چکیده
The interpretation of the significance of marker chromosomes, which can be encountered at prenatal diagnosis, is extremely problematic. Various factors contribute to the difficulty of clarifying the phenotypic risks of supernumerary marker chromosomes, including differences in the size, structure, and origin of marker chromosomes, as well as the occurrence of multiple marker chromosomes of different origin in the same proband. Research on marker chromosomes is currently in a data-accumulation phase. We report the presence of two marker chromosomes, originating from chromosomes 6 and 11, in a child with developmental delay and craniofacial dysmorphism and discuss the related literature.

Child with Deletion 9p Syndrome Presenting with Craniofacial Dysmorphism, Developmental Delay, and Multiple Congenital Malformations
A 4-month-old Sri Lankan male child case with a de novo terminal deletion in the p22→pter region of chromosome 9 is described. The child presented with craniofacial dysmorphism, developmental delay, and congenital malformations in agreement with the consensus phenotype. A distinctive feature observed in this child was complete collapse of the left lung due to malformation of lung tissue. Cytoge...

The duplication of the short arm of chromosome 7 as de novo is extremely rare. The phenotype spectrum varies depending on the region of duplication. We report a case of de novo duplication of chromosomal region 7p21.1p22.2 in a three-year-old male child with autism who presented to the Sultan Qaboos University Hospital in Muscat, Oman, in January 2012. The patient was diagnosed with craniofacia...

Derivative 22 [der(22)] syndrome is a rare disorder associated with multiple congenital anomalies including pre-auricular skin tags or pits, conotruncal heart defects, and profound mental retardation. Der(22)t(11;22) is one of the causes of supernumerary chromosome markers (mar) in humans. We present a boy with developmental delay and multiple anomalies consistent with the supernumerary der(22)...

INTRODUCTION Small supernumerary marker chromosomes are still a problem in cytogenetic diagnostic and genetic counseling. This holds especially true for the rare cases with multiple small supernumerary marker chromosomes. Most such cases are reported to be clinically severely affected due to the chromosomal imbalances induced by the presence of small supernumerary marker chromosomes. Here we re...
متن کاملIdentification of autosomal supernumerary chromosome markers (SMCs) by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH).
Supernumerary marker chromosomes (SMCs) are rare chromosomal abnormalities resulting in partial trisomy of specific genomic regions with characteristic phenotypic effects. Twenty six cases with autosomal SMCs are reported. Four were identified prenatally and 22 postnatally in children, aged from 8 days to 15 years, who were referred for genetic evaluation because of various congenital anomalies...
