Project description:The cause of mental retardation in one-third to one-half of all affected individuals is unknown. Microscopically-detectable chromosomal abnormalities are the most frequent recognized cause, but gain or loss of chromosomal segments that are too small to be seen by conventional cytogenetic analysis has been found to be another important cause. Array-based methods offer a practical means of performing a high-resolution survey of the entire genome for submicroscopic copy number variants. We studied 100 children with idiopathic mental retardation and their parents using the Affymetrix GeneChip® Mapping 100K Assay and found de novo duplications as small as 1.1 Mb in three cases, de novo deletions as small as 178 kb in eight cases, and unsuspected mosaic trisomy 9 in another case. This technology can detect at least twice as many potentially pathogenic de novo copy number variants as conventional cytogenetic analysis in people with mental retardation.

Project description:Background: Mental Retardation occurs with the prevalence of 2%-3% of general population. Molecular karyotyping by 1-Mb resolution microarray revealed that pathological genomic imbalances were found in 14%-20% of MR. Aim: The aim of this study is to find the submicroscopic rearrangements in patient with MR using the custom BAC microarray (probe spacing at 0.75 Mb throughout the human genome). Conclusion: We identified approximate 2.0-Mb deletion on 9q33.3-q34.11 in a female with MR (Patient 1). Keywords: array CGH

Project description:We report a recurrent microdeletion syndrome causing mental retardation, epilepsy and variable facial and digital dysmorphisms. We describe nine patients, including six probands; two with de novo deletions, two who inherited the deletion from an affected parent, and two with unknown inheritance. The proximal breakpoint of the largest deletion is contiguous with breakpoint 3 (BP3) of the Prader-Willi/Angelman region extending 3.95 Mb distally to BP5. A smaller 1.5 Mb deletion has proximal breakpoint within the larger deletion (BP4) and shares the same distal BP5. This recurrent 1.5 Mb deletion contains six genes, including a candidate gene for epilepsy (CHRNA7) that is likely responsible for the observed seizure phenotype. The BP4-BP5 region undergoes frequent inversion, suggesting a possible link between this inversion polymorphism and recurrent deletion. The frequency of these microdeletions in mental retardation cases is ~0.3% (6/2082 tested), a prevalence comparable to that of the Williams, Angelman, and Prader-Willi syndromes. Keywords: microdeletion, genomic disorder, mental retardation, epilepsy Patients were intially screened by BAC array CGH (n=290) or qPCR (n=1040). Patients with potential 15q13 deletions were then analyzed on a custom oligonucleotide array targeted to the 15q13 region, results of which are shown here.

Project description:Genomic disorders are characterized by the presence of flanking segmental duplications that predispose these regions to recurrent rearrangement. Based on the duplication architecture of the genome we investigated 130 regions which we hypothesized as candidates for novel genomic disorders 1. We tested 290 patients with mental retardation by BAC array CGH, identifying sixteen pathogenic rearrangements, including four patients with de novo microdeletions of 17q21.31. Using oligonucleotide arrays we refined the breakpoints of this microdeletion, defining a 478 kb critical region containing six genes that were deleted in all four cases. The breakpoints of this deletion, and of four other pathogenic rearrangements in 1q21.1, 15q13, 15q24 and 17q12 were mapped to flanking segmental duplications, suggesting that these are also sites of recurrent rearrangement. In common with the 17q21.31 deletion, these breakpoint regions are also sites of copy number polymorphism in controls, indicating that these may be inherently unstable genomic regions.

Project description:Mental retardation (MR) is a non-progressive cognitive impairment affecting 2 to 3% of the Western population. So far, point mutations and subtle deletions and insertions have been shown to represent only a proportion (<40%) of genetic causes underlying X-linked mental retardation (XLMR). We have screened a subset of 300 presumable X-linked families by X chromosome-specific array-CGH and identified 6 families with overlapping microduplications at Xp11.22 containing two candidate genes; both of which showed overexpression in the affected individuals. Array-CGH data revealed aberrant Cy5/Cy3 log2 ratios for different but overlapping sets of clones indicating varying sizes of these duplications in the different families.
