Maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 14 confined to an interstitial segment (14q23-14q24.2).
Maternal uniparental disomy for the complete long arm of chromosome 14 has been reported in 14 patients to date and is associated with a specific pattern of malformation. We report a child with clinical features of this syndrome who exhibits maternal uniparental disomy confined to a specific interstitial segment of chromosome 14.
متن کاملMyoclonus-dystonia due to maternal uniparental disomy.
BACKGROUND Myoclonus-dystonia is a movement disorder often associated with mutations in the maternally imprinted epsilon-sarcoglycan (SGCE) gene located on chromosome 7q21. Silver-Russell syndrome is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by prenatal and postnatal growth restriction and a characteristic facies, caused in some cases by maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 7. OBJECTIVES To...
متن کاملMaternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 13 in a phenotypically normal child.
A case of maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 13 is described. The subject is a phenotypically normal male who inherited a t(13;13)(p11.2;p11.2) from his mother who is a carrier of this translocation. The mother was ascertained through a history of recurrent abortion and is phenotypically normal. The translocation in both subjects was studied by cytogenetic and DNA analysis and appears to...
متن کاملDifferentially methylated regions in maternal and paternal uniparental disomy for chromosome 7
DNA methylation is a hallmark of genomic imprinting and differentially methylated regions (DMRs) are found near and in imprinted genes. Imprinted genes are expressed only from the maternal or paternal allele and their normal balance can be disrupted by uniparental disomy (UPD), the inheritance of both chromosomes of a chromosome pair exclusively from only either the mother or the father. Matern...
متن کاملMaternal uniparental disomy for chromosome 14.
We report the first case of maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 14 in humans. The male proband inherited a balanced 13;14 Robertsonian translocation from his mother. Molecular studies showed that neither chromosome 14 was of paternal origin. The proband is of above average intelligence, but he has hydrocephalus, a bifid uvula, premature puberty, short stature, and small testes. It is not ...
