AbstractA male child has been identified with Angelman syndrome. He has been shown to carry a de novo Robertsonian 15/15 translocation where both chromosome 15s have been derived from the father. Consequently the disease in this instance is due to paternal uniparental disomy.

AbstractA girl carrying a de novo balanced 13-14 robertsonian translocation showed a clinical phenotype with severe hypotonia, hyperextensible joints, frontal bossing, asymmetric face, no mental retardation, severe scoliosis and motor delay. In situ hybridization analysis on chromosome spreads revealed the presence of the two centromeres in the rearranged chromosomes. Molecular analysis on genomic DNA showed the presence in the proposita of two chromosomes 14 of maternal origin and no chromosome 14 from the father indicating a maternal monocentric uniparental disomy for chromosome 14 (mUPD14). Our patient shows several similarities with other reported cases of mUPD14, suggesting imprinting of a region(s) of chromosome 14 and defining a possible mUPD14 Syndrome.

Angelman syndrome (AS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by deletion of the maternally inherited 15q11q13 region, paternal uniparental disomy 15 [upd(15)pat], an imprinting defect of the maternal chromosome region 15q11q13, or a pathogenic mutation of the maternal UBE3A allele. Predisposing factors for upd(15)pat, such as nonhomologous robertsonian translocation involving chromosome 15, have been discussed, but no evidence for this predisposition has been published. In the present study, chromosomal analysis was performed in a child with AS, both parents, and the maternal grandparents. Methylation-specific multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MS-MLPA) was employed on DNA of the index individual, and microsatellite analysis was carried out on DNA of the index individual and his parents. The cytogenetic analysis showed that the mother and maternal grandfather are carriers of a rob(14;15). The index individual has a numerically normal karyotype, but MS-MLPA and microsatellite analyses confirmed the clinical diagnosis of AS and revealed a pattern highly suggestive of isodisomic upd(15)pat. This is the first report of an AS-affected individual with isodisomic upd(15)pat and a numerically normal karyotype that most likely results from a rob(14;15)-associated meiotic error in the maternal germline followed by monosomy 15 rescue in the early embryo.

Prenatal detection of uniparental disomy (UPD) is a methodological challenge, and a positive testing result requires comprehensive considerations on the clinical consequences as well as ethical issues. Whereas prenatal testing for UPD in families which are prone to UPD formation (e.g., in case of chromosomal variants, imprinting disorders) is often embedded in genetic counselling, the incidental identification of UPD is often more difficult to manage. With the increasing application of high-resolution test systems enabling the identification of UPD, an increase in pregnancies with incidental detection of UPD can be expected. This paper will cover the current knowledge on uniparental disomies, their clinical consequences with focus on prenatal testing, genetic aspects and predispositions, genetic counselling, as well as methods (conventional tests and high-throughput assays).
