Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) analysis was performed on both a pre- and post-chemotherapy hepatoblastoma from a 24-month-old female patient. The diagnostic sample obtained from a tru-cut biopsy was a mixed epithelial-mesenchymal tumor with both fetal and embryonal patterns present. In contrast, the post-chemotherapy tumor exhibited a prominent anaplastic large cell population focally reminiscent of pleomorphic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). CGH analysis indicated that there were similarities as well as differences in the gains and losses of genetic material in each tumor. The diagnostic sample had gains of chromosome 1q, 2, 2(q31q33), 7, 8q, 12(q15q22), 17q and 20 material, while the post-chemotherapy tumor had gains of 1q, 2, 7, 8q, 10, 17q and 20 material. In addition, the pre- and post-chemotherapy samples may have incurred loss of chromosome 17p material. The main differences between the two samples involved localized gain of 2(q31q33) and 12(q15q22) in the pre-chemotherapy sample, and gain of chromosome 10 material in the post-chemotherapy tumor. The patient subsequently developed metastatic nodules in her lungs, the histology of which was identical in pattern to the diagnostic pattern, and appeared to have localized gain of 2(q31q33) and 12(q15q22). These results are consistent with published results that gain of chromosome 8q and 20 are associated with an unfavorable prognosis. 相似文献

High levels of low-molecular-mass complement component C1q (LMM-C1q), a haemolytically inactive form of C1q, are found in serum of individuals with inherited complete (functional) C1q deficiency and in serum of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, whereas lower levels are present in normal serum [Hoekzema, Hannema, Swaak, Paardekooper & Hack (1985) J. Immunol. 135, 265-271]. To investigate whether LMM-C1q is a (by-)product of C1q synthesis or the result of degradation of C1q, cultures of blood monocytes and of alveolar macrophages, which secrete functional C1q, were studied. A considerable portion of C1q-like protein secreted by these cells was found to be LMM-C1q. In contrast with the C1q fragments that resulted from degradation of normal C1q during phagocytosis, culture-derived LMM-C1q appeared to be identical with LMM-C1q found in serum, as judged by sedimentation behaviour, subunit structure and recognition by poly- and mono-clonal antibodies raised against C1q. The presence of LMM-C1q in cytoplasmic organelles compatible with the Golgi apparatus and the inability to generate LMM-C1q by impeding hydroxylation and triple-helix formation of C1q further argues against degradation as its source. Monocyte cultures of homozygous probands from two families with complete functional C1q deficiency reflected the abnormalities in serum, i.e. absence of functional C1q, but increased levels of LMM-C1q. By contrast, secretion of C1q and LMM-C1q by cells from healthy individuals was clearly co-ordinate, indicating that LMM-C1q in serum may provide a unique marker of C1q synthesis in vivo. 相似文献

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a disorder primarily characterized by capillary-venous vascular malformations associated with altered limb bulk and/or length. We report the identification of a balanced translocation involving chromosomes 8q22.3 and 14q13 in a patient with a vascular and tissue overgrowth syndrome consistent with KTS. We demonstrated that translocation t(8;14)(q22.3;q13) arose de novo. These data suggest that a pathogenic gene for a vascular and tissue overgrowth syndrome (KTS) may be located at chromosome 8q22.3 or 14q13. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis was used to define the breakpoint on chromosome 8q22.3 to a <5-cM interval flanked by markers AFMA082TG9 and GATA25E10, and the 14q13 breakpoint within a 1-cM region between STSs WI-6583 and D14S989. This study provides a framework for the fine-mapping and ultimate cloning of a novel vascular gene at 8q22.3 or 14q13. 相似文献

We report on a moderately mentally retarded 12-year-old boy of short stature showing the most complex chromosomal rearrangement (CCR) within a single chromosome ever described. A de novo derivative chromosome 21 was recognized in GTG-banding shortly after birth. However, the nature of the rearrangement remained obscure up to the application of the chromosome 21-specific centromere-near multicolor-FISH (subcenM-FISH) probe set and of six selected locus-specific probes along chromosome 21. An unbalanced 9-break-event was uncovered with breakpoints in 21p13, 21p13-->12, 21q11.2, 21q21.1, 21q22.11, 21q22.11, 21q22.12, 21q22.22 and 21q22.3. A deletion of 21q22.11 was detected by application of the BAC probe bk249H10. The karyotype can be described as 46,XY,der(21)(:p13-->p1213::q22.3-->q22.22:: q11.2-->p1213::q11.2-->q21.1::q22.11-->q21.1::q22.12--> q22.22::p13-->p13). The clinical signs can either be due to gene inactivation in connection with structural changes at the break and fusion regions, to the building of new fusion genes within the CCR and/or to the deletion of genes in 21q22.11. 相似文献

A direct interaction of actin with C1q was demonstrated by two in vitro assays using purified human C1q and actins from rabbit skeletal muscle, chicken gizzard muscle and ascaris body wall. Every actin gave rise to a precipitation line with human C1q in agarose gel diffusion. A direct binding of actin with human C1q was ascertained by a binding assay system using radio-labelled rabbit actin and paper discs coated with human C1q. This binding of rabbit actin to C1q was inhibited by addition of unlabelled homologous and heterologous actins in the assay system. Results indicated that such interactions of actins with the human C1q were beyond species specificity. 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

We analyzed a cohort of 61 follicular lymphomas (FL) with an abnormal G-banded karyotype by spectral karyotyping (SKY) to better define the chromosome instability associated with the t(14;18)(q32;q21) positive and negative subsets of FL and histologic grade. In more than 70% of the patients, SKY provided additional cytogenetic information and up to 40% of the structural abnormalities were revised. The six most frequent breakpoints in both SKY and G-banding analyses were 14q32, 18q21, 3q27, 1q11-q21, 6q11-q15 and 1p36 (15-77%). SKY detected nine additional sites (1p11-p13, 2p11-p13, 6q21, 8q24, 6q21, 9p13, 10q22-q24, 12q11-q13 and 17q11-q21) at an incidence of >10%. In addition to the known recurring translocations, t(14;18)(q32;q21) [70%], t(3;14)(q27;q32) [10%], t(1;14)(q21;q32) [5%] and t(8;14)(q24;q32) [2%] and their variants, 125 non-IG gene translocations were identified of which four were recurrent within this series. In contrast to G-banding analysis, SKY revealed a greater degree of karyotypic instability in the t(14;18) (q32;q21) negative subset compared to the t(14;18)(q32;q21) positive subset. Translocations of 3q27 and gains of chromosome 1 were significantly more frequent in the former subset. SKY also allowed a better definition of chromosomal imbalances, thus 37% of the deletions detected by G-banding were shown to be unbalanced translocations leading to gain of genetic material. The majority of recurring (>10%) imbalances were detected at a greater (2-3 fold) incidence by SKY and several regions were narrowed down, notably at gain 2p13-p21, 2q11-q21, 2q31-q37, 12q12-q15, 17q21-q25 and 18q21. Chromosomal abnormalities among the different histologic grades were consistent with an evolution from low to high grade disease and breaks at 6q11-q15 and 8q24 and gain of 7/7q and 8/8q associated significantly with histologic progression. This study also indicates that in addition to gains and losses, non-IG gene translocations involving 1p11-p13, 1p36, 1q11-q21, 8q24, 9p13, and 17q11-q21 play an important role in the histologic progression of FL with t(14;18)(q32;q21) and t(3q27). 相似文献

The enzymatic activity of cystathionine beta synthase has been studied in fibroblasts of nine patients with regular trisomy 21. An excess of CBS activity was found in trisomy 21 with a trisomy 21/normal ratio equal to 1.66. A 1.04 ratio was found in 21q21----21 p ter monosomy; a 1.04 and 0.99 ratio was found in two 21 qter----21q22.3 monosomies; a 1.14 ratio in 21 qter----21q22 monosomy; a 0.89 ratio in a 21q21----21 pter trisomy; an excess of CBS activity was found in a 21q22.1 ----21q21 trisomy with a 1.57 ratio. These results show a gene dosage effect in human fibroblasts trisomic for chromosome 21 and suggest the assignment of human CBS locus between 21q22.1 and 21q21. 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

In cross-sectional studies autoantibodies against complement C1q (anti-C1q) were found to be highly associated with active lupus nephritis. The aim of this retrospective study was to determine the value of anti-C1q as follow-up marker of disease activity and renal involvement in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Fifty-two patients with SLE and a minimum of three anti-C1q measurements during follow-up were analyzed. Anti-C1q levels correlated with global disease activity scores. In subgroup analyses, patients without renal involvement did not show a significant correlation between anti-C1q levels and disease activity. In contrast, in patients with renal involvement, anti-C1q levels correlated well with global disease activity. In addition, a positive correlation with the urine protein-to-creatinine ratio and anti-dsDNA antibody levels as well as a negative correlation with complement levels was observed. Anti-C1q antibodies were found to strongly correlate with parameters of SLE disease activity during follow-up, in particular with regard to renal involvement. 相似文献

When supplied to human leukocytes grown in complete medium (RPMI 1640), DAPI, a nonintercalating compound specific for the AT bases of DNA, induces the appearance of three common fragile sites (CFRA) mapped at 1q42, 2q31, and 7p22. The same treatment with DAPI in a medium deficient in folic acid and thymidine (199 M) considerably increases the expression of these sites and induces the appearance of a further 16 CFRA sites at 1q24, 2p25, 4p16, 4q25, 5p15.3, 6p21.3, 6p25, 6q13, 9p24, 16p13.3, 16q23, 17q21, 18q23, 20q13.1, 21q21, and Xq28. The results point to the existence of a synergism between DAPI and thymidylate-stress culture conditions in inducing site-specific chromosome damage. The results also agree with the hypothesis that DAPI-induced CFRA sites are DNA late-replicating chromosomal areas rich in AT bases. 相似文献

Chromosome 18 abnormalities rank among the most common autosomal anomalies with 18q being the most frequently affected. A deletion of 18q has been attributed to microcephaly, mental retardation, short stature, facial dysmorphism, myelination disorders, limb and genitourinary malformations and congenital aural atresia. On the other hand, duplications of 18q have been associated with the phenotype of Edwards syndrome. Critical chromosomal regions for both phenotypes are contentious. In this report, we describe the first case of an 11-year old male with a combined interstitial duplication 18q22.1, triplication 18q22.1q22.2 and terminal deletion 18q22.2q23 with phenotypic features of isolated 18q deletion syndrome and absence of phenotypic features characteristic of Edwards syndrome despite duplication of the suggested critical region. This report allows for reevaluation of proposed critical intervals for the phenotypes in deletion 18q syndrome and Edwards syndrome. 相似文献

Complex chromosome rearrangements (CCRs) are extremely rare but often associated with mental retardation, congenital anomalies, or recurrent spontaneous abortions. We report a de novo apparently balanced CCR involving chromosomes 3 and 12 and a two-way translocation between chromosomes 11 and 21 in a woman with mild intellectual disability, obesity, coarse facies, and apparent synophrys without other distinctive dysmorphia or congenital anomalies. Molecular analysis of breakpoints using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with region-specific BAC clones revealed a more complex character for the CCR. The rearrangement is a result of nine breaks and involves reciprocal translocation of terminal chromosome fragments 3p24.1→pter and 12q23.1→qter, insertion of four fragments of the long arm of chromosome 12: q14.1→q21?, q21?→q22, q22→q23.1, and q23.1→q23.1 and a region 3p22.3→p24.1 into chromosome 3q26.31. In addition, we detected a ~0.5-Mb submicroscopic deletion at 3q26.31. The deletion involves the chromosome region that has been previously associated with Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) in which a novel gene NAALADL2 has been mapped recently. Other potential genes responsible for intellectual deficiency disrupted as a result of patient’s chromosomal rearrangement map at 12q14.1 (TAFA2), 12q23.1 (METAP2), and 11p14.1 (BDNF). 相似文献

BackgroundThere is variability in clinical outcome for patients with apparently the same stage colorectal cancer (CRC). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) mapping to chromosomes 1q41, 3q26.2, 6p21, 8q23.3, 8q24.21, 10p14, 11q13, 11q23.1, 12q13.13, 14q22, 14q22.2, 15q13.3, 16q22.1, 18q21.1, 19q13.11, 20p12, 20p12.3, 20q13.33 and Xp22 have robustly been shown to be associated with the risk of developing CRC. Since germline variation can also influence patient outcome the relationship between these SNPs and patient survivorship from CRC was examined.MethodsAll enrolled into the National Study of Colorectal Cancer Genetics (NSCCG) were genotyped for 1q41, 3q26.2, 6p21, 8q23.3, 8q24.21, 10p14, 11q13, 11q23.1, 12q13.13, 14q22, 14q22.2, 15q13.3, 16q22.1, 18q21.1, 19q13.11, 20p12, 20p12.3, 20q13.33 and xp22 SNPs. Linking this information to the National Cancer Data Repository allowed patient genotype to be related to survival.ResultsThe linked dataset consisted of 4,327 individuals. 14q22.22 genotype defined by the SNP rs4444235 showed a significant association with overall survival. Specifically, the C allele was associated with poorer observed survival (per allele hazard ratio 1.13, 95% confidence interval 1.05–1.22, P = 0.0015).ConclusionThe CRC susceptibility SNP rs4444235 also appears to exert an influence in modulating patient survival and warrants further evaluation as a potential prognostic marker. 相似文献

We report a child with mental retardation, brain anomalies and congenital heart defect. His karyotype, after G-banding and FISH with a whole chromosome probe for chromosome 11 and a locus-specific probe for the MLL gene, was 46,XY,dup(11)(q23q23).ish dup(11)(q23q23)(wcp11+, MLL++) de novo; i.e., he had a pure partial 11q23 duplication. Clinical and cytogenetic findings of the present case were compared with the 7 previously reported cases with pure partial trisomy 11q; in 6/8 cases the region 11q23 was involved. We conclude that the scarce number of cases and their heterogeneity do not allow to establish a reliable genotype-phenotype correlation. 相似文献

In this report we describe the prenatal diagnosis of a double autosomal trisomy (1q21.2----qter and 14pter----q13) in a female fetus with nuchal oedema, microphthalmia of the left eye and craniofacial dysmorphism. Cytogenetic examination of the parents revealed an autosomal reciprocal 1q/14q translocation with karyotype: 46,XX,t(1;14)(q21.2;q13) in the mother. 相似文献

Summary A 7-month-old male child with a de novo, seemingly belanced reciprocal 5p/16q translocation and karyotype 46,XY,t(5;16) (p14;q21), resulting from a maternal meiotic error, is described. The clinical findings in this patient are strikingly similar to those in the only patient with partial deletion 16q hitherto described, [del(16)(q21)], indicating that during the 5p/16q rearrangement, 16q material was lost and suggesting that partial or total deletion of the long arm of chromosome 16 distal to band q21 is accompanied by a distinct clinical phenotype. 相似文献

A male infant with partial duplication of the long arm of chromosome 11 (11q22----qter) is described with a hitherto unreported translocation. In most cases 11q trisomy is associated with 11q/22q translocation and a 3:1 meiotic disjunction with 47 chromosomes. In a few cases the 11q translocation is associated with a partial deletion of other autosomes and a total of 46 chromosomes. In the present case, translocation to 9p is involved and no apparent deletion of 9p was noted, providing an opportunity to delineate the phenotypic features due to duplication of 11q. A comparison is made between the findings of partial 11q trisomy and 11q/22q translocation. 相似文献

We describe a girl with a mosaic isodicentric chromosome 18q with discrete features of trisomy 18. She presented with prenatal growth retardation, prominent occiput, small face, high nasal bridge, large nose, thin lips, a perimembranous ventricular septal defect, and subsequent slow psychomotor development and slow growth. Amosaic isopseudodicentric chromosome 18q was detected in cultured lymphocytes: mos 46,XX,psu idic(18)(q23)[74]/ 46,XX[26]. Monosomy of the distal end of 18q23 could not be confirmed by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with RP 1l-565D23, one of the most telomere located probes of 18q23. Isopseudodicentric chromosome 18q is very rare. Most cases are mosaics. The phenotype varies. More or less distinct features of trisomy 18 and monosomy 18q can be found depending on the degree of mosaicism and the breakpoint in 18q. 相似文献
