چکیده
RATIONALE Chromosomal rearrangements are the major cause of multiple congenital abnormalities and intellectual disability. PATIENT CONCERNS AND DIAGNOSIS We report 2 first cousins with unbalanced chromosomal aberrations of chromosomes 1 and 21, resulting from balanced familial translocation. Chromosome microarray analysis revealed 8.5 Mb1q43q44 duplication/21q22.2q22.3 deletion and 6.8 Mb 1q43q44 deletion/21q22.2q22.3 duplication. Among other features, cognitive and motor development delay and craniofacial anomalies are present in both patients, whereas congenital heart defect and hearing impairment is only present in patient carrying 1q43q44 duplication/21q22.2q22.3 deletion. LESSONS In this report, we provide detailed analysis of the phenotypic features of both patients as well as compare our data with previously published reports of similar aberrations and discuss possible functional effects of AKT3, CEP170, ZBTB18, DSCAM, and TMPRSS3 genes included in the deleted and/or duplicated regions. Partial trisomy 1q/monosomy 21q has only been reported once before, and this is the first report of partial monosomy 1q/trisomy 21q. The expressed phenotype of mirroring chromosomal aberrations in our patients supports the previous suggestion that the dosage effect of some of the genes included in deleted/duplicated regions may result in opposite phenotypes of the patients.

Balanced Reciprocal Translocation t(X;1) in a Girl with Tall Stature and Primary Amenorrhea
AbstractChromosomal translocations constitute one of the most important, yet uncommon, causes of primary amenorrhea and gonadal dysgenesis. Although X-autosome translocations are frequently associated with streak gonads and clinical features of the Turner syndrome, the majority of X-autosome carriers may present with a variable phenotype, developmental delay, and recognizable X-linked syndrome ...
متن کاملGeographic Heterogeneity of the AML1-ETO Fusion Gene in Iranian Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Background: The human AML1 gene, located on chromosome 21, can be fused to the AML1- eight-twenty-one (ETO) oncoprotein on chromosome eight, resulting in a t(8;21)(q22;q22) translocation. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) associated with this translocation is considered a distinct AML with a favorable prognosis. Due to the various incidences of the translocation, which is associated with geographic ...

Chromosomal abnormalities are major causes of infertility, miscarriage and birth of handicapped progeny. In human live births, the prevalence of a chromosome aberration is ?0.5% and, of these, 0.1–0.3% correspond to structural chromosome rearrangements such as translocations, inversions, insertions and deletions .Our proband is an infant who had died 4 hours after birth due to a variety of abno...

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...

But, trisomy 7p syndrome rarely originates de novo; it usually results from a parental balanced translocation, which alters the phenotype attributable to trisomy7q. Here we report on two ...
