Trisomy 21 with a Small Supernumerary Marker Chromosome Derived from Chromosomes
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe a trisomy 21 with a small supernumerary marker chromosome (sSMC) derived from chromosomes 13/21 and 18 in which the karyotype was 48,XY,+der(13 or 21)t(13 or 21;18)(13 or 21pter→13q11 or 21q11.1::18p 11.21→18pter),+21. Of the 35 case reports in the literature for a karyotype 48,XN,+21,+mar, in only 12 was the origin of the sSMC determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and only one was a der(13 or 21) and none were derived from two chromosomes. The influence of the partial trisomy 18p on the clinical outcome was hard to determine, however, there are reports on clinically healthy subjects for partial trisomy 18p.

Another small supernumerary marker chromosome derived from chromosome 9 in a Klinefelter patient.
Marker chromosomes are very rare in Klinefelter patients and phenotypic findings are related to the affected chromosomal region. The phenotypic effects of small supernumerary marker chromosomes (sSMC) range from multiple malformations/mental retardation to no effect (ie a normal phenotype). This wide spectrum of phenotypes is due to the origin, structure and gene content of the marker chromosom...
متن کاملThe First Case of a Small Supernumerary Marker Chromosome 18 in a Klinefelter Fetus: A Case Report
Small supernumerary marker chromosomes (sSMCs), or markers, are abnormal chromosomal fragments that can be hereditary or de novo. Despite the importance of sSMCs diagnosis, de novo sSMCs are rarely detected during the prenatal diagnosis process. Usually, prenatally diagnosed de novo sSMCs cannot be correlated with a particular phenotype without knowing their chromosomal origin and content; ther...
متن کاملIdentification of supernumerary marker chromosomes derived from chromosomes 5, 6, 19, and 20 using FISH.
A large number of cases with supernumerary marker chromosomes (SMCs) should be compared to achieve a better delineation of karyotype-phenotype correlations. Here we present four phenotypically abnormal patients with autosomal marker chromosomes analysed by fluorescence in situ hybridisation using centromeric, telomeric, and unique sequence probes, as well as forward and reverse painting. We als...
متن کاملCytogenetic, Molecular and FISH Analysis of an Isodicentric Chromosome 21 idic(21)(q22.3) in a Mildly-Affected Patient with Down Syndrome
Most cases of Down syndrome (DS) result from a supernumerary marker chromosome 21; however there are rare cases in which DS is due to partial trisomy of chromosome 21, involving various segments of the chromosome. The characterization of DS that are due to partial trisomy 21 allows the phenotype to be correlated with the genotype. We present a case of a five-year-old male referred for cytogenet...
متن کاملTwo chromosome fragments in a child with Down's syndrome and transient chromosome aberrations in the mother.
We wish to report a trisomy 21 child with two supernumerary fragments, whose mother had possibly related transient chromosome aberrations. The proband was an 8-year-old boy with typical features of Down's syndrome. The lymphocyte chromosomes studied at the ages of 3-5 months and 8 years showed a mosaic karyotype with both cell lines with trisomy 21 and one line (52% of the cells) with two addit...
