Autosomal Deletion Syndrome 46 , XX , 18 p - : A new case report with absence of IgA in serum PATRICIA
نویسنده
چکیده
Twenty-one cases of presumptive deletion of the short arm of a No. 18 chromosome were recently reviewed by Reinwein et al. (1968) together with a new case from their own material. Five additional reports describing 6 cases have since been published (Grouchy, Rossier, and Joab, 1967; Gilgenkrantz, Marchal, and Neimann, 1968; Gorlin, Yunis, and Anderson, 1968; McDermott et al., 1968; Jacobsen and Mukkelsen, 1968). It is becoming increasingly evident that the clinical features attributable to this syndrome are confined very largely to errors of development involving the same systems. The phenotypic manifestations, however, range from severe holoprosencephalies incompatible with life, to cases with various mild abnormalities of the eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and teeth. All are mentally defective. In contrast to trisomy D, extracephalic malformations are absent or trivial. In addition to these physical and mental stigmata, dysgammaglobulinaemia has recently been associated with deficiencies involving chromosome No. 18. To date, an absence of serum and salivary IgA has been reported in two cases of deletion of the short arm (D. Daentle and D. Smith, 1968, personal communication to Stewart et al., 1968; Ruvalcaba and Thuline, 1969), two cases of deletion of the long arm (Stewart et al., 1968; Feingold et al., 1969), and in two persons with a ring chromosome 18 (Finley et al., 1968; Feingold et al., 1969). We wish to report a case investigated in our clinic in which a presumptive short arm deletion of chromosome 18 is associated with an absence of IgA in the serum.

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a hereditary autosomal dominant cancer syndrome, results from germ line mutation or deletion of the Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) gene on chromosome 5q21. Patients with FAP suffer from multiple polyps mainly at the colorectal region as well as other parts of the gastrointestinal tract, which has propensity to transform into carcinoma. FAP has also...

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...

MSX1 Mutation in Witkop Syndrome; A Case Report
The Witkop syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the absence of several teeth and abnormalities of the nails. This is the first report of a rare genetic tooth and nail syndrome diagnosed in a 2.5-year-old boy with early exfoliation of the primary canine, absence of the primary incisors, and nail dysplasia. A homozygous mutation was identified in 3’-UTR of MSX1 gene in ...

Immunoglobulin (Ig) A deficiency has long been recognized in patients with chromosome 18 abnormalities. We present the case of a young girl in whom a chromosome 18p deletion syndrome (46,XX,del[18][p11.1]) was associated not only with IgA deficiency, but also with an inability to make antibody to the unconjugated pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine, Pneumovax II, indicating a concomitant specif...
