We present clinical data on 33 subjects with additional copies of the Prader-Willi-Angelman critical region (PWACR) contained in a supernumerary marker chromosome (SMC). Twenty-three subjects had a typical large non-mosaic SMC(15) containing two copies of the PWACR. They showed a variable but generally severe phenotype of learning disability and autism, with seizures in approximately two-thirds. The other 10 differed from this typical pattern in respect of mosaicism, variation in copy number, or arrangement of the PWACR within the SMC or number of SMC per cell. Clinical severity increased with the number of additional copies of the PWACR and decreased with mosaicism for a normal cell line. There was a trend for a larger number of seizures to be associated with more severe learning disability. Three subjects with interstitial triplications of 15q11-q13 showed a range of phenotypes similar to those of the typical large SMC(15). All additional copies of the PWACR in this series were maternally-derived. FISH and molecular data localizing the breakpoints of the rearrangements have been previously published or are included in this report. No correlations were found between specific clinical features and variations in breakpoints proximal and distal to the PWACR. 相似文献

We report the first case of hexasomy 12p mosaicism due to 2 copies of an apparent i(12p) [46,XX/48,XX, +i(12p),+i(12p)] In every cell that contained the i(12p), 2 copies of the marker were found. The hexasomy was found in amniocytes (16%) and skin fibroblasts (95%) but not in peripheral blood lymphocytes. The chromosomal origin of the marker was confirmed with the use of in situ hybridization of alpha-satellite specific for the centromere of chromosome 12. The present case was diagnosed following chromosome analysis for anomalies on ultrasound. The hexasomy 12p patient showed striking phenotypic similarities with severely affected tetrasomy 12p cases and died shortly after birth. We propose that the more severe presentation of this case is due to the 4 extra copies of 12p. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

We present a family with a Robertsonian translocation (RT) 15;21 and an inv(21)(q21.1q22.1) which was ascertained after the birth of a child with Down syndrome. Karyotyping revealed a translocation trisomy 21 in the patient. The mother was a carrier of a paternally inherited RT 15;21. Additionally, she and her mother showed a rare paracentric inversion of chromosome 21 which could not be observed in the Down syndrome patient. Thus, we concluded that the two free chromosomes 21 in the patient were of paternal origin. Remarkably, short tandem repeat (STR) typing revealed that the proband showed one paternal allele but two maternal alleles, indicating a maternal origin of the supernumerary chromosome 21. Due to the fact that chromosome analysis showed structurally normal chromosomes 21, a re-inversion of the free maternally inherited chromosome 21 must have occurred. Re-inversion and meiotic segregation error may have been co-incidental but unrelated events. Alternatively, the inversion or RT could have predisposed to maternal non-disjunction. 相似文献

Derivatives of chromosome 15, often referred to as inv dup(15), represent the most common supernumerary marker chromosome (SMC). SMC(15)s can be classified into two major groups according to their length: small SMC(15) and large ones. Depending on the amount of euchromatin, the carriers may either present with a normal phenotype or with a recognizable syndrome. Here we describe a patient with severe mental retardation, epilepsy, dysmorphic features and pigmentary dysplasia. His karyotype was 47,XY,+mar[41]/46,XY[9]. Chromosomal fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) showed the SMC to be originating from chromosome 15, dicentric and containing four copies of the Prader-Willi/Angelman Syndrome Critical Region (PWACR), including the OCA2 gene. Molecular studies indicated that it is maternally derived. This report supports the previous observations assuming that severity of phenotype in patients with SMC(15) depends on the dosage of the PWACR and that skin pigmentation is correlated to OCA2 gene copy number. 相似文献

In this report, we describe a 7-year-old child with mild mental retardation, developmental delay, and learning disabilities. His karyotype contained a rearrangement of chromosome 13, which appeared to include a duplication of 13q31-qter and a deletion of 13p12-pter regions. The chromosomal origin of the additional material was confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using a whole chromosome painting probe specific for chromosome 13. Family studies showed that his mother carried a balanced inversion of chromosome 13 and that his half-brother carried the balanced pericentric inversion of chromosome 13 from his mother as well as another structural rearrangement involving chromosome 13 presumably from his father. The findings from this study suggested that the proband's abnormal 13 resulted from an unbalanced crossing-over between the normal and maternal inverted chromosome 13. 相似文献

In this study, we report a familial inversion of chromosome 18, inv(18)(p11.31q21.33), in both members of a consanguineous couple. Their first child had inherited one balanced pericentric inversion along with a recombinant chromosome 18 resulting in dup(18q)/del(18p), and had mild dysmorphic features in the absence of mental and developmental retardation. The second child had received two recombinant chromosomes 18, from the mother a derivative chromosome 18 with dup(18p)/del(18q) and from the father a derivative chromosome 18 with dup(18q)/del(18p). The aberration was prenatally detected; however, as the two opposite aneuploidies were thought to compensate each other, the family decided to carry on with the pregnancy, knowing that uniparental disomy for the segments outside the inversion could have an adverse influence on the development of the child. Uniparental disomy was confirmed by SNP arrays. The child, who has been followed up until the age of 20 months, is healthy and normal. It seems to be the first reported case with two opposite recombinant chromosomes that compensate each other and lead to segmental uniparental disomy for two segments on the chromosome, one maternal and the other paternal. 相似文献

Detection of a 15q deletion in a child with Angelman syndrome by cytogenetic analysis and flow cytometry 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A proximal 15q deletion, del(15) (q11:q13), was detected in a child with Angelman syndrome by cytogenetic analysis of peripheral lymphocytes. The chromosomes of both parents appeared normal. Flow karyotype analysis carried out on lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from the child and her parents confirmed the presence of a de novo 15 deletion. The estimated size of the deleted segment ranged from 6.1-9.5% of chromosome 15 (approximately 6-9.3 million base pairs). The parental origin of the deleted chromosome could not be resolved by flow cytometry, but cytogenetic evidence suggested that it was derived from the smaller chromosome 15 homologue in the mother. 相似文献

We report a familial case with a proximal interstitial deletion of chromosome 21q [del(21q)]. Although the mother in the
family was phenotypically normal, her first child was affected with both sensorineural hearing loss and moderate mental retardation,
and the second affected child had mild mental retardation but not sensorineural hearing loss. We determined breakpoints of
the del(21q) in the mother and her two affected children by fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis using 45 DNA clones
and the molecular analysis using 21 DNA markers. The proximal breakpoint of the del(21q) was located at a region between 0.33
Mb and 0.46 Mb distal to the centromere, and the distal breakpoint was at a region between 14.6 Mb and 14.9 Mb. The finding
indicates that the three individuals had an approximate 14-Mb deletion within 21q11.2–q21.3. Molecular analysis showed that
both affected children shared the same maternal haplotype of their del(21q), but a crossover was detected in the paternally
inherited normal chromosome 21. These data suggest that unmasking of deleterious genes on the paternally derived chromosome
21 of the two children as a result of the deletion may affect the extent of their mental retardation and/or sensorineural
hearing loss. Usher syndrome 1E may be a candidate disease locus related to the sensorineural hearing loss of the first child.

Objective: To analyze the clinical and genetic features of 10 unrelated patients with duplications of 15q11q13 region and autism features. Methods: Karyotyping, chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and fluorescence in situ hybridiztion (FISH) were carried out for the patients and their parents. Results: Eight patients presented with a supernumerary marker chromosome (SMC) of unknown origin by G-banding analysis and triplication of the 15q11q13 region by high-resolution CMA analysis. Two remaining patients had normal karyotypes but duplications of the 15q11q13 region. All duplications have encompassed the Prader Willi/Angelman syndrome critical region (PWACR). Similar gains in copy number were not detected among the parents of the patients, suggesting a de novo origin for them. Analysis of SNP-array data of the family trios using Chromosome Analysis Suite Software found that the copy number gains have originated from the mothers. The diagnosis of 15q11q13 duplication syndrome was ascertained. For patients with SMC detected by karyotyping analysis, a FISH assay using probes specific for the 15q11q13 region showed that such SMC also derived from chromosome 15q11q13 region and contained two copy numbers, which was consistent with the result of CMA. Conclusion: Ten patients with autism and 15q11q13 duplications were identified with combined karyotyping, CMA and FISH analysis. A phenotype-genotype correlation was established. © 2018 West China University of Medical Sciences. All rights reserved. 相似文献

Supernumerary marker chromosomes (SMCs) without detectable alphoid DNA represent a rare and interesting class of rearranged marker chromosomes. These SMCs are predicted to have a neocentromere and have been referred to as neocentric marker chromosomes (NMCs). We report the molecular cytogenetic characterization of two new cases of neocentromere-containing chromosomes, one on 1q43-44 and one on 15q26. Both cases were examined using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with various alpha-satellite DNA probes, and no alphoid DNA was detected. In case 1, the NMC originated from the distal long arm of chromosome 1 by chromosomal microdissection and reverse painting. This marker lacked detectable chromosome 1q subtelomeric sequences, and therefore appeared to be a small ring chromosome. After genetic counseling with a high risk for a MCA/MR syndrome (trisomy 1q43 --> q44), the family continued the pregnancy. At age 6 months, the infant demonstrated no congenital or developmental anomalies. This is the first published example of a NMC derived from chromosome 1q. The marker may be one of the smallest, if not the smallest, human NMC reported to date. In case 2, fetal ultrasonography indicated a complex heart defect (abnormal return of lower vena cava, atrial septum malformation) and bilateral hydronephrosis. Molecular cytogenetic analysis showed an inverted duplication of the distal long arm of chromosome 15 (tetrasomy 15q24 --> qter). The pregnancy was terminated. Autopsy demonstrated polycystic left kidney and dysplastic right kidney. Case 2 represents the ninth report of a neocentromere on distal chromosome 15q, suggesting that this region may possibly especially support the formation of neocentromeres. 相似文献

Interstitial duplications of proximal 15q containing the Prader-Willi syndrome/Angelman syndrome (PWS/AS) region have been found in patients with autism or atypical autism. In these cases with an abnormal phenotype, the duplications were maternally derived. Paternal origin of the duplication has been associated with a normal phenotype. We report on a patient who presented with nonspecific developmental delay and partial agenesis of the rostral corpus callosum. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies using probes specific for the PWS/AS region demonstrated a double signal on one chromosome 15, indicating the presence of an interstitial duplication of proximal 15q involving the PWS/ AS region in the patient. Parental chromosomes were normal with FISH studies. Methylation analysis at exon alpha of the SNRPN locus showed a maternal band at 4.2 kb and a paternal band of apparent double intensity at 0.9 kb, suggestive of one copy of the maternal allele and two copies of the paternal allele in the patient. Microsatellite analysis was informative at the GABRB3 locus in the family, which showed the inheritance of two different paternal alleles and a maternal allele in the patient consistent with the origin of this duplication from an unequal crossing over between the two chromosome 15 homologs in the father. This is the first report of an abnormal phenotype associated with a paternally derived duplication of proximal 15q shown to contain the PWS/AS region by molecular techniques. 相似文献

We report the molecular characterisation of two families with Angelman syndrome referred for prenatal diagnosis, in which atypical molecular findings resulted in counselling dilemmas. The first is a familial case of Angelman syndrome in which the two affected children have mutations which affect the imprinting mechanism, as shown by the presence of paternal DNA methylation patterns at D15S63 and SNRPN and biparental inheritance of 15q11-q13 markers. DNA prepared from a 21 week fetal blood sample detected a fetus with normal maternal and paternal DNA methylation patterns at D15S63, but inheritance of the same maternal chromosome 15q11-q13 as the two affected sibs. This is probably a result of germline mosaicism in the mother. The second is a case of Angelman syndrome with an atypical deletion of 15q11-q13, which involves both unusual proximal and distal breakpoints. The deletion was characterised in order to assess the risk of Angelman syndrome in a second pregnancy in the mother of this child. 相似文献

We report on a girl with mosaicism (65%) of a de novo supernumerary ring chromosome 7. The main clinical features were delayed psychomotor development, congenital heart defect, facial dysmorphisms, and long hands, fingers, feet and toes. Molecular cytogenetic analysis revealed that the ring chromosome was duplicated in 20% of the analyzed metaphases with marker chromosome and quadruplicated in 5% thereof. Uniparental disomy (UPD) of the two normal sister chromosomes 7 was excluded. This is, to our knowledge, the first report of a partial tetrasomy to hexasomy due to a ring chromosome 7. Additionally, the ring evolution could be reconstructed according to the FISH-results. 相似文献

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analyses were performed on supernumerary marker chromosomes (SMCs) detected in 43,273 prenatal diagnoses over a period of 11 years, 1993-2003. A total of 42 pregnancies with SMC were identified, indicating a prevalence of one in 1032. A total of 15 SMCs were endowed with detectable euchromatin (prevalence, 1/2884), including six SMCs containing the cat eye critical region (CECR) on chromosome 22q11.21 (1/7212). De novo SMCs were found in 29 pregnancies (1/1492), including 14 euchromatic SMCs (48.2%). Follow-up studies were available for 24 cases. Nine pregnancies (37.5%) were terminated; two children (8.3%) were born with Pallister-Killian syndrome and cat eye syndrome (CES), respectively; 13 children (54.1%) showed apparently normal development. Familial SMCs were identified in 13 pregnancies (1/3328) from 11 unrelated women. They were all acrocentric. In all, 10 were heterochromatic and one was an extra der(22)t(11;22) chromosome. A total of 12 cases were available for follow-up. One pregnancy was terminated due to anhydramnios, spina bifida, and cystic-dysplastic kidneys; one child suffered from a der(22) syndrome; 10 children (83.3%) appeared unaffected. Studies for uniparental disomy were performed on seven pregnancies and revealed a case of maternal heterodisomy for chromosome 22. So far this is the largest FISH study of prenatally ascertained SMCs and the first study with detailed data on the prevalence. Findings illustrate the spectrum and clinical outcomes of prenatally diagnosed SMCs, and indicate a higher frequency of SMCs than generally assumed. 相似文献

Two siblings were found with different structural abnormalities involving their maternally inherited chromosome 13. The proband exhibited a ring 13 and a small fragment: 46, XX, r(13) (pllq34), +f, while her clinically normal brother carried a dicentric Robertsonian translocation: 45, XY, dic(13;15) (pl 1;pl 1). Both parents had normal karyotypes in peripheral blood and skin fibroblasts. The structural abnormalities of chromosome 13 may be due to an unstable gonadal 13; 15 translocation in the mother. In addition, two autosomal fragile sites were segregating in this family. The mother had a fragile (16) (q22) which was inherited by the proband. The father and paternal grandmother possessed a fragile (12)(q13) which was not inherited by either child. The expression of both fragile sites was dependent on culture conditions. 相似文献

The case of a retarded child with trisomy of the short arm of chromosome 8 associated with translocation between the short arm of chromosome 8 and the long arm of chromosome 22 is reported. Balanced translocation involving the same chromosomes was present in the mother and brother of the propositus. The specific chromosomes involved in the abnormality in this family were identified by use of fluorescence microscopy with quinacrine mustard staining, autoradiography and Giemsa banding. This appears to be the first case report of this anomaly, although trisomy of the short arm of chromosome 9 has been reported previously. 相似文献

We report six cases in two families and a sporadic case with a direct duplication of region 8p21.3→23.1. In one family, the duplication started in the mother and was transmitted to one son and one daughter. In the second family, the father was mosaic for the anomaly that was transmitted to his two daughters. The cytogenetic anomaly was initially described as an 8p+ with banding analysis and then delineated with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using whole‐chromosome 8 painting, 8p specific painting, and 8p or 8p/8q subtelomeric probes. Deletion was not detected in the subtelomeric region of the abnormal chromosome 8 examined in one family and in the sporadic case. The phenotypic picture varies from normal to moderate mental retardation in the affected individuals. No consistent minor anomalies or congenital defects were observed among these cases. After comparing the chromosome region involved in our cases with those in others having direct or inverted duplications of 8p, it is thought that the segment 8p21.1→21.3 might be the critical region for an 8p duplication syndrome. The parental origin of the duplication does not seem to impact its clinical significance. © 2001 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

We report on a man with mental retardation and a complex karyotype with cells containing up to three morphologically distinct supernumerary marker chromosomes (SMCs) in most metaphases. Fluorescence in situ hybridisation studies using chromosome 15-specific probes characterised the presence of seven SMCs all derived from chromosome 15. The results suggest that the patient originally had a large inv dup(15) containing two copies of the Prader-Willi/Angelman critical region which became mitotically unstable, and by a process of dynamic mosaicism various morphologically distinct SMCs arose. 相似文献
