Clinical and molecular characterization of a patient with interstitial 6q21q22.1 deletion.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Interstitial 6q deletions, involving the 6q15q25 chromosomal region, are rare events characterized by variable phenotypes and no clear karyotype/phenotype correlation has been determined yet.

Results

We present a child with a 6q21q22.1 deletion, characterized by array-CGH, associated with developmental delay, intellectual disability, microcephaly, facial dysmorphisms, skeletal, muscle, and brain anomalies.

Discussion

In our patient, the 6q21q22.1 deleted region contains ten genes (TRAF3IP2, FYN, WISP3, TUBE1, LAMA4, MARCKS, HDAC2, HS3ST5, FRK, COL10A1) and two desert gene regions. We discuss here if these genes had some role in determining the phenotype of our patient in order to establish a possible karyotype/phenotype correlation.

Molecular and clinical characterization of new patient with 1,08 Mb deletion in 10p15.3 region.

Project description:BackgroundThree distinct contiguous gene deletion syndromes are located at 10p chromosomal region. The deletion, involving 10p15.3 region, has been characterized by (DeScipio et al., Am J Med Genet A 158A:2152-61, 2012). However, because of the variation in size of the described deletions and lack of knowledge about the involved genes, the correlation between genotypes and patients' phenotypes remains unknown.Case presentationWe describe female patient with de novo 1,08 Mb deletion in 10p15.3 region, similar to the patient nr seven reported by (DeScipio et al., Am J Med Genet A 158A:2152-61, 2012) but with more severe clinical features. Our patient demonstrated speech and motor delay, dysmorphic features, brain abnormalities and Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia.ConclusionsThis case shows the importance of collection of more patients with deletion in order to obtain a more precise physical map of 10p region.

Phenotypic and genetic characterization of a patient with a de novo interstitial 14q24.1q24.3 deletion.

Project description:BackgroundInterstitial deletions of chromosome bands 14q24.1q24.3 are very rare with only three reported cases.ResultsWe describe a 7-year-old boy with a 5.345 Mb de novo interstitial deletion at 14q24.1q24.3 band detected by array-CGH who had a complex phenotype characterized by seizures, congenital heart defects, dysmorphisms, psychomotor delay, and bronchopulmonary, skeletal, and brain anomalies.ConclusionThe deleted region contains numerous genes, but we focused our attention on three of them (C14orf169, NUMB, and PSEN1), which could account, at least partially, for the phenotype of the boy. We therefore discuss the involvement of these genes and the observed phenotype compared to that of previously described patients.

Clinical and molecular cytogenetic characterization of a novel 10q interstitial deletion: a case report and review of the literature.

Project description:BackgroundThere are only ten reported cases of interstitial deletions involving cytogenetic bands 10q21.3q22.2 in the literature. Of the ten patients with overlapping 10q21.3q22.2 interstitial deletions, only nine have been characterized by chromosomal microarray analysis. Here, we report a two-and-a-half-year-old patient with a de novo 10.2-Mb deletion that extends from 10q21.3 to 10q22.3 and contains 92 protein coding genes.Case presentationThe patient is the product of a 37-week dizygotic twin pregnancy and presented with global developmental delay, hypotonia, feeding difficulties, short stature, poor weight gain, scaphocephaly, retrognathia, hypoplasia of the optic nerves/chiasms, a distinctive facial gestalt, as well as additional minor dysmorphic features. The deletion identified in our patient is the second largest reported interstitial deletion involving the 10q21.3q22.2 region. Our patient presents with the generalized features observed in 10q21.3q22.2 deletion patients and also presents with several novel findings including scaphocephaly, hypoplasia of the optic nerves and chiasms, and a very distinctive facial gestalt.ConclusionsBased on a literature review, we identify a commonly deleted region and suggest that KAT6B is a critical gene within the 10q21.3q22.2 region. However, a review of the reported overlapping deletions also suggests that there are additional critical genes contributing to the clinical presentation of these patients.

Interstitial <i>de novo</i> 18q22.3q23 deletion: clinical, neuroradiological and molecular characterization of a new case and review of the literature.

Project description:BackgroundDeletions of the long arm of chromosome 18 cause a common autosomal syndrome clinically characterized by a protean clinical phenotype.Case presentationWe report on a 16-month-old male infant affected by fever attacks apparently unrelated with any infectious or inflammatory symptoms, growth retardation, bilateral vertical talus, congenital aural atresia, dysmorphisms, mild psychomotor delay, and peculiar neuroradiological features. Array-CGH analysis revealed one of the smallest 18q22.3q23 interstitial deletions involving five genes: TSHZ1, ZNF516, ZNF236, MBP, and GALR1.ConclusionsHerein we focus on previously unreported heralding symptoms and neuroradiological abnormalities which enlarge the spectrum of 18q deletion syndrome demonstrating that a small deletion can determine a complex phenotype.

Subtelomeric deletion of chromosome 10p15.3: clinical findings and molecular cytogenetic characterization.

Project description:We describe 19 unrelated individuals with submicroscopic deletions involving 10p15.3 characterized by chromosomal microarray (CMA). Interestingly, to our knowledge, only two individuals with isolated, submicroscopic 10p15.3 deletion have been reported to date; however, only limited clinical information is available for these probands and the deleted region has not been molecularly mapped. Comprehensive clinical history was obtained for 12 of the 19 individuals described in this study. Common features among these 12 individuals include: cognitive/behavioral/developmental differences (11/11), speech delay/language disorder (10/10), motor delay (10/10), craniofacial dysmorphism (9/12), hypotonia (7/11), brain anomalies (4/6) and seizures (3/7). Parental studies were performed for nine of the 19 individuals; the 10p15.3 deletion was de novo in seven of the probands, not maternally inherited in one proband and inherited from an apparently affected mother in one proband. Molecular mapping of the 19 individuals reported in this study has identified two genes, ZMYND11 (OMIM 608668) and DIP2C (OMIM 611380; UCSC Genome Browser), mapping within 10p15.3 which are most commonly deleted. Although no single gene has been identified which is deleted in all 19 individuals studied, the deleted region in all but one individual includes ZMYND11 and the deleted region in all but one other individual includes DIP2C. There is not a clearly identifiable phenotypic difference between these two individuals and the size of the deleted region does not generally predict clinical features. Little is currently known about these genes complicating a direct genotype/phenotype correlation at this time. These data however, suggest that ZMYND11 and/or DIP2C haploinsufficiency contributes to the clinical features associated with 10p15 deletions in probands described in this study.

Clinical and molecular characterization of a patient with a combination of a deletion and a duplication of 22q13 using array CGH.

Project description:Phelan-McDermid syndrome is caused by the loss of terminal regions of different sizes at 22q13. There is a wide range of severity of symptoms in patients with a 22q13 deletion, but these patients usually show neonatal hypotonia, global developmental delay, and dysmorphic traits. We carried out a clinical and molecular characterization of a patient with neonatal hypotonia and dysmorphic features. Array-based comparative genomic hybridization showed an 8.24 Mb terminal deletion associated with a 0.20 Mb duplication. Characterization of patients with Phelan-McDermid syndrome both clinically and at the molecular level allows genotype-phenotype correlations that provide clues to help elucidate the clinical implications.

Interstitial 4q Deletion and Isodicentric Y-Chromosome in a Patient with Dysmorphic Features.

Project description:We present a 2-year-old boy with a de novo 46,XY,idic(Y)(q11.221),del(4)(q26q31.1) karyotype. G-banding, FISH, MLPA, and SNP-array techniques were used to characterize the 24-Mb deletion in 4q and the breakpoint in the isodicentric Y-chromosome region between 15,982,252 and 15,989,842 bp. The patient presented with mild facial dysmorphism, hemangioma, mild frontal cerebral atrophy, and Dandy-Walker variant. Essentially, this case reveals that patients can present more complex genomic imbalances than initially suspected.

Clinical and molecular characterization of a patient with mitochondrial Neurogastrointestinal Encephalomyopathy.

Project description:BackgroundMitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in TYMP gene, encoding nuclear thymidine phosphorylase (TP). MNGIE mainly presents with gastrointestinal symptoms and is mostly misdiagnosed in many patients as malabsorption syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, anorexia nervosa, and intestinal pseudo-obstruction. Up to date, more than 80 pathogenic and likely pathogenic mutations associated with the disease have been reported in patients from a wide range of ethnicities. The objective of this study was to investigate the underlying genetic abnormalities in a 25-year-old woman affected with MNGIE.Case presentationThe patient was a 25-year-old female referred to our center with the chief complaint of severe abdominal pain and diarrhea for 2 years that had worsened from 2 months prior to admission. The clinical and para-clinical findings were in favor of mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy syndrome. Subsequent genetic studies revealed a novel, private, homozygous nonsense mutation in TYMP gene (c. 1013 C > A, p.S338X). Sanger sequencing confirmed the new mutation in the proband. Multiple sequence alignment showed high conservation of amino acids of this protein across different species.ConclusionThe detected new nonsense mutation in the TYMP gene would be very important for genetic counseling and subsequent early diagnosis and initiation of proper therapy. This novel pathogenic variant would help us establish future genotype-phenotype correlations and identify different pathways related to this disorder.

Molecular characterization of deletion breakpoints in adults with 22q11 deletion syndrome.

Project description:22q11 Deletion syndrome (22q11DS) is a common microdeletion syndrome with variable expression, including congenital and later onset conditions such as schizophrenia. Most studies indicate that expression does not appear to be related to length of the deletion but there is limited information on the endpoints of even the common deletion breakpoint regions in adults. We used a real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) approach to fine map 22q11.2 deletions in 44 adults with 22q11DS, 22 with schizophrenia (SZ; 12 M, 10 F; mean age 35.7 SD 8.0 years) and 22 with no history of psychosis (NP; 8 M, 14 F; mean age 27.1 SD 8.6 years). QPCR data were consistent with clinical FISH results using the TUPLE1 or N25 probes. Two subjects (one SZ, one NP) negative for clinical FISH had atypical 22q11.2 deletions confirmed by FISH using the RP11-138C22 probe. Most (n = 34; 18 SZ, 16 NP) subjects shared a common 3 Mb hemizygous 22q11.2 deletion. However, eight subjects showed breakpoint variability: a more telomeric proximal breakpoint (n = 2), or more centromeric (n = 3) or more telomeric distal breakpoint (n = 3). One NP subject had a proximal nested 1.4 Mb deletion. COMT and TBX1 were deleted in all 44 subjects, and PRODH in 40 subjects (19 SZ, 21 NP). The results delineate proximal and distal breakpoint variants in 22q11DS. Neither deletion extent nor PRODH haploinsufficiency appeared to explain the clinical expression of schizophrenia in the present study. Further studies are needed to elucidate the molecular basis of schizophrenia and clinical heterogeneity in 22q11DS.
