Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome (ARS) is a heterogeneous clinical entity transmitted in an autosomal dominant manner. The main feature, Axenfeld-Rieger Anomaly (ARA), is a malformation of the anterior segment of the eye that can lead to glaucoma and impair vision. Extra-ocular defects have also been reported. Point mutations of FOXC1 and PITX2 are responsible for about 40% of the ARS cases. We describe the phenotype of a patient carrying a deletion encompassing the 4q25 locus containing PITX2 gene. This child presented with a congenital heart defect (Tetralogy of Fallot, TOF) and no signs of ARA. He is the first patient described with TOF and a complete deletion of PITX2 (arr[GRCh37]4q25(110843057-112077858)x1, involving PITX2, EGF, ELOVL6 and ENPEP) inherited from his ARS affected mother. In addition, to our knowledge, he is the first patient reported with no ocular phenotype associated with haploinsufficiency of PITX2. We compare the phenotype and genotype of this patient to those of five other patients carrying 4q25 deletions. Two of these patients were enrolled in the university hospital in Toulouse, while the other three were already documented in DECIPHER. This comparative study suggests both an incomplete penetrance of the ocular malformation pattern in patients carrying PITX2 deletions and a putative association between TOF and PITX2 haploinsufficiency. 相似文献

Chromosome 4q deletion syndrome (4q- syndrome) is a rare condition, with an estimated incidence of 1 in 100,000. Although variable, the clinical spectrum commonly includes craniofacial, developmental, digital, skeletal, and cardiac involvement. Data on the genotype-phenotype correlation within the 4q arm are limited. We present detailed clinical and genetic information by array CGH on 20 patients with 4q deletions. We identified a patient who has a ~465?kb deletion (186,770,069-187,234,800, hg18 coordinates) in 4q35.1 with all clinical features for 4q deletion syndrome except for developmental delay, suggesting that this is a critical region for this condition and a specific gene responsible for orofacial clefts and congenital heart defects resides in this region. Since the patients with terminal deletions all had cleft palate, our results provide further evidence that a gene associated with clefts is located on the terminal segment of 4q. By comparing and contrasting our patients' genetic information and clinical features, we found significant genotype-phenotype correlations at a single gene level linking specific phenotypes to individual genes. Based on these data, we constructed a hypothetical partial phenotype-genotype map for chromosome 4q which includes BMP3, SEC31A, MAPK10, SPARCL1, DMP1, IBSP, PKD2, GRID2, PITX2, NEUROG2, ANK2, FGF2, HAND2, and DUX4 genes. ? 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) and conventional chromosome analysis were performed on a series of 52 patients with classical Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS), suspected WBS, or supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS). In the classical WBS group, 22/23 (96%) had a submicroscopic deletion of the elastin locus on chromosome 7, but the remaining patient had a unique interstitial deletion of chromosome 11 (del(11)(q13.5q14.2)). In the suspected WBS group 2/22 (9%) patients had elastin deletions but a third patient had a complex karyotype including a ring chromosome 22 with a deletion of the long arm (r(22)(p11-->q13)). In the SVAS group, 1/7 (14%) had an elastin gene deletion, despite having normal development and minimal signs of WBS. Overall, some patients with submicroscopic elastin deletions have fewer features of Williams-Beuren syndrome than those with other cytogenetic abnormalities. These results, therefore, emphasise the importance of a combined conventional and molecular cytogenetic approach to diagnosis and suggest that the degree to which submicroscopic deletions of chromosome 7 extend beyond the elastin locus may explain some of the phenotypic variability found in Williams-Beuren syndrome. 相似文献

Microdeletion of the 17q23.2 region has very recently been suggested as a new emerging syndrome based on the finding of 8 cases with common phenotypes including mild-to-moderate developmental delay, heart defects, microcephaly, postnatal growth retardation, and hand, foot, and limb abnormalities. In this report, we describe two new 17q23.2 deletion patients with mild intellectual disability and sensorineural hearing loss. They both had submicroscopic deletions smaller than the common deleted region for the 8 previously described 17q23.2 microdeletion cases. TBX4 was previously suggested as the responsible gene for the heart or limb defects observed in 17q23.2 deletion patients, but the present cases do not have these features despite deletion of this gene. The finding of sensorineural hearing loss in 5 of the 10 cases, including the present cases, with a microdeletion at17q23.2, strongly suggests the presence of a candidate gene for hearing loss within this region. We screened 41 patients with profound sensorineural hearing loss for mutations of TBX2 and detected no mutations. 相似文献

We reviewed 45 patients with a deletion of the long arm of chromosome 4. Forty-one were previous reports (25 terminal deletions and 16 interstitial deletions) and 4 are new cases with terminal deletions. Of the 29 patients with terminal deletions, 18 with deletion at 4q31 and 4 at 4q32----qter had an identifiable phenotype consisting of abnormal skull shape, hypertelorism, cleft palate, apparently low-set abnormal pinnae, short nose with abnormal bridge, virtually pathognomonic pointed fifth finger and nail, congenital heart and genitourinary defects, moderate-severe mental retardation, poor postnatal growth, and hypotonia. Six patients with a deletion at 4q33 and one patient with deletion 4q34 were less severely affected. In general, patients with various interstitial deletions proximal to 4q31 had a phenotype that was less specific, although mental retardation and minor craniofacial anomalies were also present. There were 3 patients with piebaldism and one with Rieger syndrome. We conclude that terminal deletion of chromosome 4q (4q31----qter) appears to produce a distinctive malformation (MCA/MR) syndrome in which the phenotype correlates with the amount of chromosome material missing and which differs from the more variable phenotype associated with interstitial deletions of 4q. 相似文献

We describe a patient with type I diabetes, clinical findings consistent with velocardiofacial syndrome, and a chromosome 22q11.2 deletion. A nine-year-old boy presented with a history of polyuria, polydipsia, weight loss, hyperglycemia, ketosis, serum insulin antibodies, and a low C-peptide level. He had distinctive facial features, learning disabilities, short stature, and a history of glottic web and clubfoot. Although a normal karyotype was obtained, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) revealed a submicroscopic deletion in the DiGeorge/velocardiofacial syndrome critical region at 22q11.2. His maternal half-brother also carried a chromosome 22q11.2 deletion. His mother has similar facial features and hypoparathyroidism. Autoimmune problems associated with chromosome 22q11.2 deletions have been reported. We suggest that the defects in immune regulation due to T-cell deficiency in chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome may predispose to autoimmune disorders, including type I diabetes mellitus. 相似文献

We report clinical, cytogenetic, and molecular cytogenetic studies on four patients with subtle or submicroscopic 7q36 deletions either of de novo origin or resulting from a cryptic parental translocation. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies indicated that in all four patients, the Sonic Hedgehog gene (SHH) and the homeobox gene HLXB9, among others, are comprised in the deletions. Besides mental retardation and short stature, all patients showed only minimal manifestations of the holoprosencephaly (HPE) spectrum and only one displayed symptoms of the Currarino syndrome. Patient 1 had a de novo 7q36.1-qter deletion and showed microcephaly, ptosis, sacral agenesis, tethered cord, but no structural brain anomaly. Patient 2 had a submicroscopic de novo 7q36 deletion detected by FISH, and showed facial and cerebral microsigns of the HPE spectrum. Patient 3 had a 7q36 deletion found by subtelomere FISH testing that was the unbalanced product of a subtle maternal 7q;10q translocation. She presented facial and ocular microsigns, but no structural abnormality of the brain. Patient 4 showed no specific syndromal pattern and was found to have a cryptic unbalanced de novo translocation of the terminal parts of chromosomes 7q and 9p by subtelomere FISH. Patients 2, 3, and 4 represent the first report of a de novo submicroscopic 7q36 deletion, the second report of a familial subtle translocation of 7q36, and the first report of an unbalanced de novo submicroscopic translocation of 7q36, respectively. Our results stress the importance of 7q36 deletion studies by FISH in patients with microsigns of the HPE spectrum. 相似文献

High‐resolution microarray technology has facilitated the detection of submicroscopic chromosome aberrations and characterization of new microdeletion syndromes. We present clinical and molecular data of five patients with previously undescribed overlapping interstitial deletions involving 8q22.2q22.3. All deletions differ in size and breakpoints. Patients 1–4 carry deletions between 5.25 and 6.44 Mb in size, resulting in a minimal deletion overlap of 3.87 Mb (from 100.69 to 104.56 Mb; hg18) comprising at least 25 genes. These patients share similar facial dysmorphisms with blepharophimosis, telecanthus, epicanthus, flat malar region, thin upper lip vermillion, down‐turned corners of the mouth, and a poor facial movement/little facial expression. They have a moderate to severe developmental delay (4/4), absent speech (3/4), microcephaly (3/4), a history of seizures (3/4), postnatal short stature (2/4), and a diaphragmatic or hiatal hernia (2/4). Patient 5 was diagnosed with a smaller deletion of about 1.92 Mb (containing nine genes) localized within the deletion overlap of the other four patients. Patient 5 shows a different facial phenotype and a less severe mental retardation. In Patients 1–4, COH1 is involved in the deletion (in total or in part), but none of them showed clinical features of Cohen syndrome. In two patients (Patients 2 and 4), ZFPM2 (also called FOG2, a candidate gene for congenital diaphragmatic hernias) was partly deleted. We suggest that patients with a microdeletion of 8q22.2q22.3 may represent a clinically recognizable condition characterized particularly by the facial phenotype and developmental delay. More patients have to be evaluated to establish a phenotype–genotype correlation. © 2011 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Clinical phenotypes of and genetic aberrations in three unrelated Japanese patients with Axenfeld–Rieger anomalies and various accompanying malformations of systemic organs are described. GTG‐banded chromosome analysis showed terminal deletions of the short arm of chromosome 6 in two patients and an inversion, inv(6)(p25q14), in the other. FISH and DNA array analyses revealed that the two patients with deletions had 5.0–5.7 Mb and 6.6 Mb 6p terminal deletions, respectively, and FOXC1 was apparently deleted in both patients. In the other patient, the inversion breakpoint at 6p25 was estimated to be in or very close to the FOXC1 locus, but DNA array analysis did not reveal a deletion around the breakpoint. Common extraocular findings in these patients included broad forehead, brachycephaly, hypertelorism, downslanting palpebral fissures, small anteverted nose, and cardiac defects. Two patients also exhibited autistic characteristics. The two patients with deletions exhibited poor muscle tone and developmental delays. Most of these extraocular findings were similar to those found in previous patients with FOXC1 mutations and distinct from those found in patients with PITX2 mutations, who frequently develop umbilical and dental anomalies. We suggest that the psychomotor retardation is a clinical manifestation associated with a deletion of multiple contiguous genes in the 6p terminus and that this phenomenon is similar to the 6p25 deletion syndrome. Understanding the relationship between genetic lesions and the spectrum of extraocular findings in patients with Axenfeld–Rieger anomalies may lead to better clinical management. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

We report the molecular characterization of a patient with mild craniofacial and acallosal central nervous system midline defects and a t(4;14)(q25)(q13) chromosome. With the use of flow sorted chromosomes, the translocation breakpoint junction was defined within a 100 kb region with markers mapping to chromosomes 4q25 and 14q13. Analysis of genomic sequences demonstrated that the breakpoint junction at 14q13 was within the third intron of the 5' untranslated region of the MIPOL1 gene (GI: 22048098). On chromosome 4q25, two breakpoint junctions were found. One was about 47 kb distal to the 5' end of a putative gene (GI: 8923996) with unknown function but with partial similarity to kinases, and a second breakpoint was within the 3' end of the PITX2 gene (GI: 21361182) that resulted in the deletion of exons 6 and 7 of this gene. We also searched for microdeletions in a panel of candidate genes mapping within 2 Mb of the translocation breakpoint junction on chromosomes 4 and 14, however, no evidence for deletions or rearrangements was found. The finding of two breaks on chromosome 4q25 suggests a complex microrearrangement, such as an inversion, in addition to a translocation in this patient. 相似文献

Mental retardation (MR) is not a common feature observed in patients with classical ectodermal dysplasias (EDs). Several genes responsible for EDs and MR have been identified. However, the causation has yet to be identified in a significant number of patients with either ED or MR. Here, we have molecularly characterized a de novo balanced translocation t(1;6)(p22.1;p22.1) in a female patient who had mild features of ED with hypodontia, microcephaly, and cognitive impairment. Mapping of the translocation breakpoints in the patient revealed no obvious causative gene for either ED or MR. Whole genome array CGH analysis unveiled two novel submicroscopic deletions at 2q12.2 and 6q22.3, unrelated to the translocation in the patient. The 2q12.2 deletion contains a known ED gene, ectodysplasin-A receptor (EDAR), and the loss of one copy of this gene is considered to be responsible for the ectodermal phenotype in the patient. It is plausible that a potential autosomal MR gene deleted at 2q12.2 or 6q22.3 is likely the cause of the neurodevelopmental defects in the patient. 相似文献

The inheritance of Angelman's syndrome, a disorder characterised by mental retardation, epilepsy, ataxia, and a happy disposition, is debated because affected sibs occur less frequently than expected with autosomal recessive inheritance. After discovering two unrelated patients with a small deletion of the proximal long arm of chromosome 15, 10 further patients with Angelman's syndrome were reassessed. Five had apparently normal karyotypes, four had a deletion within 15q11-13, and one had a pericentric inversion, inv(15)(p11q13) involving the same chromosomal region. In the latter case, the healthy mother had the same pericentric inversion, indicating that the patient also had a submicroscopic mutation on his other chromosome 15. These data map the Angelman locus to 15q11-13 and suggest that de novo visible deletions (associated with a low recurrence risk) and autosomal recessively inherited cases combine to give an overall sib recurrence risk of less than 25%. 相似文献

PurposeThe goal of our study was to determine whether genomic copy number abnormalities (deletions and duplications) affecting genes involved in eye development contributed to the etiology of anophthalmia, microphthalmia, and coloboma.MethodsThe affected individuals were evaluated for the presence of deletions and duplications in genomic DNA by a very high-resolution array comparative genomic hybridization.ResultsArray analysis of 32 patients detected one case with a deletion encompassing the renal-coloboma syndrome associated gene PAX2. Nonpolymorphic copy number changes were also observed at several candidate chromosomal regions, including 6p12.3, 8q23.1q23.2, 13q31.3, 15q11.2q13.1, 16p13.13, and 20q13.13.ConclusionThis study identified the first patient with the typical phenotype of the renal-coloboma syndrome caused by a submicroscopic deletion of the coding region of the PAX2 gene. The finding suggests that PAX2 deletion testing should be performed in addition to gene sequencing as a part of molecular evaluation for the renal-coloboma syndrome. Array comparative genomic hybridization testing of 32 affected individuals showed that genomic deletions and duplications are not a common cause of nonsyndromic anophthalmia, microphthalmia, or coloboma but undoubtedly contribute to the etiology of these eye anomalies. Therefore, array comparative genomic hybridization testing represents an important and valuable addition to candidate gene sequencing in research and diagnostics of ocular birth defects. 相似文献

Axenfeld‐Rieger syndrome (ARS) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of developmental disorders affecting primarily the anterior segment of the eye, often leading to secondary glaucoma. Patients with ARS may also present with systemic changes, including dental defects, mild craniofacial dysmorphism, and umbilical anomalies. ARS is inherited in an autosomal‐dominant fashion; the underlying defect in 40% of patients is mutations in PITX2 or FOXC1. Here, an overview of the clinical spectrum of ARS is provided. As well, the known underlying genetic defects, clinical diagnostic possibilities, genetic counseling and treatments of ARS are discussed in detail. 相似文献

METHODS AND RESULTS: We identified de novo submicroscopic chromosome 14q11.2 deletions in two children with idiopathic developmental delay and cognitive impairment. Vancouver patient 5566 has a approximately 200 kb deletion and Vancouver patient 8326 has a approximately 1.6 Mb deletion. The Database of Chromosomal Imbalance and Phenotype in Humans using Ensembl Resources (DECIPHER) revealed a third patient with idiopathic developmental delay and cognitive impairment, DECIPHER patient 126, who has a approximately 1.1 Mb deletion of 14q11.2. The deletion of patient 5566 overlaps that of patient 126 and both of these deletions lie entirely within that of patient 8326. All three children have similar dysmorphic features, including widely-spaced eyes, short nose with flat nasal bridge, long philtrum, prominent Cupid's bow of the upper lip, full lower lip and similar auricular anomalies. CONCLUSION: The minimal common deletion region on chromosome 14q11.2 is only approximately 35 kb (from 20.897 to 20.932, University of California at Santa Cruz (UCSC) Genome Browser; build hg18, March 2006) and includes only two genes, SUPT16H and CHD8, which are good candidate genes for the phenotypes. The non-recurrent breakpoints of these patients, the presence of normal copy number variants in the region and the local genomic structure support the notion that this region has reduced stability. 相似文献

Holoprosencephaly (HPE), a common developmental forebrain malformation, is characterized by failure of the cerebrum to completely divide into left and right hemispheres. The etiology of HPE is heterogeneous and a number of environmental and genetic factors have been identified. Cytogenetically visible alterations occur in 25% to 45% of HPE patients and cytogenetic techniques have long been used to study copy number variants (CNVs) in this disorder. The karyotype approach initially demonstrated several recurrent chromosomal anomalies, which led to the identification of HPE-specific loci and, eventually, several major HPE genes. More recently, higher-resolution cytogenetic techniques such as subtelomeric multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification and chromosomal microarray have been used to analyze chromosomal anomalies. By using chromosomal microarray, we sought to identify submicroscopic chromosomal deletions and duplications in patients with HPE. In an analysis of 222 individuals with HPE, a deletion or duplication was detected in 107 individuals. Of these 107 individuals, 23 (21%) had variants that were classified as pathogenic or likely pathogenic by board-certified medical geneticists. We identified multiple patients with deletions in established HPE loci as well as three patients with deletions encompassed by 6q12-q14.3, a CNV previously reported by Bendavid et al. In addition, we identified a new locus, 16p13.2 that warrants further investigation for HPE association. Incidentally, we also found a case of Potocki-Lupski syndrome, a case of Phelan-McDermid syndrome, and multiple cases of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome within our cohort. These data confirm the genetically heterogeneous nature of HPE, and also demonstrate clinical utility of chromosomal microarray in diagnosing patients affected by HPE. 相似文献

The 11q terminal deletion disorder or Jacobsen syndrome is a contiguous gene disorder. It is characterized by psychomotor retardation, cardiac defects, blood dyscrasias (Paris-Trousseau syndrome) and craniofacial anomalies. We report on a female patient with an approximately 10 Mb interstitial deletion with many of the features of Jacobsen syndrome: A congenital heart defect, dysmorphic features, developmental delay, and Paris-Trousseau syndrome. The karyotype of the patient is 46,XX,del(11)(q24.1q24.3). The interstitial deletion was confirmed using FISH probes for distal 11q, and the breakpoints were characterized by microarray analysis. This is the first molecularly characterized interstitial deletion in a patient with the clinical features of Jacobsen syndrome. The deletion includes FLI-1, but not JAM-3, which will help to determine the critical genes involved in this syndrome. 相似文献

Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome resulting from mutation of the FKHL7 gene on chromosome 6p25 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Mutations in the forkhead-like 7 (FKHL7) gene have been recently shown to cause juvenile glaucoma and anterior segment anomalies. We report on a three-generation family with Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome (ARS), harboring an alteration in the FKHL7 gene. Genetic linkage analyses excluded the ARS phenotype from chromosomes 4q25 and 13q14, the locations of the PITX2 and RIEG2 loci, respectively. Evidence of linkage was observed with markers at 6p25, near the FKHL7 gene. Direct sequencing of FKHL7 detected a C67T mutation that segregated with the ARS phenotype in this family, but was not detected in over 80 control chromosomes. This mutation is predicted to cause a nonsense mutation of the FKHL7 protein (Gln23Stop) upstream of the forkhead DNA-binding domain, and thus to generate a truncated FKHL7 protein product. This discovery broadly implicates FKHL7 in ocular, craniofacial, dental, and umbilical development. 相似文献
