Mosaic partial pericentromeric trisomy 8 and maternal uniparental disomy in a male patient with autism spectrum disorder
نویسندگان
چکیده
Various chromosomal anomalies including small supernumerary marker chromosome (sSMC) and Uniparental disomy (UPD) have been described in association with intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder. Based on our reported findings, we recommend that patients with sSMC(8) be evaluated for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) for early institution of therapy. In the presence of an identifiable sSMC, exploration of UPD is also recommended to further investigate the role of chromosome 8 UPD in ASD.

A male with trisomy 9 mosaicism and maternal uniparental disomy for chromosome 9 in the euploid cell line.
We describe a 17 year old male with a low level of trisomy 9 mosaicism. Maternal uniparental chromosome 9 disomy in the euploid cell line was shown to have arisen after postzygotic loss of the paternal chromosome 9 from the trisomic cell line by cytogenetic and molecular analysis. This is believed to be the first report of uniparental disomy for chromosome 9. In four of the 11 reported cases of...
متن کاملTrisomy rescue mechanism: the case of concomitant mosaic trisomy 14 and maternal uniparental disomy 14 in a 15‐year‐old girl
Maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 14 (upd(14)mat) is responsible for a Prader-Willi-like syndrome with precocious puberty. Although upd(14) is often hypothesized to result from trisomy rescue mechanism, T14 cell lines are usually not found with postnatal cytogenetic investigations. We report the coexistence of both chromosomal abnormalities in a 15-year-old girl.
متن کاملThe maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 6 (upd(6)mat) “phenotype”: result of placental trisomy 6 mosaicism?
BACKGROUND Maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 6 (upd(6)mat) is a rare finding and its clinical relevance is currently unclear. Based on clinical data from two new cases and patients from the literature, the pathogenetic significance of upd(6)mat is delineated. METHODS Own cases were molecularly characterized for isodisomic uniparental regions on chromosome 6. For further cases with upd...
متن کاملMaternal uniparental heterodisomy of chromosome 14: chromosomal mechanism and clinical follow up.
To our knowledge, 22 cases of chromosome 14 maternal uniparental disomy (UPD(14)mat) have been reported so far. The majority of cases were ascertained because of an abnormal phenotype associated with a Robertsonian translocation involving chromosome 14. We report here on a child with UPD(14)mat detected prenatally and resulting from trisomy rescue in a maternal meiosis I non-disjunction trisomi...

Mandibuloacral dysplasia (MAD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by postnatal growth retardation, craniofacial anomalies, skeletal malformations, and mottled cutaneous pigmentation. Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is characterized by the clinical features of accelerated aging in childhood. Both MAD and HGPS can be caused by mutations in the LMNA gene. In this stud...
