in a polymalformed female newborn.     

Pure 4p trisomy due to a de novo 4q;22p dicentric translocated chromosome karyotype 46,XX,-22,+t(4;22)(q1200;p13).

A de novo t(4;22)(q1200;p13) is reported in a girl with a florid 4p trisomy phenotype. The abnormal chromosome was identified by high resolution, C-bands and confirmed by 5-BrdU as de novo dicentric translocated chromosome.     

46,XX,-12,+der(12),rcp(3;12)(p25.1;p13.31)pat karyotype in a girl. Probable subregional assignment of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase locus to 12p13.1----p13.31 by exclusion mapping

A female infant with partial trisomy 3p and a terminal deletion 12p, due to a paternal (3;12)(p25.1;p13.31) translocation is described. Normal glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAPD) activity in the proposita tentatively excludes GAPD locus from the deleted segment. Therefore, the region for this locus is reduced to 12p13.1----p13.31.     

Deletion - translocation del (12) (p11) leads to (t10;12) (p13;pII).

Renewed examinatinon with improved banding techniques of a boy previously reported to have the karyotype 46, XY,del(12)(p11) revealed a translocation 46, XY,t(10;12)(p13;p11), and reexamination of a boy previously reported to have the karyotype 46,XY/46,XY,del(5)(p13) showed the same mosaicism, but with a significantly lower frequency of cells with del(5)(p13), 8% compared with 23% at the time of birth. The decrease of the frequency of cells with chromosome abnormality in mixoploids during the first years of life as found in the present case as well as in prevously reported cases is discussed.     

46,XX, der(15),t(Y;15)(q12;p11) karyotype in an azoospermic male

We report on a Yq/15p translocation in a 23-year-old infertile male referred for Klinefelter Syndrome testing, who had azoospermia and bilateral small testes. Hormonal studies revealed hypergonadotropic hypogonadism. Conventional cytogenetic procedures giemsa trypsin giemsa (GTG) and high resolution banding (HRB) and molecular cytogenetic techniques Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) performed on high-resolution lymphocyte chromosomes revealed the karyotype 46,XX, t(Y;15)(q12;p11). SRY-gene was confirmed to be present by classical Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) methods. His father carried de novo derivative chromosome 15 [45,X, t(Y;15)(q12;p11)] and was fertile; the karyotype of the father using G-band technique confirmed a reciprocal balanced translocation between chromosome Y and 15. In the proband, the der (15) has been inherited from the father because the mother had a normal karyotype (46,XX). In the proband, the der (15) could have produced genetic imbalance leading to unbalanced robertson translocation between chromosome Y and 15, which might have resulted in azoospermia and infertility in the proband. The paternal translocation might have lead to formation of imbalanced ova, which might be resulted infertility in the proband. Sister''s karyotypes was normal (46,XX) while his brother was not analyzed.     

47,XY,+der(11;22)(q23;q12) following balanced translocation t(11;22)(q23;q12)mat

Summary Report of a supernumerary extra chromosome der(11;22)(q23; q12) resulting from a balanced translocation in the mother. The propositus suffers from mental deficiency, deafness and extreme muscular weakness and exhibits cleft palate, a labial lymphangioma and an atrial septum defect. Since the features of partial trisomy 11q23 frequently associated with a translocation t(11q;22q) bear similarities with the cases of so called trisomy 22 one might conjecture that some of these observations are in fact products of translocations including partial 11q.     

Down syndrome in two siblings with 47,XY,+21 and 46,XY/46,XY,-21,+t(21q;21q)

Summary This is the first report in the literature of siblings affected with Down syndrome; one sibling had a nondisjunction of chromosome 21 and the other a (21q;21q) translocation.     

Sperm chromosome analysis of two males heterozygous for a t(2;17)(q35;p13) and t(3;8)(p13;p21) reciprocal translocation

Summary Sperm chromosome complements from two males, one heterozygous for the reciprocal translocation t(2;17)(q35;p13) (n = 18) and one for t(3;8) (p13;p21) (n = 73), were analyzed. Only 2:2 segregations were observed with t(2;17): alternate, 56%; adjacent-I, 33%; adjacent-II, 11%. Both 2:2 and 3:1 meiotic segregations occurred in t(3;8): alternate, 34.2%; adjacent-I, 43.8%; adjacent-II, 20.5% and 3:1, 1.4%. A significant excess of chromosomally normal versus balanced sperm complements was observed with both translocation heterozygotes. The frequencies of other chromosome aberrations unrelated to the translocations were 16.7% for t(2;17) and 8.2% for t(3;8). The ratio of X-bearing to Y-bearing sperm was not different from the theoretically expected ratio of 1:1.     

新生儿缺氧性脑病伴46,XX,-21,+t(21;21)罕见核型一例

Abstract:This report describes a cytogenetic aberration in one neonatal patient with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.A rare karyotype,46,XX,-21,+t(21;21), was detected.This de nono chromosomal abnormality may be caused by the meiotic non-disjunction of chromosomes during gametogenesis along with the formation of Robertsonian translocation between homologous chromosome 21.
