Chromosome Duplication (14q) and The Genotype Phenotype Correlation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The rearrangement of chromosome 14 is a rare cytogenetic finding. Changes in the number or structure of chromosome 14 can have a variety of effects, such as delayed growth and development, and distinctive facial features. The human chromosome 14 plays an important role in imprinting events importunes of a structural rearrangement is specifically when a phenotype is caused by imprinting, whereby the interpretation of genotype-phenotype correlation becomes extremely difficult. In this study, we examined a 3 year-old mentally impaired girl with unusual facial features. G-banding showed terminal duplication of chromosome 14 in the karyotype of the patient. In this particular case, we explained a phenotype genotype correlation in a patient with a dup (14) rearrangement, thus emphasizing the importance of prenatal diagnosis for pregnancies with an abnormal nuchal translucency.

An 18.3-Mb Duplication on Chromosome 14q With Multiple Cardiac Anomalies and Clubfoot Was Identified by Microarray Analysis
Dear Editor, Abnormalities involving the proximal segment of the long arm of chromosome 14 (14q) are rare. Clinical phenotypes of duplications on 14q vary, with autistic disorder, mental retardation, delayed development, and dysmorphic features being the common phenotypes [1-3]. Several studies have attempted to elucidate the correlation between these clinical phenotypes and candidate genes. Ho...

With only twenty reported cases, features of the rare 14q terminal deletion syndrome include developmental disabilities, microcephaly, growth delay, hypotonia and varied dysmorphisms [1-4]. Ophthalmologic, cardiac, neural, renal and genitourinary anomalies are associated [5,6]. Rare features include limb anomalies, recurrent otitis media and seizure disorder [1,6]. In contrast to 14q terminal d...

A 29 year old black female with delayed development and multiple congenital anomalies showing a duplication of 14(q31----qter) is presented. Although clinical features associated with partial duplication of the distal long arm of chromosome 14 are variable, there are some features which are distinctive of this chromosomal abnormality. The clinical findings of 14 cases with duplication distal 14...
متن کاملTandem duplication of the terminal band of the long arm of chromosome 7 (dir dup (7)(q36----qter)).
We report on a new case of a single band duplication of the long arm of chromosome 7, dir dup (7)(q36----qter). The major manifestations are developmental delay (particularly speech), frontal bossing, macrocrania, and constant drooling. When compared with other cases involving a 7q duplication of various segments, our patient has a few minor anomalies. This case illustrates the genotype/phenoty...
