Mosaic trisomy of a small r(1) with an abnormal phenotype

Mosaic trisomy of a small r(1) with an abnormal phenotype Cytogenetic studies of a mildly dysmorphic 10‐year‐old male with mild developmental delay and learning difficulties revealed mosaicism for a supernumerary ring chromosome in approximately half of the cells. The karyotype of this patient was established as 47,XY,+r[15]/46,XY[15].ish r(1)(D1Z7+,wcp1−). Although the presence of euchromatic material was shown by C banding, the lack of hybridization with the whole chromosome paint 1 (wcp1) probe suggests that few unique sequences are contained in the ring and that these sequences likely explain the child's dysmorphic features and developmental delay. A review of the literature, including the present case, suggests that the significance of euchromatin in supernumerary r(1) as determined by both C banding and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with chromosome 1 painting probes can be used as a prognostic indicator for potential severity of the clinical phenotype. © 2001 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A Wiley

Abstract

Cytogenetic studies of a mildly dysmorphic 10‐year‐old male with mild developmental delay and learning difficulties revealed mosaicism for a supernumerary ring chromosome in approximately half of the cells. The karyotype of this patient was established as 47,XY,+r[15]/46,XY[15].ish r(1)(D1Z7+,wcp1−). Although the presence of euchromatic material was shown by C banding, the lack of hybridization with the whole chromosome paint 1 (wcp1) probe suggests that few unique sequences are contained in the ring and that these sequences likely explain the child's dysmorphic features and developmental delay. A review of the literature, including the present case, suggests that the significance of euchromatin in supernumerary r(1) as determined by both C banding and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with chromosome 1 painting probes can be used as a prognostic indicator for potential severity of the clinical phenotype. © 2001 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
