Chromosomal analysis is practiced routinely since long time in congenital malformations to find out structural and or numerical chromosomal aberrations. Translocation is one of the structural chromosomal aberrations where exchange of genetic material between the chromosomes is seen because of two breakpoints. On the basis of involvement of type of chromosome, two different types of translocation are defined. A case of two-year-old girl child with the history of developmental delay, generalised hypotonia and recurrent infections was reported whose cytogenetic analysis showed additional genetic material on ‘p’ arm of one chromosome 6. To find out the additional genetic material, parental chromosomal study was done which revealed balanced translocation between ‘q’ arm of chromosome 10 and ‘p’ arm of chromosome 6 and normal chromosomal pattern in father. Balanced translocation in mother gave rise to formation of derivative chromosome 6 which was transmitted to daughter causing partial trisomy of 10q and partial monosomy of 6p. This gain and loss of genetic material could be the cause of phenotypic features. In the current case, karyotyping was an investigation of choice and offering genetic counselling regarding prenatal diagnosis in future pregnancy was a thoughtful step.

Genetic Assessment

Isolated abnormalities in terminal regions of chromosomes 10q and 22q were formerly described in patients affected by neuropsychological impairment, abnormal facies, and heterogeneous structural abnormalities of the body. Chromosomes 10q and 22q harbor important genes that play a major role in CNS development, like DOCK1 and SHANK3, and in overall body growth, like FGFR2 and HTRA1. By using clinical, neuroradiological, neurophysiological, and genetic assessment, we studied 3 siblings affected by 2 different forms of very severe neuropsychological impairment with structural physical abnormalities, epilepsy, and body overgrowth. The genetic analysis revealed 2 different unbalanced translocations t(10;22)(q26.13;q13.32) of genetic material between the long arms of chromosomes 10 and 22, deriving from a maternal balanced translocation. Consequences of the unbalanced translocation were the simultaneous partial monosomy of 10q26.13 to 10qter and partial trisomy of 22q13.32 to 22qter in 2 patients and the simultaneous trisomy distal q10 and monosomy distal q22 in 1 patient, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, we here describe for the first time a causal association between an unbalanced translocation t(10;22) affecting the long arms of both chromosomes 10 and 22 and a very severe neurodevelopmental delay in 3 siblings.

Chromosomal Alteration

Unbalanced chromosomal rearrangements are not common; however, they have a significant clinical expression. The parental balanced translocation produces unbalanced chromosome, which is transmitted to next generation through fertilization of gametes carrying the derivative chromosome. The carriers of balanced rearrangements mostly do not have recognizable phenotypic expression. We report a family comprising of healthy and non-consanguineous young parents and their preemie newborn severely affected with congenital anomalies and systemic disorders. Conventional Gbanding analysis of somatic chromosomes identified a balanced translocation, t(6;10)(p23;q24), in mother and an unbalanced rearrangement, der(6)t(6:10)(p23;q24)mat, in the child. The child has inherited a derivative chromosome 6 with partial deletion of 6(p23-pter) and partial trisomy 10(q24-qter), which has resulted in fusion of genes of two different chromosomes. The prominent phenotypic features of del(6p), including high forehead, flat nasal bridge, agenesis of left ear, atrial septal defect (ASD), craniosynostosis, and growth retardation, are overlapping with specific Axenfeld-Reiger-, Larsen-, and Ritscher-Sinzel/3-C syndromes, however, lacking in ocular anomalies, skeletal laxity, or cerebellar malformation. Therefore, this paper rules out the isolated effect of del(6p23) or trisomy 10(q24) on distinct previously reported syndromes and proposes the combined effect of unbalanced chromosomal alteration.

Cytogenetic Analyses

Introduction. Partial trisomy of chromosome 12 long arm is rare condition with significant clinical impact and is usually diagnosed postnatally. Case report. We present prenatal sonographic findings and molecular cytogenetic characterization of partial trisomy 12q and partial monosomy 2q in two consecutive pregnancies of a healthy non-consanguineous couple. A 35-year-old pregnant woman G3P1A1 was referred to genetic counseling due to sonographic anomalies detected in the fetus. First trimester ultrasound examination revealed hyperechogenic focus in the left cardiac ventricle, single umbilical artery, hyperechogenic bowel and unilateral clubfoot with knee joint ankylosis. Previous pregnancy of the couple was terminated at 26th gestation weeks due to multiple fetal anomalies: bilateral ventriculomegaly, corpus callosum hypoplasia, single umbilical artery and clubfoot. In G3P1A1, amniocentesis was performed and cytogenetic analyses revealed a derivative chromosome 2. Subsequent cytogenetic analyses of parental lymphocytes showed that paternal karyotype was normal, while maternal karyotype showed a der(2). Metaphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies demonstrated partial trisomy 12q24.2?12qter and partial monosomy 2q37.3?2qter in the fetus, resulting from an unbalanced segregation of a maternal balanced translocation t(2;12)(q37.3;q24.2). To date, this is the first such prenatally detected case. Literature search revealed three more cases of prenatally detected partial trisomy 12q and anomalies described were consistent with ones detected in present case. Our findings contribute to further clinical delineation of partial trisomy 12q. Conclusion. Prenatal detection of single umbilical artery, clubfoot, arthogryposis and ventriculomegaly should alert suspicion to chromosome 12q aberrations.

Cytogenetic Investigation

A newborn calf of the Agerolese cattle breed underwent clinical cytogenetic investigation because of hyperflexion of the forelimbs, red eyes and the inability to stand. Anamnesis revealed that the mother, phenotypically normal, carried a chromosomal aberration. The newborn died after 2 weeks, and no remarkable alterations were found by the veterinarian on postmortem examination. The mother was a carrier of a reciprocal balanced translocation rcp(11;25)(q11,q14∼21) detected after a cytogenetic investigation in 2011; however, the analysis of the newborn revealed a different chromosomal aberration with partial trisomy of chromosome 25 and partial monosomy of chromosome 11. In fact, the results showed both chromosomes 25, one chromosome 11 and only one long derivative chromosome (der11). FISH analysis, performed using BAC clones, confirmed the chromosomes and their regions involved. Finally, both the localization of the breakpoints on band q11 (centromere) of chromosome 11 and band q14-21 of chromosome 25, and the complete loss of the der25 identified the aberration as an unbalanced translocation 60,XX,der(11)t(11;25)(q11;q14∼21). A comparison with human chromosomes was also performed to search for similarities and possible genes involved in order to study their effects, thus extending the knowledge of these aberrations by case reports.

Abstract Background There are many reports on rearrangements occurring separately in the regions of chromosomes 9p and 15q affected in the case under study. 15q duplication syndrome is caused by the presence of at least one extra maternally derived copy of the Prader–Willi/Angelman critical region. Trisomy 9p is the fourth most frequent chromosome anomaly with a clinically recognizable syndrome often accompanied by intellectual disability. Here we report a new case of a patient with maternally derived unique complex sSMC resulting in partial trisomy of both chromosomes 9 and 15 associated with intellectual disability. Case presentation We characterise a supernumerary derivative chromosome 15: 47,XY,+der(15)t(9;15)(p21.2;q13.2), likely resulting from 3:1 malsegregation during maternal gametogenesis. Chromosomal analysis showed that a phenotypically normal mother is a carrier of balanced translocation t(9;15)(p21.1;q13.2). Her 7-year-old son showed signs of intellectual disability and a number of physical abnormalities including bilateral cryptorchidism and congenital megaureter. The child’s magnetic resonance imaging showed changes in brain volume and in structural and functional connectivity revealing phenotypic changes caused by the presence of the extra chromosome material, whereas the mother’s brain MRI was normal. Sequence analyses of the microdissected der(15) chromosome detected two breakpoint regions: HSA9:25,928,021-26,157,441 (9p21.2 band) and HSA15:30,552,104-30,765,905 (15q13.2 band). The breakpoint region on chromosome HSA9 is poor in genetic features with several areas of high homology with the breakpoint region on chromosome 15. The breakpoint region on HSA15 is located in the area of a large segmental duplication. Conclusions We discuss the case of these phenotypic and brain MRI features in light of reported signatures for 9p partial trisomy and 15 duplication syndromes and analyze how the genomic characteristics of the found breakpoint regions have contributed to the origin of the derivative chromosome. We recommend MRI for all patients with a developmental delay, especially in cases with identified rearrangements, to accumulate more information on brain phenotypes related to chromosomal syndromes.

Translocation Breakpoints

We report an exceptional complex chromosomal rearrangement (CCR) found in three individuals in a family that involves 4 chromosomes with 5 breakpoints. The CCR was ascertained in a phenotypically abnormal newborn with additional chromosomal material on the short arm of chromosome 4. Maternal karyotyping indicated that the mother carried an apparently balanced CCR involving chromosomes 4, 6, 11, and 18. Maternal transmission of the derivative chromosome 4 resulted in partial trisomy for chromosomes 6q and 18q and a partial monosomy of chromosome 4p in the proband. Further family studies found that the maternal grandmother carried the same apparently balanced CCR as the proband’s mother, which was confirmed using the whole chromosome painting (WCP) FISH. High resolution whole genome microarray analysis of DNA from the proband’s mother found no evidence for copy number imbalance in the vicinity of the CCR translocation breakpoints, or elsewhere in the genome, providing evidence that the mother’s and grandmother’s CCRs were balanced at a molecular level. This structural rearrangement can be categorized as an exceptional CCR due to its complexity and is a rare example of an exceptional CCR being transmitted in balanced and/or unbalanced form across three generations.

AbstractTwo siblings with an unbalanced cytogenetic composition are described: a brother with partial trisomy 5p and distal 15q microdeletion, and a sister with partial monosomy 5p and distal 15q microduplication, resulting from a familial balanced translocation 46,XY; t(5;15)(p14.2;q26.2). To our best knowledge, there are no previous clinical and cytogenetic reports in the literature describing a family with concomitant presence of such a unique mirror combination. Clinical features of pure imbalances and the effects of their combination are discussed.

Abstract We report a prenatally diagnosed case of partial trisomy 2p and partial monosomy 3p, resulting from unbalanced translocation (2;3)(p25.1;p25.3) of paternal origin. Parents were non consanguineous Caucasians, with familial history of recurrent miscarriages on the father’s side. Detailed sonographic examination of the fetus showed a septated cystic hygroma measuring 6 mm at 13 weeks’ gestation. Karyotyping and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis of cultured amniotic fluid cells revealed an unbalanced translocation der(3)t(2;3)(p25.1; p25.3) and apparently balanced inv(3)(p13p25.3) in a fetus. Parental cytogenetic evaluation using karyotyping and FISH analysis showed the presence of both a balanced translocation and a paracentric inversion in father t(2;3) (p25.1;p25.3) inv(3)(p13p25.3). Microarray analysis showed a 11.6 Mb deletion at 3p26.3-p25.3 and duplication of 10.5 Mb at the 2p25.3-p25 region. The duplicated region at 2p25.1p25.3 contains 45 different genes, where 12 are reported as OMIM morbid genes with different phenotypical implications. The deleted region at 3p26.3-p25.3 contains 65 genes, out of which 27 are OMIM genes. Three of these (CNTN4, SETD5 and VHL) were curated by Clingene Dosage Gene Map and were given a high haplo-insufficiency score. Genes affected by the unbalanced translocation could have contributed to some specific phenotypic changes of the fetus in late pregnancy. The application of different cytogenetic methods was essential in our case, allowing the detection of different types of structural chromosomal aberrations and more thorough genetic counseling for future pregnancies.
