OBJECTIVE: Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is heterogeneous in pathogenesis, integrating genetic susceptibility with the influence of environmental factors. Submicroscopic aberrations may contribute to the etiology of HPE. Our aim was to report the molecular analysis of 4 fetuses with HPE and normal metaphase karyotype. METHOD: A whole genome BAC-array based Comparative Genomic Hybridization (array CGH) was carried out in fetal blood samples. All potential cytogenetic alterations detected on the arrays were matched against the known copy number variations databases. RESULTS: The array CGH analysis showed copy number gains and losses in all cases. We found a recurrent deletion in 15q14 (clone RP11-23J11) and in 15q22 (clone RP11-537k8) in 2 out 4 cases analyzed. We also observed submicroscopic gain in 6p21 in 3 out of 4 fetuses in nearby clones. All these regions were tested in known databases and no copy number variations have been described for them. CONCLUSION: This is the first report of molecular characterization through a whole genome microarray CGH of fetuses with HPE. Our results may contribute to verify the effectiveness and applicability of the molecular technique of array CGH for prenatal diagnosis purposes, and contributing to the knowledge of the submicroscopic genomic instability characterization of HPE fetuses.

Segmental copy-number variations (CNVs) may contribute to genetic variation in humans. Reports of the existence and characteristics of CNVs in a large Japanese cohort are quite limited. We report the data from a large Japanese population. We conducted population screening for 213 unrelated Japanese individuals using comparative genomic hybridization based on a bacterial artificial chromosome microarray (BAC-aCGH). We summarize the data by focusing on highly polymorphic CNVs in ≥5.0% of the individual, since they may be informative for demonstrating the relationships between genotypes and their phenotypes. We found a total of 680 CNVs at 16 different BAC-regions in the genome. The majority of the polymorphic CNVs presented on BAC-clones that overlapped with regions of segmental duplication, and the majority of the polymorphic CNVs observed in this population had been previously reported in other publications. Some of the CNVs contained genes which might be related to phenotypic heterogeneity among individuals.
