Project description:This study was conducted to describe a prenatal case of congenital hydrocephalus and hemivertebrae with a 6q terminal deletion and to investigate the possible correlation between the genotype and phenotype of the proband. We performed an array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis on a fetus diagnosed with congenital hydrocephalus and hemivertebrae. The deletion, spanning 10.06 Mb from 6q25.3 to 6qter, was detected in this fetus. The results of aCGH, karyotype and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analyses in the healthy parents were normal, which confirmed that the proband's copy-number variant (CNV) was de novo. This deleted region encompassed 97 genes, including 28 OMIM genes. We discussed four genes (TBP, PSMB1, QKI and Pacrg) that may be responsible for hydrocephalus while the T gene may have a role in hemivertebra. We speculate that five genes in the 6q terminal deletion region were potentially associated with hemivertebrae and hydrocephalus in the proband.

Project description:We report on a 12-year-old female with both a partial duplication and deletion involving chromosome 6. The duplication involves 6p25.3p24.3 (7.585 Mb) while the deletion includes 6q27q27 (6.244 Mb). This chromosomal abnormality is also described as distal trisomy 6p and distal monosomy 6q. The patient has a Chiari II malformation, hydrocephalus, agenesis of the corpus callosum, microcephaly, bilateral renal duplicated collecting system, scoliosis, and myelomeningocele associated with a neurogenic bladder and bladder reflux. Additional features have included seizures, feeding dysfunction, failure to thrive, sleep apnea, global developmental delay, intellectual disability, and absent speech. To our knowledge, our report is just the sixth case in the literature with concomitant distal 6p duplication and distal 6q deletion. Although a majority of chromosomal duplication-deletion cases have resulted from a parental pericentric inversion, the parents of our case have normal chromosomes. This is the first reported de novo case of distal 6p duplication and distal 6q deletion. Alternate explanations for the origin of the patient's chromosome abnormalities include parental gonadal mosaicism, nonallelic homologous recombination, or potentially intrachromosomal transposition of the telomeres of chromosome 6. Nonpaternity was considered but ruled out by whole exome sequencing analysis.

Project description:Copy number variations in subtelomeric regions of chromosomes 17 and 20 are associated with intellectual disability and various systemic manifestations. Microarray analysis allows identification of submicroscopic chromosomal abnormalities and is applicable to elucidate the etiology of cognitive impairment in approximately one-fifth of the cases. In the present study, we report on 3 male children from 2 sisters, who suffered from intellectual disability, facial dysmorphism, and epilepsy. Despite the initial suggestion of an X-linked inheritance, the condition was associated with 17q25.3 duplication and concomitant 20q13.33 deletion, as detected by microarray analysis. Coexistence of a deletion and a duplication suggests unbalanced segregation of a parental balanced translocation. Further investigations revealed maternal balanced translocations, which resulted in copy number aberrations in the children following unbalanced segregations. The work-up underlined the importance of genomic screening using microarrays as the first-tier diagnostic tool in intellectual disability, despite an apparent X-linked segregation in the pedigree.

Project description:IntroductionSubchromosomal deletions and duplications could currently be detected by noninvasive preliminary screening (NIPS). However, NIPS is a screening test that requires further diagnosis. Here we report a fetus with an autosomal abnormality revealed by NIPS and conventional karyotype combined with copy number variations sequencing (CNV-seq) confirmed the fetus with an unbalanced translocation.Patient concernThis was the fourth pregnancy of a 30-year-old woman who underwent 2 spontaneous abortions and gave birth to a child with a normal phenotype. The woman and her husband were healthy and nonconsanguineous. NIPS indicated a repeat of about 19-Mb fragment at the region of 16q22.1-q22.4 at 17-week gestation.DiagnosesThe combination of traditional karyotype and CNV-seq could better locate the abnormal chromosomal region and further identify the source of fetal chromosomal abnormalities. Simultaneously, we evaluated the fetal morphology by ultrasound examination. The karyotype of the fetus was 46,XX,der(7)t(7;16)(p22;q23) and CNV-seq results showed an approximately 20.96-Mb duplication in 16q22.1-q24.3 (69200001-90160000) and an approximately 3.86-Mb deletion in 7p22.3-p22.2 (40001-3900000). Prenatal ultrasound revealed the fetal micrognathia. The paternal karyotype was 46,XY, t (7;16) (p22;q23), while the maternal was normal. The fetus inherited an abnormal chromosome 7 from its father.InterventionsNo treatment for the fetus.OutcomesPregnancy was terminated.ConclusionsTo our knowledge, the occurrence of de novo partial trisomy 16q (16q22.1-qter) and partial monosomy 7p (7p22.2-pter) has not previously been reported up to now. Here, we present the perinatal findings of such a case and a review of the literatures. CNV-seq combined with karyotype is a useful tool for chromosomal abnormalities indicated by NIPS.

Project description:Complex chromosome rearrangements (CCRs), which are rather rare in the whole population, may be associated with aberrant phenotypes. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and conventional techniques, could be used to reveal specific CCRs for better genetic counseling. We report the CCRs of a girl and her mother, which were identified using a combination of NGS and conventional techniques including G-banding, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and PCR. The girl demonstrated CCRs involving chromosomes 3 and 8, while the CCRs of her mother involved chromosomes 3, 5, 8, 11 and 15. HumanCytoSNP-12 Chip analysis identified a 35.4 Mb duplication on chromosome 15q21.3-q26.2 in the proband and a 1.6 Mb microdeletion at chromosome 15q21.3 in her mother. The proband inherited the rearranged chromosomes 3 and 8 from her mother, and the duplicated region on chromosome 15 of the proband was inherited from the mother. Approximately one hundred genes were identified in the 15q21.3-q26.2 duplicated region of the proband. In particular, TPM1, SMAD6, SMAD3, and HCN4 may be associated with her heart defects, and HEXA, KIF7, and IDH2 are responsible for her developmental and mental retardation. In addition, we suggest that a microdeletion on the 15q21.3 region of the mother, which involved TCF2, TCF12, ADMA10 and AQP9, might be associated with mental retardation. We delineate the precise structures of the derivative chromosomes, chromosome duplication origin and possible molecular mechanisms for aberrant phenotypes by combining NGS data with conventional techniques.

Project description:We report on a 17-year-old patient with midline defects, ocular hypertelorism, neuropsychomotor development delay, neonatal macrosomy, and dental anomalies. DNA copy number investigations using a Whole Genome TilePath array consisting, of 30K BAC/PAC clones showed a 6.36 Mb deletion in the 9p24.1-p24.3 region and a 14.83 Mb duplication in the 20p12.1-p13 region, which derived from a maternal balanced t(9;20)(p24.1;p12.1) as shown by FISH studies. Monosomy 9p is a well-delineated chromosomal syndrome with characteristic clinical features, while chromosome 20p duplication is a rare genetic condition. Only a handful of cases of monosomy 9/trisomy 20 have been previously described. In this report, we compare the phenotype of our patient with those already reported in the literature, and discuss the role of DMRT, DOCK8, FOXD4, VLDLR, RSPO4, AVP, RASSF2, PROKR2, BMP2, MKKS, and JAG1, all genes mapping to the deleted and duplicated regions.

Project description:Trisomy 16q is a rare disorder with severe abnormalities, which always leads to early postnatal mortality. It usually results from a parental translocation, exhibiting 16q duplication associated with another chromosomal deletion. The present study reports on the clinical presentation and molecular cytogenetic results of a small-for-gestational-age infant, consisting of partial trisomy 16q21→qter and monosomy 2p25.3→pter. The proband presented with moderately low birthweight, small anterior fontanelles, prominent forehead, low hairline, telecanthus, flat nasal bridge, choanal atresia, clinodactyly of the fifth fingers, urogenital anomalies, congenital muscular torticollis and congenital laryngomalacia. The last two traits have not previously been reported in any trisomy 16q and monosomy 2p cases. The proband was trisomic for the 16q21→qter chromosomal region with the karyotype 46,XY,der(2)t(2;16)(p25;q21)pat. The chromosomal anomaly was the result of unbalanced segregation of a paternal balanced translocation, 46,XY,t(2;16)(p25;q21). In this case, molecular cytogenetic analysis had a critical role in delineating the proband's clinical phenotype. Although this patient had a 16q21→qter duplication and a 2p25.3→pter deletion, the latter may have had mild phenotypic effects when associated with trisomy 16q. The literature was also reviewed, focusing on cases with the same breakpoints, localizations and clinical features reported in recent years.

Project description:We report a 36-year-old Caucasian male identified with distal partial trisomy 15q and partial monosomy 16p from an unbalanced chromosome translocation detected by microarray and FISH analysis. He had a history of developmental delay and intellectual disability, chronic anemia, tall and slender stature, thoracic scoliosis and lumbar lordosis, and dysmorphic features. The distal partial trisomy 15q included the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor gene involved with growth, while genes in the distal partial monosomy 16p region are involved with alpha hemoglobin production, intellectual disability, dysmorphic features, and acromegaly. The chromosome derivative found in our patient contains genes known to play a role in his phenotype.

Project description:Down syndrome (DS) is one of the most frequent congenital birth defects, and the most common genetic cause of mental retardation. In most cases, DS results from the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21. DS has a complex phenotype, and a major goal of DS research is to identify genotype-phenotype correlations. Cases of partial trisomy 21 and other HSA21 rearrangements associated with DS features could identify genomic regions associated with specific phenotypes. We have developed a BAC array spanning HSA21q and used array comparative genome hybridization (aCGH) to enable high-resolution mapping of pathogenic partial aneuploidies and unbalanced translocations involving HSA21. We report the identification and mapping of 30 pathogenic chromosomal aberrations of HSA21 consisting of 19 partial trisomies and 11 partial monosomies for different segments of HSA21. The breakpoints have been mapped to within approximately 85 kb. The majority of the breakpoints (26 of 30) for the partial aneuploidies map within a 10-Mb region. Our data argue against a single DS critical region. We identify susceptibility regions for 25 phenotypes for DS and 27 regions for monosomy 21. However, most of these regions are still broad, and more cases are needed to narrow down the phenotypic maps to a reasonable number of candidate genomic elements per phenotype.

Project description:Aneuploidies of human chromosome 21 (Down syndrome (DS) and monosomy 21 (M21)) lead to variable physiological abnormalities with constant mental retardation, locomotor deficits and altered muscle tone. To search for dosage-sensitive genes involved in DS and M21 phenotypes, we created two new mouse models carrying either tandem duplication (Ts2Yah) or a deletion (Ms3Yah) of the Stch-App interval homologous and syntenic with 21q11.2-q21.3 in humans. Here we report the complex mirror phenotypes of the trisomy and monosomy involving locomotion, muscle strength, mass and energetic balance that vary while ageing. Expression profiling of skeletal muscles revealed global changes in the expression of genes implicated in energetic metabolism, mitochondrial activity and biogenesis with down-regulation in Ts2Yah and up-regulation in Ms3Yah mice. The shift in skeletal muscle metabolism correlated with a change in mitochondrial proliferation without an alteration of the respiratory function. However ROS production from mitochondrial complex I decreased in Ms3Yah mice while membrane permeability of Ts2Yah mitochondria slightly increased. Our results clearly demonstrate the central versus peripheral impact of the variation of copy number of the Stch-App region on the locomotor activity, muscle biology and mitochondrial biogenesis in models of these aneuploidies.
