Multiple de novo copy number variations in two subjects with developmental problems and multiple congenital anomalies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background De novo copy number variation (CNV) can occur constitutionally in gametogenesis or in early development leading to sporadic genomic disorders. Such de novo CNVs appear to also be important in somatic mutagenesis relevant to cancer and population events important to species evolution. Since large pathological CNVs are rarely observed at more than one locus in a single patient, and are often de novo, current efforts in understanding their molecular features and underlying mechanisms have relied on comparing CNVs from different individuals. Therefore, knowledge regarding size, mechanism and spatial distribution of de novo genomic rearrangements in a single genetic background is lacking.

Rett syndrome (RS) is a neurodevelopmental infantile disease characterized by an early normal psychomotor development followed by a regression in the acquisition of normal developmental stages. In the majority of cases, it leads to a sporadic mutation in the MECP2 gene, which is located on the X chromosome. However, this syndrome has also been associated with microdeletions, gene translocations...
متن کاملA clear bias in parental origin of de novo pathogenic CNVs related to intellectual disability, developmental delay and multiple congenital anomalies
Copy number variation (CNV) is of great significance in human evolution and disorders. Through tracing the parent-of-origin of de novo pathogenic CNVs, we are expected to investigate the relative contributions of germline genomic stability on reproductive health. In our study, short tandem repeat (STR) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) were used to determine the parent-of-origin of 87 de...
متن کاملMultiple congenital anomalies and developmental delay in a boy associated with a de novo 16p13.3 deletion.
We describe a patient with multiple congenital anomalies including tracheobronchomalacia, CT-proven metopic craniosynostosis, glandular hypospadias and severe ventral chordee, torticollis, esotropia, strabismus, fifth finger clinodactyly, hallux valgus, and global developmental delay. Using high resolution chromosomal microarray analysis, we identified a de novo deletion of 555 kb on chromosome...
