Further delineation of the dup(3q) syndrome.

چکیده
Three patients with duplication of 3q regions ranging from 3q25----qter to the entire long arm provide additional documentation of the dup(3q) malformation syndrome. Data on 40 cases now reported define a characteristic face with hirsutism, synophrys, broad nasal root, anteverted nares, downturned corners of the mouth, micrognathia, and malformed ears recognizable even in the 30-week fetus and distinct from that of the Brachmann-de Lange syndrome. Other characteristic anomalies include congenital heart anomalies involving primarily septal defects, hand malformations including simian creases, abnormal dermatoglyphics, clinodactyly or camptodactyly, omphalocele, skeletal anomalies, and genitourinary malformations. Severe mental and growth retardation are common in those patients (64%) who survive the first year. Chromosome study of relatives is extremely important for counseling because only 10 of 40 cases represented de novo duplications.

Rare de novo inversion-duplication case with pure 3qter duplication syndrome including an overlap of the dup(3q) critical region: A case report
We report here a very rare case of de novo inversion-duplication chromosomal abnormality with a pure 3qter duplication syndrome. Interestingly, the 3q duplication includes an overlap of the syndromes critical region. Although there have only been 9 cases of this syndrome reported in the past, our patient had more severe neurological abnormalities than anticipated. In this regard, we have gather...
متن کاملA Rare Chromosome 3 Imbalance and Its Clinical Implications
The duplication of chromosome 3q is a rare disorder with varying chromosomal breakpoints and consequently symptoms. Even rarer is the unbalanced outcome from a parental inv(3) resulting in duplicated 3q and a deletion of 3p. Molecular karyotyping should aid in precisely determining the length and breakpoints of the 3q+/3p- so as to better understand a child's future development and needs. We re...
متن کاملPartial duplication of 3q and distal deletion of 11q in a stillbirth with an omphalocele containing the liver, short limbs, and intrauterine growth retardation.
We describe a female stillbirth with duplication of 3q21-->qter and deletion of 11q23-->qter resulting from an unbalanced segregation of a maternal t(3;11) reciprocal translocation. The proband had some of the clinical features consistent with those seen in patients with dup(3q) syndrome or distal del(11q) syndrome. Prenatal sonographic examination showed short limbs, intrauterine growth retard...
متن کاملClinical, Cytogenetic, and Biochemical Analyses of a Family with a t(3;13)(q26.2;p11.2): Further Delineation of 3q Duplication Syndrome
Chromosomal abnormalities that result in genomic imbalances are a major cause of congenital and developmental anomalies. Partial duplication of chromosome 3q syndrome is a well-described condition, and the phenotypic manifestations include a characteristic facies, microcephaly, hirsutism, synophrys, broad nasal bridge, congenital heart disease, genitourinary disorders, and mental retardation. A...
متن کاملSkin pigmentary anomalies and mosaicism for an acentric marker chromosome originating from 3q.
We report on a 22 year old man with hyperpigmentation distributed along the lines of Blaschko in whom cytogenetic analysis showed mosaicism for an unusual supernumerary marker chromosome. The patient was of normal intelligence and was not dysmorphic. The marker was present in 30% of his lymphocytes and in 6% of his skin fibroblasts from a dark area, while fibroblasts from a light area showed a ...
