This report describes the usefulness of the BAC genome array-CGH platform in the detection of cryptic rearrangements. We examined ten patients with normal and/or abnormal karyotypes and dysmorphic features, associated with mental retardation, autism and/or epilepsy. This approach led us to discover further cryptic chromosomal rearrangements, not previously detected by conventional cytogenetic procedures, and allowed us to better delineate genotype/phenotype correlation. Our experience shows the validity of the BAC platform as a reliable method for genome-wide screening of chromosomal aberrations in patient with idiopathic mental retardation and/or in association with autism and epilepsy.

This study describes a molecular analysis of partial trisomy 14q and partial trisomy 12p in a 5-year-old male child presenting with dysmorphic features, congenital heart disease and global developmental delay. Chromosomal analysis of the patient with GTG bands revealed a 47,XY,+der(14)t(12;14)(p13;q22)mat karyotype; the mother's karyotype was 46,XX,t(12;14)(p13;q22). Further, oligonucleotide array- CGH studies revealed an amplification of 32.3 Mb in the 14q11.1q22.1 region, substantiating partial trisomy 14q and additionally displaying an amplification of ∼1 Mb in the 12p13.3pter region for partial trisomy 12p. This is the first study to demonstrate a novel association of partial trisomies of 14q and 12p due to a 3:1 segregation of a maternal balanced translocation involving chromosomes 12 and 14. Gene ontology studies indicated 5 potential candidate genes in the amplified regions for the observed congenital anomalies.
