Supernumerary marker chromosome in a child with microcephaly and mental retardation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A de novo supernumerary marker chromosome (SMC) was identified in a 13-month-old girl who presented with microcephaly and mild mental retardation. On further characterization by oligo-nucleotide array-comparative genomic hybridization [array-CGH], the SMC was confirmed to be 18p.

Another small supernumerary marker chromosome derived from chromosome 9 in a Klinefelter patient.
Marker chromosomes are very rare in Klinefelter patients and phenotypic findings are related to the affected chromosomal region. The phenotypic effects of small supernumerary marker chromosomes (sSMC) range from multiple malformations/mental retardation to no effect (ie a normal phenotype). This wide spectrum of phenotypes is due to the origin, structure and gene content of the marker chromosom...

A female child with a terminal deletion on the long arm of chromosome 14, 46,XX,del(14)(q31.1), presented with microcephaly, narrow palate, gingival hypertrophy, protuberant ears, and a small haemangioma on the back. She was mildly mentally retarded. Only a few patients with a partial deletion of 14q (14q-) have been reported without consistent clinical findings. Although a clinical syndrome as...
متن کاملRing Chromosome 18: A Case Report
Ring chromosomes are rare chromosomal disorders that usually appear to occur de novo. A ring chromosome forms when due to deletion both ends of chromosome fuse with each other. Depending on the amount of chromosomal deletion, the clinical manifestations may be different. So, ring 18 syndrome is characterized by severe mental growth retardation as well as microcephaly, brain and ocular malformat...
متن کاملCytogenetic, Molecular and FISH Analysis of an Isodicentric Chromosome 21 idic(21)(q22.3) in a Mildly-Affected Patient with Down Syndrome
Most cases of Down syndrome (DS) result from a supernumerary marker chromosome 21; however there are rare cases in which DS is due to partial trisomy of chromosome 21, involving various segments of the chromosome. The characterization of DS that are due to partial trisomy 21 allows the phenotype to be correlated with the genotype. We present a case of a five-year-old male referred for cytogenet...
متن کاملGenetic Causes of Mental Retardation in Bushehr Province
Objective: About 50% of severe to profound intellectual disabilities (ID) are caused by genetic factors. In this study we decided to investigate the genetic causes of ID in 69 Bushehrian families to provide information for genetic counseling, carrier detection, and prenatal diagnosis. Materials & Methods: In this study we excluded known chromosomal abnormalities. The majority of families had...
