We have investigated the evolutionary history of the 4q35 paralogous region, and of a sub-family of interspersed LSau repeats. In HSA, 4q35 duplications were localized at 1q12, 3p12.3, 4q35, 10q26, 20cen, whereas duplicons and interspersed LSau repeats simultaneously labeled the p arm of acrocentric chromosomes. A multi-site localization of 4q35-like sequences was also observed in PTR, GGO, PPY, HLA (Hominoidea) and PAN (Old World monkey), thus indicating that duplications of this region have occurred extensively in the two clades, which diverged at least 25 million years ago. In HSA, PTR and PAN, 4q35-derived duplicons co-localized with rDNA, whereas in GGO and PPY this association was partially lacking. In PAN, the single- and multi-site distribution of rDNA and paralogous sequences, respectively, indicates a different timing of sequence dispersal. The sub-family of interspersed LSau repeats showed a lesser dispersal than 4q35 duplications both in man and great apes. This finding suggests that duplications and repeated sequences have undergone different expansion/contraction events during evolution. The mechanisms underlying the dispersal of paralogous regions may be further derived through studies comparing the detailed structural organization of these genomic regions in man and primates. 相似文献

In the present paper we report a moderately mentally retarded 3 1/2-year-old girl with distal inverted 5q duplication (karyotype 46,XX,inv dup(5)(pter----q35.3::q35.3----q32::q35.3----qter). A distinct dysmorphic syndrome was present corresponding to the socalled "B-type" phenotype in 5q duplications, due to a duplication of band 5q33. 相似文献

Microduplication 22q11.2, an emerging syndrome: clinical, cytogenetic, and molecular analysis of thirteen patients 下载免费PDF全文
Ensenauer RE Adeyinka A Flynn HC Michels VV Lindor NM Dawson DB Thorland EC Lorentz CP Goldstein JL McDonald MT Smith WE Simon-Fayard E Alexander AA Kulharya AS Ketterling RP Clark RD Jalal SM 《American journal of human genetics》2003,73(5):1027-1040
Chromosome 22, particularly band 22q11.2, is predisposed to rearrangements due to misalignments of low-copy repeats (LCRs). DiGeorge/velocardiofacial syndrome (DG/VCFS) is a common disorder resulting from microdeletion within the same band. Although both deletion and duplication are expected to occur in equal proportions as reciprocal events caused by LCR-mediated rearrangements, very few microduplications have been identified. We have identified 13 cases of microduplication 22q11.2, primarily by interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The size of the duplications, determined by FISH probes from bacterial artificial chromosomes and P(1) artificial chromosomes, range from 3-4 Mb to 6 Mb, and the exchange points seem to involve an LCR. Molecular analysis based on 15 short tandem repeats confirmed the size of the duplications and indicated that at least 1 of 15 loci has three alleles present. The patients' phenotypes ranged from mild to severe, sharing a tendency for velopharyngeal insufficiency with DG/VCFS but having other distinctive characteristics, as well. Although the present series of patients was ascertained because of some overlapping features with DG/VCF syndromes, the microduplication of 22q11.2 appears to be a new syndrome. 相似文献

Subtelomeric rearrangements significantly contribute to idiopathic mental retardation and result in several mental retardation syndromes; however, most subtelomeric defects lack a characteristic phenotype. Thirty patients with unexplained mental retardation, a normal R banded karyotype at the 550 band, and no clinically recognizable syndrome were screened by Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA). Four anomalies were identified: deletion 17q, duplications (4q), and associated duplications 15q and Xq. This duplication was found in two sisters of the proband. Anomalies were unidentified by the conventional technique. The prevalence of subtelomeric imbalances in our cohort of moderate to severe mental retardation is around 13% and is consistent with the literature. The sensitivity of the MLPA technique was characterized on cytogenetically verified positive and negative controls. MLPA is a fast, reliable, and relatively inexpensive technique to detect subtelomeric rearrangement in comparison with the fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique. 相似文献

Localization of the alpha-like globin gene cluster to region q12 of rabbit chromosome 6 by in situ hybridization 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) alpha-like globin gene cluster (HBAC) contains several block duplications of zeta-, alpha and theta-globin genes. Using in situ hybridizations to metaphase chromosome spreads, the gene cluster has been mapped to region q12 of chromosome 6. Given that human HBAC maps to the short arm of chromosome 16, the mapping of rabbit HBAC to 6q12 confirms the assignment of homology between OCU6q and HSA16p based on similarities of chromosomal banding patterns. In both species, HBAC is in a very G + C-rich region within the most distal band of the chromosome. 相似文献

Ploidy of a chromosome set and some regular structural aberrations in the new human 4BL cell line by passage 205 have been characterized in the previous cytogenetic studies. The purpose of this study was to investigate, using the array CGH and FISH methods, the nature of regular monosomies in particular homologous pairs. Structural aberrations were detected in all the chromosome pairs distinguished as monosomies according to classical cytogenetic analyses. The most notable alterations have been detected in chromosomes 2, 4, 10, 13, and 17. Massive genetic material losses were a probable cause for the monosomy of chromosomes 4, 10, 13, and 17. The monosomy of the second pair of chromosomes was caused by a substantial transformation in one of the homologs typified as multiple duplications and the formation of a derivative—der(2)t(2;?)(q21;?). The application of array CGH aided us in identifying the regions of structural aberrations in chromosomes 2, 4, 10, 13, and 17, that allowed a more accurate identification with the use of the multicolor FISH method. The obtained results confirm the hypothesis concerning a coordinated emergence of deletions and duplications and their stabilizing effect on transformed chromosomes. 相似文献

Multicolor FISH analysis of chromosomal breaks, duplications, deletions, and numerical abnormalities in the sperm of healthy men 下载免费PDF全文

Transmitted de novo structural chromosomal abnormalities, the majority of which are paternally derived, can lead to abnormal reproductive outcomes as well as genetic diseases in offspring. We developed and validated a new multicolor FISH procedure (sperm ACM, which utilizes DNA probes specific for the alpha [1cen], classical, [1q12], and midi [1p36.3] satellites of chromosome 1) which utilizes DNA probes specific for three regions of chromosome 1 to detect human sperm that carry numerical abnormalities plus two categories of structural aberrations: (1) duplications and deletions of 1pter and 1cen, and (2) chromosomal breaks within the 1cen-1q12 region. In healthy men, the average frequencies of sperm with duplications and deletions were (a) 4.5 +/- 0.5 and 4.1 +/- 1.3 per 10(4) involving 1pter and (b) 0.9 +/- 0.4 and 0.8 +/- 0.3 per 10(4) involving 1cen, respectively. The frequency of sperm exhibiting breaks within the 1cen-1q12 region was 14.1 +/- 1.2 per 10(4). Structural aberrations accounted for 71% of the abnormalities detected by sperm ACM, which was significantly higher than numerical abnormalities (P=2x10-8). Our findings also suggest that, for healthy men, (a) sperm carrying postmeiotic chromosomal breaks appear to be more prevalent than those carrying products of premeiotic or meiotic breakage or rearrangements, (b) the high frequency of chromosome breaks measured after "fertilization" by the hamster-egg cytogenetic method already appear to be present and detectable within human sperm by FISH, and (c) there are nonrandom and donor-specific distributions of breakpoint locations within 1q12 in sperm. FISH facilitates the analysis of much larger numbers of sperm than was possible when the hamster-egg method was used. Therefore, FISH-based procedures for simultaneously detecting chromosomal breaks, rearrangements, and numerical abnormalities in sperm may have widespread applications in human genetics, genetic toxicology, and reproductive medicine. 相似文献

Duplications at 15q11.2-q13.3 overlapping the Prader-Willi/Angelman syndrome (PWS/AS) region have been associated with developmental delay (DD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia (SZ). Due to presence of imprinted genes within the region, the parental origin of these duplications may be key to the pathogenicity. Duplications of maternal origin are associated with disease, whereas the pathogenicity of paternal ones is unclear. To clarify the role of maternal and paternal duplications, we conducted the largest and most detailed study to date of parental origin of 15q11.2-q13.3 interstitial duplications in DD, ASD and SZ cohorts. We show, for the first time, that paternal duplications lead to an increased risk of developing DD/ASD/multiple congenital anomalies (MCA), but do not appear to increase risk for SZ. The importance of the epigenetic status of 15q11.2-q13.3 duplications was further underlined by analysis of a number of families, in which the duplication was paternally derived in the mother, who was unaffected, whereas her offspring, who inherited a maternally derived duplication, suffered from psychotic illness. Interestingly, the most consistent clinical characteristics of SZ patients with 15q11.2-q13.3 duplications were learning or developmental problems, found in 76% of carriers. Despite their lower pathogenicity, paternal duplications are less frequent in the general population with a general population prevalence of 0.0033% compared to 0.0069% for maternal duplications. This may be due to lower fecundity of male carriers and differential survival of embryos, something echoed in the findings that both types of duplications are de novo in just over 50% of cases. Isodicentric chromosome 15 (idic15) or interstitial triplications were not observed in SZ patients or in controls. Overall, this study refines the distinct roles of maternal and paternal interstitial duplications at 15q11.2-q13.3, underlining the critical importance of maternally expressed imprinted genes in the contribution of Copy Number Variants (CNVs) at this interval to the incidence of psychotic illness. This work will have tangible benefits for patients with 15q11.2-q13.3 duplications by aiding genetic counseling. 相似文献

Ancient large-scale genome duplications: phylogenetic and linkage analyses shed light on chordate genome evolution 总被引:12,自引:4,他引:8

Paralogous genes from several families were found in four human chromosome
regions (4p16, 5q33-35, 8p12-21, and 10q24-26), suggesting that their
common ancestral region underwent several rounds of large- scale
duplication. Searches in the EMBL databases, followed by phylogenetic
analyses, showed that cognates (orthologs) of human duplicated genes can be
found in other vertebrates, including bony fishes. In contrast, within each
family, only one gene showing the same high degree of similarity with all
the duplicated mammalian genes was found in nonvertebrates (echinoderms,
insects, nematodes). This indicates that large-scale duplications occurred
after the echinoderms/chordates split and before the bony vertebrate
radiation. It has been suggested that two rounds of gene duplication
occurred in the vertebrate lineage after the separation of Amphioxus and
craniate (vertebrates + Myxini) ancestors. Before these duplications, the
genes that have led to the families of paralogous genes in vertebrates must
have been physically linked in the craniate ancestor. Linkage of some of
these genes can be found in the Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis
elegans genomes, suggesting that they were linked in the triploblast
Metazoa ancestor.

Microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) led to the discovery of genetic abnormalities among patients with complex phenotype and normal karyotype. Also several apparently normal individuals have been found to be carriers of cryptic imbalances, hence the importance to perform parental investigations after the identification of a deletion/duplication in a proband. Here, we report the molecular cytogenetic characterization of two individuals in which the microdeletions/duplications present in their parents could have predisposed and facilitated the formation of de novo pathogenic different copy number variations (CNVs). In family 1, a 4-year-old girl had a de novo pathogenic 10.5 Mb duplication at 15q21.2q22.2, while her mother showed a 2.262 Mb deletion at 15q13.2q13.3; in family 2, a 9-year-old boy had a de novo 1.417 Mb deletion at 22q11.21 and a second paternal deletion of 247 Kb at 22q11.23 on the same chromosome 22. Chromosome 22 at band q11.2 and chromosome 15 at band q11q13 are considered unstable regions. We could hypothesize that 15q13.2q13.3 and 22q11.21 deletions in the two respective parents might have increased the risk of rearrangements in their children. This study highlights the difficulty to make genetic counseling and predict the phenotypic consequences in these situations. 相似文献

A 3.5-year-old boy with a de novo tandem duplication 5q11.1----5q15 is reported. Since the physical stigmata of seven liveborn cases with 5q proximal duplications are variable and inconspicuous, a recognizable syndrome could not be delineated. On the contrary, the associated developmental delay seems to be severe in duplications extending into 5q22 and mild in duplications 5q11----q13. 相似文献

Mapping of the human complement factor I gene to 4q25 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

A detailed genetic and physical map of human complement factor I (IF) using somatic cell hybrids, in situ hybridization, and genetic linkage is reported. The gene has been localized to band 4q25. The order GC-INP10-ADH3-EGF-IF-IL2-MNS is proposed for genes on 4q on the basis of genetic and physical mapping techniques. A BclI polymorphism found with the IF probe demonstrated a maternal origin for a de novo deletion of chromosome 4 that was used in physically mapping the gene. The genetic and physical distances around band 4q24 suggest that 1 cM is approximately 1.2 million bp of DNA. This work provides a useful addition to the map of 4q. 相似文献

Cytogenetic analysis of retinoblastoma: evidence for multifocal origin and in vivo gene amplification 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Retinoblastoma (Rb) is an uncommon childhood tumor of the neural retina with a significant genetic component in its etiology. A small proportion of patients have a deletion in chromosome 13 encompassing band 13q14, an observation which permitted the assignment of the RB1 locus to this region. About 20% of Rb tumors exhibit microscopic deletions of band 13q14 or monosomy 13. Trisomy 1q and i(6p) have also been reported in a high percentage of tumors. We analyzed the chromosome complements from direct preparations of 10 Rb tumors derived from seven patients. Modal chromosome numbers ranged from 45 to 48, and occasional duplications of the genomes were noted. In general, the tumors were chromosomally stable, although karyotypic evolution and random chromosome loss were encountered. Consistent abnormalities included trisomy 1q, i(6p), 6q-, and del(13)(q12----14). One patient with bilateral Rb had three tumor clones (two in one eye and one in the other) with chromosome abnormalities unrelated in origin. A second patient with unilateral Rb had two tumor clones with chromosome abnormalities again unrelated in origin. These two patients provide some of the first cytogenetic evidence for the multifocal origin of primary Rb. In the untreated tumor of a third patient, a homogeneously staining region (HSR) was detected in 1p32, indicating gene amplication in vivo; previously, an HSR at this site has been reported in the established Rb cell line Y79. 相似文献

Summary The thyroglobulin gene has been mapped to chromosome band 8q24 by several investigators. This is the band implicated in the causation of Langer-Giedion syndrome (tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome II). We have examined a restriction fragment length polymorphism at the thyroglobulin locus in a patient with Langer-Giedion syndrome and 8q deletion in order to: (1) localize the Langer-Giedion deletion more precisely, (2) define the relative map positions of the thyroglobulin gene and the Langer-Giedion locus. The results indicate that the locus of the thyroglobulin gene is intact in the patient with an interstitial deletion of proximal band 8q24.1 which confirms its more distal localization reported earlier by Bergé-Lefranc et al. (1985). It also assigns the critical region for the causation of Langer-Giedion syndrome to the proximal part of band 8q24, viz. 8q24.11q24.13. 相似文献

In five families with questionable chromosome rearrangements, we identified an interchromosomal insertion by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). In case 1 with a dir ins (5;11)(p14;q14q24) in three generations, the mentally retarded and microcephalic proband showed a 5p14-->pter deletion. In case 2, a duplication (13)(q21.31--> q31.2) combined with a deletion (11)(q14-->q22) segregated from a reciprocal ins(11;13)(q14q122)(q21.32q31.2), causing a mixed phenotype with psychomotor retardation, caput quadratum, choanal atresia, and pes equinovarus. In case 3, a dir ins (18;5)(q21.3;p13.1p14) was associated with spontaneous abortions, in case 4, the proband with mental retardation, microcephaly, and a heart defect showed a pure trisomy of (12)(q13-->q15), which had segregated from a carrier of an ins (18;12)(p11.3;q13q15). In case 5, a duplication of (10)(q26.3-->q25.2) segregated from an inv ins(5;10)(q15;q26.3q25.2), which was passed on directly from a mother to her son,with mental retardation. In all families the elucidation of the insertional translocation (IT) considerably increased the associated genetic risks of carriers. For the review, we collected data from 81 articles on 87 IT probands on ascertainment, origin, familial transmittance, progeny, and genetic risks of IT carriers. We also discussed the recombinant chromosomes and complex rearrangements associated with ITs, and listed chromosome regions occurring solely as deletions, or solely as duplications, or as both to facilitate genotype/phenotype correlations. We conclude that ITs are rare chromosomal rearrangements with an 1:80,000 incidence, of which nearly 80% were referred because of congenital abnormalities and mental retardation. A maternal origin was seen in 59.5%, a paternal origin in 26.6%, and 13.9% were de novo. No notable difference in fertility between male and female IT carriers was noticed. Bias of ascertainment was excluded in 15 familial cases and led to an estimate of the genetic risks for IT carriers of 32.0-36.0%. The mean size of the inserted regions occurring solely as duplications (n=39) measures 0.96% of the haploid autosomal length (HAL), and of regions solely occurring as deletions (n=14) 0.47% HAL. In the families where both aneusomies occurred, the size of the insertions ranged between 0.22 and 1.21% HAL. Overall, the findings fit with the general idea that a surplus of genetic material is tolerated more easily than a deficiency. 相似文献

Two unrelated children were found to have de novo opposite imbalances for distal 14q. One had a 46,XY, del(14)(q24q32) karyotype and exhibited, like three other patients with similar deletions, a distinctive facial appearance including round face, frontal hypertrichosis, thick eyebrows, horizontal narrow palpebral fissures, a short bulbous nose with a flat root, and mild micrognathia. The other had a 46,XX, dir dup(14)(q22----q32) karyotype and stigmata common to patients with comparable duplications, namely high forehead, sparse eyebrows, prominent overlip, gingival hypertrophy, and overriding fingers. Therefore, it is concluded that each of these imbalances originates a distinct syndrome. 相似文献

Extra euchromatic material was found within the major heterochromatic block of chromosome 16 (16qh) in one de novo case and seven members of two families. In contrast to the euchromatic variants of chromosome 9 (9qh), which are derived from pericentromeric euchromatin, molecular cytogenetics confirmed that these duplications were of 16q11.2-->q12.2 in the de novo case, of 16q11.2-->q13 in three members of family 1 and 16q11.2-->q12.1 in four members of family 2. The duplication had arisen as a post-zygotic mitotic event in the mother of family 1 and been transmitted paternally in family 2. An insertional mechanism of origin is proposed for the duplications in case 1 and family 1. Expression at the 16q13 matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2)locus in families 1 and 2 was proportional to genomic copy number and not therefore consistent with position effect silencing due to the flanking blocks of heterochromatin. We conclude that proximal 16q duplications within 16qh are not novel euchromatic variants but associated with a variable phenotype including developmental delay, speech delay, learning difficulties and behavioural problems. The behavioural problems in families ascertained through affected children are much less severe than those encountered in previous patients ascertained as adults. 相似文献
