Chromosome: A Possible Partial Duplication
نویسنده
چکیده
One morphological variant of chromosome 1 in man differs from the more usual form of this chromosome in being longer and more submetacentric. This is due to increased length of the long arm and because there is apposition of chromatids in the paracentromeric region of the long arm (q). This variant, or similar appearing variants ofchromosome 1, have been found in 1 per 100 to 1 per 1000 newborns in the United States (Lubs and Ruddle, 1971). Previous studies have reported lq + variants in individuals with a variety of anomalies as well as in phenotypically normal individuals (Cooper and Hernits, 1963; Donahue et al, 1968). Since the same anomaly has never been associated with the variant chromosome in more than one instance, and since phenotypically normal individuals have also been reported carrying the variant chromosome, it can be concluded that it is a normal variant which causes no obvious phenotypic abnormality. Family studies of 1 q + variants have, together with gene linkage studies, served to assign a series of genes to chromosome 1. These include the loci for the Duffy blood group (Donahue et al, 1968; Ying and Ives, 1968), congenital pulverulant cataract (Renwick and Lawler, 1963/1964), and amylase 2 (Karamyt, Adaimek, and Vrba, 1971; Hill, Rowe, and Lovrien, 1972). We investigated a 3-generation Caucasian family with a variant chromosome 1 (Fig. 1). The proposita was originally ascertained because of mild mental retardation but had no physical anomalies. Other members of the family were phenotypically normal. We designed studies (1) to determine the effect of the hypotonic treatment upon the appearance of the variant; and (2) to learn if the apparent increase in length was due to uncoiling or to the addition of chromosomal material to lq.

A Rare Case of Duplication of Chromosome 2 (q31.3q36.3) in a 4.5-year-old Boy and Review of the Literature
De novo duplication of 2q is very rare. Most cases of 2q duplications result from familial translocations, and are associated with simultaneous monosomy of another chromosome segment. To our knowledge and search in English literature there are less than 20 reported cases of isolated 2q duplication. Hereby we introduce a 4.5-year-old Iranian boy of a non-consanguineous marriage who was referred ...

A patient with a small deletion of the short arm and a partial duplication of the long arm of chromosome 5 is described. The main clinical features include craniofacial dysmorphism, growth failure, developmental retardation, and congenital heart defect. The mother and male sib each carried an inv(5) (p15.3q35) but were phenotypically normal. The possible clinical manifestations of partial dupli...

We report on a girl with a partial duplication of the proximal part of the long arm of chromosome 10, confirmed by chromosome painting. The phenotypic findings are compared to those found in six other published cases with the same karyotype. Recognition of a specific partial proximal trisomy 10q syndrome seems to be possible, consisting of mild to moderate developmental delay, postnatal growth ...

We report on a newborn female patient with a de novo pure partial duplication of 7q. The clinical features are compared with those of 19 cases from the literature with pure partial duplication of different segments of 7q. Conventional cytogenetic investigation led to the diagnosis of duplication of bands q21.3 to q35. This was confirmed by chromosome painting and by fluorescence in situ hybridi...

The infant had multiple congenital abnormalities including cranial anomalies, facial dysmorphism, anterior webbing of the neck, cardiac anomalie...
