Patient With Delayed Development Resulting From De Novo Duplication of 7q36.1-q36.3 and Deletion of 9p24.3.

ABSTRACT: Patients with a duplication from 7q36 to the terminus or a deletion of 9p24 have been reported, whereas those harboring both mutations have not. Here, we report a patient with simultaneous de novo 7q36.1-q36.3 duplication and 9p24.3 deletion. A 6-year-old boy presented with speech developmental delay, microcephaly, and dysmorphic features, including a long face and small nose. Chromosome and array comparative genomic hybridization analyses revealed 46,XY,dup(7)(q36.1-q36.3) and del(9)(p24.3). The sizes of the duplication and deletion were 9.9 Mb and 1.9 Mb, respectively. The duplication of chromosome 7 contained 68 known genes, of which 3 are related with entries in the Developmental Disorders Genotype-to-Phenotype (DDG2P) database. The deletion of chromosome 9 contained 6 known genes, of which 2 are in the DDG2P database. We investigated the genotype and phenotype in this patient, and reviewed the relevant literatures for possible clinical presentation in these variations.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Intellectual disability (ID) is a complex condition that can impact multiple domains of development. The genetic contribution to ID's etiology is significant, with more than 100 implicated genes and loci currently identified. The majority of such variants are rare and de novo genetic mutations. METHODS:We have applied whole-genome microarray to identify large, rare, clinically relevant copy number variants (CNVs). We have applied well-established algorithms for variants call. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was applied to validate the variants using three technical replicates for each family member. To assess whether the copy number variation was due to balanced translocation or mosaicism, we further conducted droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) on the whole family. We have, as well, applied "critical-exon" mapping, human developmental brain transcriptome, and a database of known associated neurodevelopmental disorder variants to identify candidate genes. RESULTS:Here we present two siblings who are both impacted by a large terminal duplication and a deletion. Whole-genome microarray revealed an 18.82 megabase (MB) duplication at terminal locus (7q34-q36.3) of chromosome 7 and a 3.90 MB deletion impacting the terminal locus (15q26.3) of chromosome 15. qPCR and ddPCR experiments confirmed the de novo origin of the variants and the co-occurrence of these two de novo events among the siblings, but their absence in both parents, implicates an unbalanced translocation that could have mal-segregated among the siblings or a possible germline mosaicism. These terminal events impact IGF1R, CNTNAP2, and DPP6, shown to be strongly associated with neurodevelopmental disorders. Detailed clinical examination of the siblings revealed the presence of both shared and distinct phenotypic features. CONCLUSIONS:This study identified two large rare terminal de novo events impacting two siblings. Further phenotypic investigation highlights that even in the presence of identical large high penetrant variants, spectrum of clinical features can be different between the siblings.
