A Case of the 7p22.2 Microduplication: Refinement of the Critical Chromosome Region for 7p22 Duplication Syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a 14-year-old Hispanic male with a microduplication of the chromosome 7p22.2 band detected through microarray analysis. He had a history of developmental delay and mild intellectual disability, asthma, myopia, proportionate short stature, dysmorphic features, and Achilles tendon release. This appears to be the first report of a patient with a microduplication of only the chromosome 7p22.2 band and is now the smallest reported duplication to date to include features in common with the chromosome 7p22 duplication syndrome.

Rett syndrome (RS) is a neurodevelopmental infantile disease characterized by an early normal psychomotor development followed by a regression in the acquisition of normal developmental stages. In the majority of cases, it leads to a sporadic mutation in the MECP2 gene, which is located on the X chromosome. However, this syndrome has also been associated with microdeletions, gene translocations...

Introduction. More than 60 cases of 7p22 duplications and deletions have been reported with over 16 of them occurring without concomitant chromosomal abnormalities. Patient and Methods. We report a 29-month-old male diagnosed with autism. Whole genome chromosome SNP microarray (REVEAL) demonstrated a 1.3 Mb interstitial duplication of 7p22.1 ->p22.1 arr 7p22.1 (5,436,367-6,762,394), the second ...
متن کاملA rare case of a boy with de novo microduplication at 5q35.2q35.3 from central Brazil.
Genomic disorders are genetic diseases that are caused by rearrangements of chromosomal material via deletions, duplications, and inversions of unique genomic segments at specific regions. Such rearrangements could result from recurrent non-allelic homologous recombination between low copy repeats. In cases where the breakpoints flank the low copy repeats, deletion of chromosomal segments is of...

Chromosome 5p13 duplication syndrome (OMIM #613174), a contiguous gene syndrome involving duplication of several genes on chromosome 5p13 including NIPBL (OMIM 608667), has been described in rare patients with developmental delay and learning disability, behavioral problems and peculiar facial dysmorphisms. 5p13 duplications described so far present with variable sizes, from 0.25 to 13.6 Mb, an...
متن کاملA 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 ...
