A 14-year-old male was referred for evaluation of mental retardation with short stature and dysmorphic features. His karyotype was 46,XY,der(14)t(5;14)(q33;p12)pat, resulting in a pure partial 5q33-q35 trisomy due to the adjacent-1 segregation of a paternal balanced translocation. Paternal blood karyotype revealed a balanced translocation t(5;14)(q33;p12) retaining Ag-Nors. To date, only two cases of pure partial 5q trisomies spanning this region have been reported. Analysis of these cases and the one we report does not allow the delineation of a specific phenotype.  相似文献

Partial trisomy of the distal third of the long arm of chromosome 10 is a well defined but rare syndrome. Most cases result from an unbalanced translocation. Growth retardation, developmental delay and characteristic dysmorphic features are well described in the syndrome. This report includes 2 Egyptian cases with partial 10q trisomy involving different breakpoints. Cases were subjected to full clinical examination and detailed cytogenetic analysis using conventional and FISH studies. Results showed that the karyotype of case 1 was 46,XX,der(7)t(7;10)(p22;q23).ish(wcp7+;wcpl0+) and the karyotype of case 2 was 46,XX,der(7)t(7;10)(p22;q25).ish(wcp7+;wcp 10+). The chromosomal abnormalities in case 1 resulted from a paternal balanced translocation while case 2 resulted from a maternal balanced translocation involving chromosomes 10 and 7 in both cases. The probands' phenotypes were correlated to the breakpoints and compared to previously reported cases with partial trisomy 10q. Both cases had the well characterized phenotype of the distal trisomy of 10q in the form of mental retardation, microcephaly, characteristic dysmorphic facies and limb anomalies as trisomy in both cases involved the 10q25-->qter region. However, case 1 with 10q23-->qter duplication showed more severe clinical manifestations than case 2 with less extensive 10q25-->qter trisomy. These included severe failure to thrive, cardiac involvement and death from respiratory and heart failure. This study confirmed that unbalanced chromosome regions of the long arm of chromosome 10 play an important role in developmental malformations and that a more severe form is associated with involvement of 10q23. It also emphasizes the importance of increasing public awareness regarding these chromosomal rearrangements and the importance of genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis to avoid recurrences and associated family stress. This was clearly demonstrated in the second family in this study as the couple refused any follow up or further investigations due to religious beliefs despite their social and educational level.  相似文献

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.  相似文献

Summary Extra chromosome material on the short arm of chromosome no. 6 (46,XY,6p+) was found in two mentally retarded adult half-brothers with mildly dysmorphic features. The phenotypically normal mother had a balanced translocation between the long arm of chromosome no. 1 and the short arm of chromosome no. 6: 46,XX,t(1;6)(q32;p25). Thus the two affected brothers were trisomic for the long arm segment of chromosome no. 1, distal to q32. These patients, with mildly dysmorphic features and mental retardation, represent the first cases of partial trisomy 1q surviving to adulthood.The clinical and cytogenetic data obtained from eight individuals with partial trisomies for different long arm segments of chromosome no. 1 suggest that partial trisomy of the distal two-thirds of the long arm is characterized by severe malformations, growth retardation, and early death. Conversely, partial trisomy for the distal one-third of the long arm is associated with milder malformations and longer survival time as well as growth and mental retardation.  相似文献

A del(13)(q13q21.1) was found in a patient with bilateral retinoblastoma and mental retardation. The father was carrier of an ins(16;13)(q12.2;q13q21.1) which also was present in several other family members, and responsible for another case of del (13q)-retinoblastoma and two cases of trisomy for the inserted segment. This second del(13q) patient was also carrier of a balanced t(11;22).  相似文献

Summary An infant with karyotype 46,XY,der(8),t(3;8)(q21;p23) is presented. The presence of trisomy 3q21qter syndrome is suspected on the basis of comparison of the clinical and laboratory findings of this patient with those of cases that have been reported as partial 3q trisomy. The common phenotypic features of this syndrome include growth failure and mental or developmental retardation, hypotonia, persistent lanugo, distorted head, congenital glaucoma, short and upturned nose, prominent maxilla, micrognathia, short, webbed neck, short limbs, retroflexed third and fourth toes, cutaneous syndactyly of the second, third and fourth toes, and elevated galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase activity in the red blood cells.  相似文献

We report a severely mentally retarded, dysmorphic girl aged 7 years with a 47,XX, +der(18), t(10;18)(p11.2;q11.2)mat. The phenotype of our patient is compared with 6 cases of trisomy 10p and 10 cases of trisomy 18q- from the literature. The short trisomic segment 10pter-10p11 appears to affect more the phenotype than the trisomic segment 18qter-q11.  相似文献

Finding the diagnosis in children with mental retardation and a normal karyotype, whether or not associated with dysmorphic features, is important for defining an eventual syndrome and for genetic counselling of the families. Telomeric re-arrangements may be a common and underestimated-to-date cause of non-syndromic mental retardation. Using a FISH-based approach combining subtelomeric probes, we report the detection of 4 cases of cryptic translocations t(2;10)(p25.3;q26.3), t(4;17)(p16.2;q25), t(4;20)(p16.2;q13) and t(5;7)(p15.3;q36) associated with MR and dysmorphic features. We discuss the usefulness of subtelomeric FISH in children with unexplained delayed psychomotor development, when the genetic cause remains unknown and the karyotype is normal.  相似文献

We describe the 11th case of a de novo partial trisomy of the long arm of chromosome 4, with the extra segment spanning from 4q27 to 4q35. The aberration resulted from an unbalanced translocation of material from 4q to the short arm of chromosome 7, as evident from fluorescent in situ hybridization. Microsatellite analysis revealed the extra material to originate from the father. The karyotype was interpreted as 46,XX,der(7)t(4;7)(q27;p22). The patient is a 13-year-old girl with severe mental retardation, growth retardation, hearing impairment as well as minor foot, thumb and facial anomalies. Although the extent of the aberration varies between the reported patients, there are nevertheless features in common, suggestive of a trisomy 4q syndrome. The clinical findings most frequently reported are: mental retardation, seizures, microcephaly, hearing impairment and growth retardation, as well as epicanthic folds, high/broad/depressed nasal bridge, malformed ears, tooth and thumb anomalies. Almost the entire long arm of chromosome 4, except band q11, has been involved in trisomies/duplications, but 4q27 and 4q31 seem to be preferentially engaged in the trisomy 4q syndrome.  相似文献

Partial duplication of 17 long arm   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Three subjects from 2 unrelated families with partial duplication of 17q, derived from a reciprocal parental translocation between chromosomes 11 and 17 with different breakpoints, are described. A female patient from one family with a 46,XX,-11,+der(11),t(11;17)(q24;q23.2)pat chromosome complement had died at 2 months of age. In the second family, a male propositus and a subsequent fetus, identified by cytogenetic prenatal diagnosis, showed a 46,XY,-11,+der(11),t(11;17)(q2505,q24.3) mat chromosome complement. Twelve other cases involving partial duplication of chromosome 17 have been reported, 11 of these derived from a balanced translocation, and 1 was a duplication. All these cases showed psychomotor and mental retardation, cranial contour anomalies, micrognathia, bulbous nose, short neck, skeletal anomalies, and CNS defects. The phenotypic and clinical observations in the three subjects of this report are compared with previously reported findings.  相似文献

Described is an infant with partial trisomy 17q and monosomy 9p [46,XX,-9,+der(9)t(9;17)(p21;q23)] due to adjacent-1 segregation of a maternal balanced reciprocal translocation. Characteristic clinical features of both partial 17q trisomy and monosomy 9p are present, but the former syndrome is less recognisable in this infant than in previously reported cases due to the concomitant 9p monosomy.  相似文献

A 10 10/12-year-old boy with a de novo t(11;15)(q25;q23) leading to trisomy 15q23----qter was studied. The clinical features were compatible with other cases of distal trisomy 15q. The critical segment for this trisomy is tentatively assigned to bands 15q25----qter.  相似文献

Partial trisomy for the distal part of the short arm of chromosome 20 reported in a girl aged 11/2 years with typical craniofacial dysmorphies and psychomotor retardation. The trisomy resulted from a paternal translocation t(14;20) (q32.3;p11.1). The review of 25 cases of partial trisomy 20p showed that most cases (22 : 25) were due to parental translocations. Predominant involvement of small chromosomes in translocations with chromosome 20 was also detected.  相似文献

Partial Trisomy 14q is a rare chromosomal disorder that mostly results from a parental translocation. We report here a newborn boy with partial trisomy 14q and dysmorphic features that are compatible with previously reported cases. Conventional cytogenetic analysis revealed an extra chromosomal segment at the end of the short arm of chromosome 4. In order to determine the origin of this chromosome region we used subtelomeric FISH technique. Based on the results of these cytogenetic studies and the physical examination, this dysmorphic case was diagnosed as partial trisomy of 14q and his karyotype determined as 46 XY, der(4)t(4;14)(p16;q32) resulting from a balanced maternal translocation identified as 46,XX, t(4;14)(p16;q32).  相似文献

Summary Two cases of partial trisomy 8q are presented. Common clinical features included severe mental and physical retardation, a prominent and short forehead, widely set mongoloid eyes, broad, flat nose with short septum, short upper lip, misshapen ears, a funnel chest, hypertrichosis of the back, coxa valga, and short fingers with brachymesophalangy and clinodactyly of the little fingers. Moreover, Case 1 had a frontal meningocele and bilateral talipes equinovarus, and Case 2 had a ventricular septal defect. The chromosome aberration in the two girls arose from a maternal balanced translocation, t(8;18) (q2309;p113). Since the major clinical features of mosaic trisomy 8 are absent in the two girls and in other cases of partial trisomy, both for the distal segment of the lang arm and for the short arm of chromosome 8, it is concluded that trisomy of the proximal part of the long arm of chromosome 8 causes most of the clinical findings of trisomy 8 mosaicism syndrome.  相似文献

Summary A trisomy of the distal long arm of chromosome 15 (q21qter) resulting in similar phenotypic and developmental abnormalities in two related children (a boy and a girl) is described. The chromosome defect was due to malsegregation of a balanced translocation (5;15)(p14;q21) in one of the parents. It was inherited in four generations and accompanied by recurrent miscarriages. Comparison of these patients with four previously published cases of trisomy 15q dist reveals a pattern of common features including: microdolichocephaly with characteristic strikingly protuberant occiput and predominance of the visceral over the cerebral cranium; peculiar facial dysmorphism—narrow antimongoloid palpebral fissures; large, malformed, low-set ears; micrognathy; long philtrum; short neck; cardiopathy; profound encephalopathy with lack of suck and swallow reflexes; and no growth retardation.  相似文献

We report a male patient with a karyotype of 46,XY, der(4)t(1;4)(q42.1;q35.1) inherited from a maternal balanced translocation involving chromosome 1q and 4q. The boy had corpus callosum dysgenesis, laryngomalacia, tracheobronchus, facial dysmorphism, simian creases, and developmental retardation. The first three features are unique compared to previous literature reports on distal partial trisomy 1q. This case report allows a further delineation of the distal partial trisomy 1q syndrome.  相似文献

Partial trisomy for the long arm of chromosome 15 was detected in a 21-year-old girl with severe growth and mental retardation. A balanced reciprocal translocation - t(7;15)(q35;q14) - is present in the mother.  相似文献

A 4-year-old boy with partial trisomy 11q resulting from malsegregation of a maternal translocation, t(11;22)(q23.1;q11.1), exhibits the following malformations: severe mental deficiency; growth retardation and hypotonia; brachycephaly with flattened occiput and forehead; facial dysmorphia; pre-auricular fistula. These features are in good agreement with the syndrome recently described for partial trisomy 11q. The translocation appears to be identical in that in three other families already reported.  相似文献
