Abstract Background Full or partial monosomy of chromosome (chr) 21 is a very rare abnormal cytogenetic finding. It is characterized by variable sizes and deletion breakpoints on the long arm (q) of chr 21 that lead to a broad spectrum of phenotypes that include an increased risk of birth defects, developmental delay and intellectual deficit. Case presentation: We report a 37-year-old G1P0 woman initially screened by non-invasive prenatal testing with no positive findings that was followed by an 18-week anatomy scan with a fetal finding of duplication of the superior vena cava (SVC). The medical and family history was otherwise uneventful. After appropriate genetic counseling, amniocentesis was performed to evaluate suspected chromosomal anomalies. Conclusions Fluorescent in situ hybridization revealed loss of one chr 21 signal that was further delineated by chromosomal microarray analysis on uncultured amniocytes as a terminal 10 Mb deletion on chr 21q. Karyotype and microarrays on cultured amniocytes showed two cell lines for a mosaic 21q terminal deletion and monosomy 21. The combined molecular cytogenetics results reported as mos 45,XX,-21[10]/46,XX,del(21)(q22)dn[20].nuc ish(D21S342/D21S341/D21S259 × 1)[100].arr[GRCh37] 21q11.2q22.12(15412676_36272993)x1 ~ 2,21q22.12q22.3(36431283_47612400)x1. Parental chromosomal analysis revealed normal karyotypes. Thus, this was a de novo mosaic full and partial monosomy of chr 21 in a case with SVC duplication. Despite the association of congenital heart disease with monsomy 21 we could not find any published literature or online databases for this cytogenetic abnormality. The patient terminated the pregnancy following the abnormal molecular cytogenetic results due to the possible challenges the baby would face if carried to term.

Ring Chromosome 6

Ring chromosome 6, r(6), is an extremely rare cytogenetic abnormality with clinical heterogeneity which arises typically de novo. The phenotypes of r(6) can be highly variable, ranging from almost normal to severe malformations and neurological defects. Up to now, only 33 cases have been reported in the literature. In this 10-year follow-up study, we report a case presenting distinctive facial features, severe developmental delay, and gray matter heterotopia with r(6) and terminal deletions of 6p25.3 (115426-384174, 268 kb) and 6q26-27 (168697778-170732033, 2.03 Mb) encompassing 2 and 15 candidate genes, respectively, which were detected using G-banding karyotyping, FISH, and chromosomal microarray analysis. We also analyzed the available information on the clinical features of the reported r(6) cases in order to provide more valuable information on genotype-phenotype correlations. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of gray matter heterotopia manifested in a patient with r(6) in China, and the deletions of 6p and 6q in our case are the smallest with the precise size of euchromatic material loss currently known.

Выяснение этиопатогенеза аномального фенотипа у пациентов со сбалансированными транслокациями является актуальным аспектом в современной клинической цитогенетике. Формирование аномалий развития может быть ассоциировано с наличием скрытого геномного дисбаланса как в точках разрывов, так и на хромосомах, не задействованных в перестройке. Целью данного исследования явилась этиологическая диагностика геномного дисбаланса у пациента со сбалансированной транслокацией и аномалиями развития. Для детекции геномного дисбаланса у пациента со сбалансированной транслокацией использовали хромосомный микроматричный анализ (ХМА) и FISH-исследование. У пациента со сбалансированной транслокацией при ХМА была выявлена делеция на хромосоме 8, не задействованной в транслокации. Таким образом, в статье представлен новый случай делеции 8q22.2q22.3 у пациента со сбалансированной транслокацией t(1;6) и аномалиями развития вследствие делеции. Identification of the etiopathogenesis of the abnormal phenotype in patients with balanced translocations is current trend in cytogenetic laboratories. The formation of developmental anomalies can be associated with the presence of a cryptic genomic imbalance both at breakpoints and on chromosomes not involved in rearrangements.The aim of this study is diagnostics of genomic imbalance in a patient with balanced translocation and abnormal phenotype. The case was characterized by GTG-banding, chromosomal microarray analysis and FISH diagnosis. We present a new case of deletion 8q22.2-q22.3 in child with balanced translocation t(1;6) and developmental delay/congenital defects due to deletion.

Background: Intellectual developmental disorder with cardiac defects and dysmorphic facies (IDDCDF, MIM 618316) is a newly described disorder. It is characterized by global developmental delay, intellectual disability and speech delay, congenital cardiac malformations, and dysmorphic facial features. Biallelic pathogenic variants of TMEM94 are associated with IDDCDF. Methods and Results: In a prenatal setting, where fetal abnormalities were detected using antenatal sonography, we used trio-exome sequencing (trio-ES) in conjunction with chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) to identify two novel homozygous loss of function variants in the TMEM94 gene (c.606dupG and c.2729-2A>G) in two unrelated Saudi Arabian families. Conclusions: This study provides confirmation that TMEM94 variants may cause IDDCDF. For the first time we describe the pathogenicity of TMEM94 defects detected during the prenatal period.

Chromosome 20

Ring chromosome 20 (r20) is characterized by intellectual impairment, behavioral disorders, and refractory epilepsy. We report a patient presenting nonmosaic ring chromosome 20 followed by duplication and deletion in 20q13.33 with seizures, delayed neuropsychomotor development and language, mild hypotonia, low weight gain, and cognitive deficit. Chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) enabled us to restrict a chromosomal segment and thus integrate clinical and molecular data with systems biology. With this approach, we were able to identify candidate genes that may help to explain the consequences of deletions in 20q13.33. In our analysis, we observed five hubs (ARFGAP1, HELZ2, COL9A3, PTK6, and EEF1A2), seven bottlenecks (CHRNA4, ARFRP1, GID8, COL9A3, PTK6, ZBTB46, and SRMS), and two H-B nodes (PTK6 and COL9A3). The candidate genes may play an important role in the developmental delay and seizures observed in r20 patients. Gene ontology included microtubule-based movement, nucleosome assembly, DNA repair, and cholinergic synaptic transmission. Defects in these bioprocesses are associated with the development of neurological diseases, intellectual disability, neuropathies, and seizures. Therefore, in this study, we can explore molecular cytogenetic data, identify proteins through network analysis of protein-protein interactions, and identify new candidate genes associated with the main clinical findings in patients with 20q13.33 deletions.

Trisomy 16

Abstract Background Trisomy 16 (T16) is thought to be the most frequent chromosome abnormality at conception, which is often associated with a high risk of abnormal outcomes. Methods A retrospective analysis of 14 cases with high risk of T16 by noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) was conducted. All cases in the analysis involved prenatal diagnosis, karyotyping and chromosomal microarray analysis. Case reports NIPT detected 12 cases of T16 and 2 cases of T16 mosaicism. Prenatal diagnosis confirmed 5 true positive cases and 9 false positive cases. Among the 5 true positive cases, 3 cases had ultrasound abnormalities. All of the 9 false positive cases continued their pregnancies. The newborns who were from these 9 false positive cases except 1 case (case 7) had low birth weights (< 2.5 kg) and there were also 2 premature deliveries. Conclusion NIPT serves as a fast and early prenatal screening method, giving clues to chromosome abnormalities and providing guidance for managing pregnancy. Confined placental mosaicism in 16 pregnancies may be at higher risk for preterm delivery.

Heart Defect

Many studies have shown that molecular karyotyping is an effective diagnostic tool in individuals with developmental delay/intellectual disability. We report on a de novo interstitial 1q22q23.1 microdeletion, 1.6 Mb in size, detected in a patient with short stature, microcephaly, hypoplastic corpus callosum, cleft palate, minor facial anomalies, congenital heart defect, camptodactyly of the 4-5th fingers, and intellectual disability. Chromosomal microarray analysis revealed a 1.6-Mb deletion in the 1q22q23.1 region, arr[GRCh37] 1q22q23.1(155630752_157193893)×1. Real-time PCR analysis confirmed its de novo origin. The deleted region encompasses 50 protein-coding genes, including the morbid genes APOA1BP, ARHGEF2, LAMTOR2, LMNA, NTRK1, PRCC, RIT1, SEMA4A, and YY1AP1. Although the unique phenotype observed in our patient can arise from the haploinsufficiency of the dosage-sensitive LMNA gene, the dosage imbalance of other genes implicated in the rearrangement could also contribute to the phenotype. Further studies are required for the delineation of the phenotype associated with this rare chromosomal alteration and elucidation of the critical genes for manifestation of the specific clinical features.
