A complex double translocation involving four chromosomes and five breakpoints in a child with mild mental retardation.

چکیده
A 6-year-old boy with speech delay and mild mental retardation (IQ 82) was found to have a complex double translocation involving four chromosomes and a total of five breakpoints, two being on the same arm. This resulted in the karyotype 46,XY,t(2;4;7)(7;8)(q14;q31;q11q22;q13). As far as the authors are aware this is the first time that such a complex double translocation has been reported. Both parents had normal karyotypes.

A de novo complex chromosomal rearrangement involving chromosomes 2, 8 and 13 in a dysmorphic case with polysyndactyly.
We report herein a case with dysmorphic features, polysyndactyly and psychomotor mental retardation, who had an apparently balanced de novo translocation between chromosomes 8 and 13 as well as a de novo insertion within chromosome 2 itself. This case is worth mentioning in the sense that it bears two de novo rearrangements with five breakpoints. The correlation between the possible disrupted g...
متن کاملCloning of breakpoints of a chromosome translocation identifies the AN2 locus.
Chromosome translocations involving 11p13 have been associated with familial aniridia in two kindreds highlighting the chromosomal localization of the AN2 locus. This locus is also part of the WAGR complex (Wilms tumor, aniridia, genitourinary abnormalities, and mental retardation). In one kindred, the translocation is associated with a deletion, and probes for this region were used to identify...
متن کاملDeletion in the ABL gene resulting from a meiotic recombination of a maternal (3;22;9)(q22;q12;q34.1) translocation.
Complex chromosome translocations involve changes between three or more chromosomes and are found very rarely in the general population. 2 Abnormal phenotype, mental retardation, recurrent miscarriages, and infertility have been reported in carriers of apparently balanced complex chromosomal rearrangements. Phenotypic abnormalities in patients with apparently balanced chromosomal translocation ...
متن کاملThe most frequent constitutional translocation in humans, the t(11;22)(q23;q11) is due to a highly specific alu-mediated recombination.
The t(11;22) is the most common recurrent non-Robertsonian constitutional translocation in humans, having been reported in more than 160 unrelated families. Balanced carriers are at risk of having offspring with the derivative 22 syndrome owing to 3:1 meiotic non-disjunction event. Clinical features of the der(22) syndrome include mental retardation, craniofacial abnormalities and congenital he...

The clinical manifestations and cytogenetic details of five patients with a de novo deletion of the short arm of chromosome 8, del(8)(p23), are described. Of the four surviving children all had mild mental retardation and subtle facial anomalies; three of the five had cardiac abnormalities. The clinical features seen in these patients are compared with those of three previous single case report...
