چکیده

Trisomy 10 has been detected in spontaneous abortions and prenatally. Although there are no reports of duplication of the whole long arm of chromosome 10, duplication of 10q21–qter has been found in a stillborn infant. Trisomy of more distal 10q is associated with a characteristic syndrome and has been described in many cases which almost always are familial, 4 but patients with trisomy of the proximal or medial segment of 10q have been less often described. We report on a 4 year old girl with a de novo unbalanced X;10 translocation, karyotype 46,X,der(X)t(X;10) (q21.2;q11.2), who is thus trisomic for almost the whole long arm of chromosome 10. As her clinical phenotype is disproportionally mild in relation to the region of 10q trisomy, we hypothesised that preferential inactivation of the derivative X;10 chromosome with spreading of X inactivation into the 10q segment might account for this discrepancy between phenotype and genotype. We report results of investigations of late replication, a feature of the inactive X, and expression and sequence analysis of genes located on the translocated region of 10q, and discuss our results relative to previous reports of unbalanced X;10 translocations.

Two cases of partial trisomy 8p and partial monosomy 21q in a family with a reciprocal translocation (8;21)(p21.1;q22.3).

We report on two mentally retarded adults with an unbalanced karyotype resulting from a familial balanced translocation between chromosomes 8 and 21, t(8;21)(p21.1;q22.3). This translocation has not been reported before. Both patients had partial trisomy 8p and partial monosomy 21q. Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) was used to determine the chromosomal breakpoints more precisely. The f...

A 3 1/2 year old girl with distal trisomy 19q defined by FISH.

A 3 1/2 year old girl was evaluated because of developmental delay. Short stature was evident with height between the 3rd and 10th centiles, while weight and head circumference were on the 50th centile. Dysmorphic features consisted of a high bossed forehead, pointed short ear lobes, small nose, bilateral convergent strabismus, left simian crease, a gap between the first and second toes bilater...

Distal 10q trisomy syndrome with unusual cardiac and pulmonary abnormalities.

Since its description in 1965, distal 10q trisomy has become recognised as a well defined, although rare syndrome, almost always the result of an unbalanced translocation. Typical features consist of psychomotor delay, a distinctive dysmorphic appearance, growth retardation, and, in some cases, cardiac, renal, and ocular abnormalities.

De novo der(X)t(X;10)(q26;q21) with features of distal trisomy 10q: case report of paternal origin identified by late replication with BrdU and the human androgen receptor assay (HAR).

We describe an 11 year old girl with a de novo unbalanced t(X;10) that resulted in a deletion of Xq26-->Xqter and a trisomy of 10q21-->10qter. Her clinical features were of distal trisomy 10q, but she lacked the cardiovascular and renal malformations observed in duplications of 10q24-->10qter and had only moderate mental retardation. X inactivation was assessed on peripheral blood lymphocytes b...

We report an unbalanced translocation involving chromosome 2 and 7 due to a balanced reciprocal translocation 2;7 in the father. The female fetus had a partial trisomy of the long arm of chromosome 2 with a partial monosomy of distal 7q. Ultrasound at the first trimester had indicated normal fetal anatomy, including normal intracranial structures. Parental karyotypes showed a paternal balanced ...
