Duplication 9q34 syndrome.   总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2       下载免费PDF全文
Phenotypic, karyotypic, and developmental homology between affected children of carriers of an inverted insertion (9) (q22.1q34.3q34.1) led to recognition of a new chromosome syndrome: dup 9q34. Individuals with dup 9q34 have slight psychomotor retardation, understand simple directions, and acquire a limited vocabulary. In childhood, many are hyperactive. Clinical features include low birth weight, normal birth length, and initial poor feeding and thriving. Musculo-skeletal systems are affected: there are joint contractures, long thin limbs, and striking arachnodactyly. There is abnormal implantation of the thumb, increased space between the first and second fingers, and excess digital creases. Marfan syndrome was a provisional diagnosis for several cases prior to cytogenetic analysis. Cardiovascular and ocular systems are minimally affected, erythema and heart murmurs occur, and ptosis and strabismus are frequent, but lens dislocation is not observed. Features at birth include: dolichocephaly, facial asymmetry, narrow horizontal palpebral fissures, microphthalmia, prominent nasal bridge, small mouth, thin upper lip with down-turned corners, and slight retrognathia. In older children, retrognathia is diminished and the nose becomes long and narrow. The new culture and chromosome banding techniques enable sorting of cases with the distal dup 9q phenotype into two groups. The cases with a longer dup 9q are more likely to develop with life-threatening congenital anomalies. The cases with the shorter dup 9q34 have a less severe long-term prognosis and will benefit, together with their parents, from special education. Female carriers of the inv ins(9) (q22.1q34.3q34.1) have about a 31% risk in each pregnancy to conceive a fetus affected by the dup 9q34 syndrome. A comparable figure is not yet available for male carriers.  相似文献

We analyzed nine multigenerational families with ascertained affective spectrum disorders in northern Sweden's geographically isolated population of Vasterbotten. This northern Swedish population, which originated from a limited number of early settlers approximately 8,000 years ago, is genetically more homogeneous than outbred populations. In a genomewide linkage analysis, we identified three chromosomal loci with multipoint LOD scores (MPLOD) >/=2 at 9q31.1-q34.1 (MPLOD 3.24), 6q22.2-q24.2 (MPLOD 2.48), and 2q33-q36 (MPLOD 2.26) under a recessive affected-only model. Follow-up genotyping with application of a 2-cM density simple-tandem-repeat (STR) map confirmed linkage at 9q31.1-q34.1 (MPLOD 3.22), 6q23-q24 (MPLOD 3.25), and 2q33-q36 (MPLOD 2.2). In an initial analysis aimed at identification of the underlying susceptibility genes, we focused our attention on the 9q locus. We fine mapped this region at a 200-kb STR density, with the result of an MPLOD of 3.70. Genealogical studies showed that three families linked to chromosome 9q descended from common founder couples approximately 10 generations ago. In this approximately 10-generation pedigree, a common ancestral haplotype was inherited by the patients, which reduced the 9q candidate region to 1.6 Mb. Further, the shared haplotype was observed in 4.2% of patients with bipolar disorder with alternating episodes of depression and mania, but it was not observed in control individuals in a patient-control sample from the Vasterbotten isolate. These results suggest a susceptibility locus on 9q31-q33 for affective disorder in this common ancestral region.  相似文献

A 4-year-old girl with multiple malformations and severe developmental delay has been shown to have a karyotype of 46,XX-9,+rec(9),dup p,inv(9) (q22.1q34.3)mat, with duplication 9pter-q22.1 and deficiency 9q34.3-qter. This case confirms that a stable recombinant chromosome can result from a paracentric inversion. The recombinant was derived by two crossovers, one within the inversion loop and a second outside the inversion loop, between 9q21 and the beginning of the meiotic inversion at 9q22.1. In 87 cells the rec(9) had one Cd-positive primary constriction. In 13 cells the rec(9) had two primary constrictions; in 12 of these cells there was one Cd-positive centromere, and in one of these cells both primary constrictions were Cd-positive. Nuclear projections were observed in 10% of fibroblast interphase cells harvested in situ, suggesting that there was some spindle-fiber activity of the "latent" centromere. In situ hybridization with a centromere-specific probe (p82H) and a satellite III probe (L6) revealed no differences between the two C-band regions of the rec(9) and the normal 9 or inverted 9 chromosomes.  相似文献

C3G, a human guanine nucleotide releasing protein for Ras protein, was mapped to human chromosome 9q34.3 by fluorescence in situ hybridization with Rbanded chromosomes. C3G was originally identified as one of the CRK-binding proteins, similar to c-ab1 (9q34.1). Our result suggests that the downstream factors of Crk are localized in close proximity on chromosome 9.  相似文献

Genomic aberrations of rectal carcinoma, especially DNA copy number changes associated with metastasis were largely unclear. We aim to identify the metastasis associated biomarkers in stage II rectal cancer. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded primary tumor tissues of stage II rectal carcinoma were analyzed by array-based comparative genomic hybridization, and genomic aberrations were identified by Genomic Workbench and SAM software. Copy number changes and mRNA expressions were validated by Real-time PCR in an independent rectal cancer samples. The results showed that the most frequent gains in stage II rectal cancer were at 1q21.2-q23.1, 3p21.31, 11q12.2-q23.3, 12q24.11-q24.31, 12q13.11-q14.1 and losses in 18q11.2-q23, 17q21.33-q22, 13q31.1-q31.3, 21q21.1-q21.3, 8p23.3-p23.1 and 4q22.1-q23. Twenty-two amplifications and five homozygous deletions were also identified. We further found that S100A1 (1q21.3-q23.1), MCM7 (7q22.1) and JUND (19p13.11) were amplified and overexpressed in stage II rectal cancer. Interestingly, the genomic aberrations affected 14 signaling pathways including VEGF signaling pathway and fatty acid metabolism. Most importantly, loss of 13q31.1-q34 and gain of 1q44 were associated with distant metastasis. Our results indicated that these metastasis associated genomic changes may be useful to reveal the pathogenesis of rectal cancer metastasis and identify candidate biomarkers.  相似文献

Genetic gains and losses resulting from DNA strand breakage by ionizing radiation have been demonstrated in vitro and suspected in radiation-associated thyroid cancer. We hypothesized that copy number deviations might be more prevalent, and/or occur in genomic patterns, in tumors associated with presumptive DNA strand breakage from radiation exposure than in their spontaneous counterparts. We used cDNA microarray-based comparative genome hybridization to obtain genome-wide, high-resolution copy number profiles at 14,573 genomic loci in 23 post-Chernobyl and 20 spontaneous thyroid cancers. The prevalence of DNA gains in tumors from cases in exposed individuals was two- to fourfold higher than for cases in unexposed individuals and up to 10-fold higher for the subset of recurrent gains. DNA losses for all cases were low and more prevalent in spontaneous cases. We identified unique patterns of copy variation (mostly gains) that depended on a history of radiation exposure. Exposed cases, especially the young, harbored more recurrent gains that covered more of the genome. The largest regions, spanning 1.2 to 4.9 Mbp, were located at 1p36.32-.33, 2p23.2-.3, 3p21.1-.31, 6p22.1-.2, 7q36.1, 8q24.3, 9q34.11, 9q34.3, 11p15.5, 11q13.2-12.3, 14q32.33, 16p13.3, 16p11.2, 16q21-q12.2, 17q25.1, 19p13.31-qter, 22q11.21 and 22q13.2. Copy number changes, particularly gains, in post-Chernobyl thyroid cancer are influenced by radiation exposure and age at exposure, in addition to the neoplastic process.  相似文献

Splenic marginal zone lymphomas (SMZL) are an uncommon type of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL-B) in which no specific chromosomal translocations have been described. In contrast, the most frequent cytogenetic abnormality is the loss of the long arm of chromosome 7 (7q). Previous reports have located this loss in the 7q32 region. In order to better characterize the genomic imbalances in SMZL, molecular studies were carried out in 73 patients with SMZL. To gain insight into the mapping at 7q a tiling array was also used. The results confirmed the loss of 7q as the most frequent change. In addition, several abnormalities, including 4q22.1, 1q21.3-q22, 6q25.3, 20q13.33, 3q28, 2q23.3-q24.1 and 17p13, were also present. A loss of 7q22.1 at 99925039-101348479 bp was observed in half of the cases. The region of 7q22.1 has not previously been characterised in SMZL. Our results confirmed the presence of a new region of loss on chromosome 7 in these NHL.  相似文献

Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of chromosomal regions is crucial in tumor progression. In this study we assessed the potential of the Affymetrix GeneChip HuSNP mapping assay for detecting genome-wide LOH in prostate tumors. We analyzed two human prostate cell lines, P69SV40Tag (P69) and its tumorigenic subline, M12, and 11 prostate cancer cases. The M12 cells showed LOH in chromosomes 3p12.1-p22.1, 11q22.1-q24.2, 19p13.12, and 19q13.42. All of the prostate cases with informative single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers showed LOH in 1p31.2, 10q11.21, 12p13.1, 16q23.1-q23.2, 17p13.3, 17q21.31, and 21q21.2. Additionally, a high percentage of cases showed LOH at 6p25.1-p25.3 (75%), 8p22-p23.2, and 10q22.1 (70%). Several tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) have been mapped in these loci. These results demonstrate that the HuSNP mapping assay can serve as an alternative to comparative genomic hybridization for assessing genome-wide LOH and can identify chromosomal regions harboring candidate TSGs implicated in prostate cancer.  相似文献

Vinculin is a cytoskeletal protein component of adherens type cell junctions. The gene had been mapped to 10q11.2-qter. We have used a combination of physical and genetic mapping techniques to refine this localization. Hybridization of the vinculin cDNA probe, HV1, to a human-rodent somatic hybrid panel initially suggested a position of either 10q11.2 or 10q22.1-10q23. Genetic recombination mapping in three-generation families with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2) indicated a position distal to D10S22 (10q21.1) in 10q22.1-10q23. This was confirmed by hybridization of the vinculin cDNA to flow-sorted translocation derivative chromosomes containing the q21-qter portion of chromosome 10. We conclude that the vinculin locus maps in 10q22.1-q23, distal to D10S22.  相似文献

Summary Thirteen single-copy, chromosome-21-specific DNA probes were isolated from a recombinant library made from flow-sorted chromosome 21 DNA and regionally mapped using a panel of somatic cell hybrids. Five probes mapped in the 21q21-q22.1 region, six to the 21q22.1-qter region, and one to each of the regions 21q22.1-q22.2 and 21q22.3. Two of these probes, one of which maps in the critical region for Down syndrome, have recently been shown to be expressed at high levels in Down syndrome brain tissue (Stefani et al. 1988). Following preliminary screening for restriction fragment lenght polymorphisms (RFLPs), five polymorphisms were discovered with four of the chromosome 21 DNA probes. A frequent MspI polymorphism detected by one of the probes was used in conjunction with four previously described polymorphic chromosome 21 probes to analyse the origin of nondisjunction in 33 families with a child or fetus with trisomy 21. The parental origin of the additional chromosome 21 was determined in 12 cases: in 9 (75%) of these it was derived from the mother and in the other 3 cases (25%) it was of paternal origin. Cytogenetic analysis of Q-banding heteromorphisms was informative in three of five families tested, and in each case the RFLP results were confirmed. The meiotic stage of nondisjunction was defined with confidence in five families, the results being obtained with pericentromeric RFLP or cytogenetic markers. Recombination between two nondisjoined chromosomes was demonstrated in one family and is consistent with the view that a lack of recombination between chromosome 21 homologues or failure of their conjunction is not the invariable cause of trisomy 21.  相似文献

Background

Asthma and allergy are complex multifactorial disorders, with both genetic and environmental components determining disease expression. The use of molecular genetics holds great promise for the identification of novel drug targets for the treatment of asthma and allergy. Genome-wide linkage studies have identified a number of potential disease susceptibility loci but replication remains inconsistent. The aim of the current study was to complete a meta-analysis of data from genome-wide linkage studies of asthma and related phenotypes and provide inferences about the consistency of results and to identify novel regions for future gene discovery.

Methods

The rank based genome-scan meta-analysis (GSMA) method was used to combine linkage data for asthma and related traits; bronchial hyper-responsiveness (BHR), allergen positive skin prick test (SPT) and total serum Immunoglobulin E (IgE) from nine Caucasian asthma populations.

Results

Significant evidence for susceptibility loci was identified for quantitative traits including; BHR (989 pedigrees, n = 4,294) 2p12-q22.1, 6p22.3-p21.1 and 11q24.1-qter, allergen SPT (1,093 pedigrees, n = 4,746) 3p22.1-q22.1, 17p12-q24.3 and total IgE (729 pedigrees, n = 3,224) 5q11.2-q14.3 and 6pter-p22.3. Analysis of the asthma phenotype (1,267 pedigrees, n = 5,832) did not identify any region showing genome-wide significance.

Conclusion

This study represents the first linkage meta-analysis to determine the relative contribution of chromosomal regions to the risk of developing asthma and atopy. Several significant results were obtained for quantitative traits but not for asthma confirming the increased phenotype and genetic heterogeneity in asthma. These analyses support the contribution of regions that contain previously identified asthma susceptibility genes and provide the first evidence for susceptibility loci on 5q11.2-q14.3 and 11q24.1-qter.  相似文献

Linkage analysis of the nail-patella syndrome.   总被引:4,自引:1,他引:3  
Nail-patella syndrome (NPS) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by dysplasia of nails and patella, decreased mobility of the elbow, iliac horns, and, in some cases, nephropathy. The disorder has been mapped to the long arm of chromosome 9, but the precise localization and identity of the NPS gene are unknown. Linkage analysis in three NPS families, using highly informative dinucleotide repeat polymorphisms on 9q33-q34, confirmed linkage of NPS to this chromosome. Recombinations were detected, by two-point linkage analysis, between NPS and the centromeric markers D9S60 and the gelsolin gene and the telomeric markers D9S64 and D9S66, in one of the families. Haplotype analysis suggested an additional recombination between NPS and the argininosuccinate synthetase (ASS) gene. These results localize the NPS gene to an interval on 9q34.1, distal to D9S60 and proximal to ASS, comprising a genetic distance of approximately 9 cM. This represents a significant refinement in the localization of the NPS gene.  相似文献

Background

Malignant fibrous histiocytomas (MFHs), or undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas, are in general high-grade tumours with extensive chromosomal aberrations. In order to identify recurrent chromosomal regions of gain and loss, as well as novel gene targets of potential importance for MFH development and/or progression, we have analysed DNA copy number changes in 33 MFHs using microarray-based comparative genomic hybridisation (array CGH).

Principal findings

In general, the tumours showed numerous gains and losses of large chromosomal regions. The most frequent minimal recurrent regions of gain were 1p33-p32.3, 1p31.3-p31.2 and 1p21.3 (all gained in 58% of the samples), as well as 1q21.2-q21.3 and 20q13.2 (both 55%). The most frequent minimal recurrent regions of loss were 10q25.3-q26.11, 13q13.3-q14.2 and 13q14.3-q21.1 (all lost in 64% of the samples), as well as 2q36.3-q37.2 (61%), 1q41 (55%) and 16q12.1-q12.2 (52%). Statistical analyses revealed that gain of 1p33-p32.3 and 1p21.3 was significantly associated with better patient survival (P = 0.021 and 0.046, respectively). Comparison with similar array CGH data from 44 leiomyosarcomas identified seven chromosomal regions; 1p36.32-p35.2, 1p21.3-p21.1, 1q32.1-q42.13, 2q14.1-q22.2, 4q33-q34.3, 6p25.1-p21.32 and 7p22.3-p13, which were significantly different in copy number between the MFHs and leiomyosarcomas.

Conclusions

A number of recurrent regions of gain and loss have been identified, some of which were associated with better patient survival. Several specific chromosomal regions with significant differences in copy number between MFHs and leiomyosarcomas were identified, and these aberrations may be used as additional tools for the differential diagnosis of MFHs and leiomyosarcomas.  相似文献

A large number of significant QTL for economically important traits including average daily gain have been located on SSC1q, which, as shown by chromosome painting, corresponds to four human chromosomes (HSA9, 14, 15 and 18). To provide a comprehensive comparative map for efficient selection of candidate genes, 81 and 34 genes localized on HSA9 and HSA14 respectively were mapped to SSC1q using a porcine 7000-rad radiation hybrid panel (IMpRH). This study, together with the cytogenetic map (http://www2.toulouse.inra.fr/lgc/pig/cyto/genmar/htm/1GM.HTM), demonstrates that SSC1q2.1-q2.13 corresponds to the region ranging from 44.6 to 63.2 Mb on HSA14q21.1-q23.1, the region from 86.5 to 86.8 Mb on HSA15q24-q25, the region from 0.9 to 27.2 Mb on HSA9p24.3-p21, the region from 35.1 to 38.0 Mb on HSA9p13, the region from 70.3 to 79.3 Mb on HSA9q13-q21 and the region from 96.4 to 140.0 Mb on HSA9q22.3-q34. The conserved synteny between HSA9 and SSC1q is interrupted by at least six sites, and the synteny between HSA14 and SSC1q is interrupted by at least one site.  相似文献

A female with a de novo tandem duplication of 9q22.2-q31.1 is presented. Molecular delineation of the breakpoints was made by microarray CGH and fluorescent in situ hybridisation. Involvement of 9q22.2-q31.1 seems to be sufficient to produce the characteristic phenotype of partial trisomy 9q syndrome. A discussion on the recognizable clinical features of the condition is presented.  相似文献
