We report a novel case of partial trisomy 19q and concomitant partial monosomy 21q, segregated from a maternal translocation (19;21) (q13.1;q22.3), identified by spectral karyotyping. Clinical examination revealed dysmorphic features of the face and limbs, cleft palate, bilateral colobomas with associated bilateral colobomatous optic nerve cysts, hearing loss, and a cardiac anomaly. At autopsy, the dysmorphic features and cleft palate were confirmed. The ocular histopathology is described in detail and the cardiac anomaly was further specified. The combination of phenotype features is diagnostic of the CHARGE ( coloboma, heart malformation, atresia choanae, retarded growth and development, and/or CNS anomalies, genital hypoplasia, ear anomalies and/or deafness) association. This case also has some phenotypic features in common with previous cases of partial trisomy 19q. The importance of a complete autopsy in cases with multiple congenital anomalies and/or genetic abnormalities is emphasized. This will allow optimal genetic counseling and contribute to our understanding of developmental biology.

We report a 36-year-old Caucasian male identified with distal partial trisomy 15q and partial monosomy 16p from an unbalanced chromosome translocation detected by microarray and FISH analysis. He had a history of developmental delay and intellectual disability, chronic anemia, tall and slender stature, thoracic scoliosis and lumbar lordosis, and dysmorphic features. The distal partial trisomy 15q included the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor gene involved with growth, while genes in the distal partial monosomy 16p region are involved with alpha hemoglobin production, intellectual disability, dysmorphic features, and acromegaly. The chromosome derivative found in our patient contains genes known to play a role in his phenotype.

AbstractA 28-year-old woman underwent amniocentesis at 18 weeks’ gestation upon detection of increased fetal nuchal fold and parietal cephalocele on the second trimester ultrasound examination. Prenatal microarray showed a de novo unbalanced translocation resulting in a gain in 6q and loss in 18p. A female infant was delivered at 38 weeks’ gestation. At birth, cephalocele and webbed neck were noted as major dysmorphic features. The case presented here shows how a combination of different genetic studies is used to accurately elucidate a chromosomal anomaly in a prenatal setting.

A male infant with failure to thrive was found to have a previously unreported combination of chromosomal structural abnormalities. Evidence is presented which characterizes the abnormal chromosomes as a late-replicating G ring and a pericentric inversion in an early replicating B group chromosome. The mechanisms of pericentric inversion and ring formation are discussed, and possible genetic consequences are noted. The patient's phenotype differed significantly from that of previously reported subjects with G rings, G deletions, and structural abnormalities of the B group. This phenotypic difference could be attributed to the apparent fact that the proband's G ring was a late replicator (G1) and earlier cases were not, on to the seeming variability in ring size which suggested partial trisomy/partial monosomy, or perhaps to the probability that the abnormal B chromosome was pericentrically inverted rather than deleted. The question of the etiologic significance of broken parental chromosomes must be raised, although more study is needed in the area of chromosome breakage, its relationship to abnormal progeny, and the possible role of environmental agents, e.g., drugs and irradiation.
