چکیده

An 11 year old boy with short stature, learning difficulties, and no obvious facial anomalies has a ring (3)(p23q29) formed by a break in the short arm at 3p23 and subsequent fusion with 3qter. A second rearrangement involving translocation of the displaced 3p23-->pter segment to chromosome 6 at 6pter is non-reciprocal with no obvious loss of distal 6pter material. The involvement of one chromosome in two separate rearrangements is uncommon. The patient's relatively mild phenotype appears to be associated with the "ring syndrome" and ring instability in division rather than from any segmental aneuploidy resulting from the presence of the two rearrangements.

Trisomy 3p23----pter and monosomy 11q23----qter in an infant with two translocation carrier parents.

A newborn male infant with multiple congenital abnormalities was found to be trisomic for 3p23----pter and monosomic for 11q23----qter. His parents were both carriers of a balanced reciprocal translocation. Considerable overlap in phenotype-karyotype correlations was found between the two chromosomal syndromes in the patient.

A complex three way translocation resulting in two sibs with partial trisomy 3p23----3pter.

A male infant with multiple congenital anomalies and psychomotor retardation was found to have a translocation resulting in partial trisomy for the distal part of chromosome 3p. An older sister with similar clinical findings had an identical karyotype. Chromosome studies in the phenotypically normal parents revealed a balanced translocation in the mother involving chromosomes 3, 11, and 18. An ...

Identification of Human Chromosome Segments that Have High Homology with Rat Genomic DNA

This study was conducted to determine the location of DNA segment with homology to the rat conserved genomic DNA in human chromosomes. The labeled rat genomic DNA was hybridized with normal human (male) metaphases. The study of 74 metaphases after fluorescence in situ hybridization showed 371 twin-spot signals on human chromosomes. Statistical analysis indicated that the specific accumulation o...

Genome wide high density SNP-based linkage analysis of childhood absence epilepsy identifies a susceptibility locus on chromosome 3p23-p14

Childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) is an idiopathic generalised epilepsy (IGE) characterised by typical absence seizures manifested by transitory loss of awareness with 2.5-4 Hz spike-wave complexes on ictal EEG. A genetic component to the aetiology is well recognised but the mechanism of inheritance and the genes involved are yet to be fully established. A genome wide single nucleotide polymorph...

Localization of a gene responsible for arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia to chromosome 3p23.

BACKGROUND Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD), a familial cardiomyopathy occurring with a prevalence of 1 in 5000, is characterized by replacement of myocytes with fatty and fibrous tissue. Clinical manifestations include structural and functional abnormalities of the right ventricle and arrhythmias, leading to a sudden death rate of 2.5% per year. Four loci have been mapped, but...
