Isolated sacral agenesis in a fetus monosomic for 7q36.1-->qter.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A fetus with severe sacral agenesis and intrauterine growth retardation, ascertained at prenatal diagnosis, was found to be carrying an unbalanced form of a paternal balanced reciprocal translocation (7;19)(q36.1;q13.43), resulting in functional monosomy for 7q36.1-->qter. Necropsy confirmed that the fetus had isolated sacral agenesis type II. A critical region for autosomal dominant sacral agenesis has recently been mapped to the 7q36 region. This case provides further evidence for a sacral agenesis locus in this region and may help to refine the critical region further.

Studies in mice demonstrated that the Shh gene is crucial for normal development of both incisors and molars, causing a severe retardation in tooth growth, which leads to abnormal placement of the tooth in the jaw and disrupted tooth morphogenesis. In humans the SHH gene is located on chromosome 7q36. Defects in its protein or signaling pathway may cause holoprosencephaly spectrum, a disorder i...

Urinary incontinence is a common problem in paediatric population and can be caused by many disturbances. To diagnose isolated nocturnal enuresis it is important to exclude physical anomalies that can lead to urinary incontinence. Sacral agenesis is a rare defect of vertebral column which can occur as an isolated defect or coexist with other anomalies. Mild clinical symptoms of the defect may d...

Sacral agenesis belongs to spectrum of aplastic vertebral malformations ranging from agenesis of coccyx to lower thoracic vertebrae and the term sacral agenesis has been used synonymously with caudal regression syndrome. Higher the defect, severe is the neurological deficit. Mangeau and Leclaire described a patient with ninth thoracic vertebra as the lowest segment(l). Sacral agenesis is more c...
