Patient With Delayed Development Resulting From De Novo Duplication of 7q36.1-q36.3 and Deletion of 9p24.3

چکیده
Patients with a duplication from 7q36 to the terminus or a deletion of 9p24 have been reported, whereas those harboring both mutations have not. Here, we report a patient with simultaneous de novo 7q36.1-q36.3 duplication and 9p24.3 deletion. A 6-year-old boy presented with speech developmental delay, microcephaly, and dysmorphic features, including a long face and small nose. Chromosome and array comparative genomic hybridization analyses revealed 46,XY,dup(7)(q36.1-q36.3) and del(9)(p24.3). The sizes of the duplication and deletion were 9.9 Mb and 1.9 Mb, respectively. The duplication of chromosome 7 contained 68 known genes, of which 3 are related with entries in the Developmental Disorders Genotype-to-Phenotype (DDG2P) database. The deletion of chromosome 9 contained 6 known genes, of which 2 are in the DDG2P database. We investigated the genotype and phenotype in this patient, and reviewed the relevant literatures for possible clinical presentation in these variations.

The common causes of 18p deletion syndrome are spontaneous errors in the chromosomal structure in the early stages of human embryonic development. In this study, a 29-year-old girl was introduced with the features of deletion of chromosome 18. In addition, GTG banding karyotype revealed that this case had a deletion involving the short arm of chromosome 18. In comparison with the usual phenotyp...

Disorders of sexual development (DSD), ranging in severity from genital abnormalities to complete sex reversal, are among the most common human birth defects with incidence rates reaching almost 3%. Although causative alterations in key genes controlling gonad development have been identified, the majority of DSD cases remain unexplained. To improve the diagnosis, we screened 116 children born ...

متن کاملA Rare Case of Duplication of Chromosome 2 (q31.3q36.3) in a 4.5-year-old Boy and Review of the Literature
De novo duplication of 2q is very rare. Most cases of 2q duplications result from familial translocations, and are associated with simultaneous monosomy of another chromosome segment. To our knowledge and search in English literature there are less than 20 reported cases of isolated 2q duplication. Hereby we introduce a 4.5-year-old Iranian boy of a non-consanguineous marriage who was referred ...
