چکیده مقاله:

Introduction: Intellectual disability or intellectual retardation is a condition in which total mental functioning is distinctively below average and there are disabilities in adaptive behaviors during growth. According to the definition of American Mental Disability Community in 1992 a person is considered intellectually disabled if he or she has an IQ (intelligence quotient) of less than 70 and has a limitation in one or multiple adaptive skills. There are many different causes of intellectual disability that one of them is the genetically and chromosomal abnormalities. The aim of this paper was to study translocation breakout t (1; 4) (p21; p14) in a number of mental retardation patients in Iran. Materials and methods: This descriptive study was carried out on 100 persons with light mental disability by using cytogenetic methods. Lymphocytes were cultured in the dedicated environment by G-Banding karyotype of each person after obtaining patient’s blood sample. The data were statistically analyzed by logistic regression. Results: The findings showed that none of the patients with a mental disability was afflicted to the chromosomal translocation, (1; 4) (p21; p14). Conclusion: The lack of translocation in this study was equivalent with the obtained frequency in the same studies which have been carried out on the subjects suspected to have a translocation. Also, it seems that chromosomal analysis may be a usefulness diagnostic tool for children with mental retardation.

Identification of SETD2-NF1 fusion gene in a pediatric spindle cell tumor with the chromosomal translocation t(3;17)(p21;q12)

Spindle cell tumors are clinically heterogeneous but morphologically similar neoplasms. The term refers to the tumor cells' long and slender microscopic appearance. Distinct subgroups of spindle cell tumors are characterized by chromosomal translocations and also fusion genes. Other spindle cell tumors exist that have not yet been found to have characteristic, let alone pathognomonic, genetic o...

Detection of minimal residual disease in leukemic patients with the t(10;14)(q24;q11) chromosomal translocation.

Early relapse and minimal residual disease during clinical remission was examined in two patients having acute T-cell leukemia/lymphoma with the t(10;14)(q24;q11) chromosomal translocation. Molecular probes which can detect T-cell receptor alpha/delta clonal rearrangements and a TCL-3 probe which can detect the clonal rearrangement due to the chromosomal translocation failed to detect the leuke...
