Case report: uniparental disomy 16 in association with congenital heart disease.

چکیده
Uniparental disomy (UPD) is the inheritance of both copies of a given chromosome from the same parent (Warburton, 1988; Anon., 1991). The exact disease associations of UPD of individual chromosomes have yet to be fully elucidated and the question of whether UPD of some chromosomes may be regarded as a benign finding remains unanswered. We report an infant with uniparental maternal disomy 16, the only such infant identified at King's College Hospital. The infant had intrauterine growth retardation and minor congenital heart disease.

Paternal uniparental disomy for chromosome 6 causes transient neonatal diabetes.
We report an infant with intrauterine growth retardation and transient neonatal diabetes who has paternal uniparental disomy for chromosome 6. The infant was not dysmorphic and had no congenital anomalies. To our knowledge, this is the third case of paternal uniparental disomy occurring in an infant with transient neonatal diabetes, thus confirming the association.
متن کاملRecessive congenital myotonia resulting from maternal isodisomy of chromosome 7: a case report
Autosomal dominant (Thomsen) and recessive (Becker) congenital myotonia are two different non dystrophic disorders, due to allelic mutations of the muscle chloride channel gene, located on chromosome 7q35. More than two thirds of the muscle chloride channel gene mutations occur independently in unique families and cause the recessive form of the disease. Becker disease is more common and severe...
متن کاملPaternal uniparental disomy in monozygotic twins discordant for hemihypertrophy.
Hemihypertrophy, or hemihyperplasia, is a condition in which there may be asymmetrical overgrowth of the cranium, face, trunk, and/or limbs on one side of the body. There may also be asymmetrical visceromegaly on the ipsilateral or contralateral side. Hemihypertrophy may occur in isolation, hence the term “isolated hemihypertrophy (IH)”, or as part of a number of overgrowth syndromes in which o...

متن کاملDifficult tracheal intubation in a patient with maternal uniparental disomy 14
Background Maternal uniparental disomy 14 (UPD(14)mat) is an imprinting disorder. It is a rare disease, but there is the possibility that more undiagnosed patients might exist because the clinical features of UPD(14)mat resemble those of the Prader-Willi syndrome or other congenital diseases. We performed anesthetic management for an 8-year-old girl with UPD(14)mat. Case presentations She was...
