Trisomy 14 mosaicism in a translocation 14q15q carrier: probable dissociation and isochromosome formation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A case of trisomy 14q mosaicism is described and compared with three other similar reported cases. The clinical picture is characterised by severe developmental retardation, failure to thrive, and somatic abnormalities including skeletal asymmetry, high arched or cleft palate, and low set dysplastic ears. The present chromosome imbalance probably resulted from dissociation of a balanced 14q15q translocation with subsequent formation of a 14q isochromosome.

متن کاملCharacterization of a Rare Mosaicism in Autosomal Translocation of t(5;21) Using Conventional Cytogenetics and FISH Methods
Background: Mosaicism of a normal cell population and an unbalanced autosomal chromosome rearrangement is rarely seen. If the abnormal cell line contributes to a minor part of soma, the phenotype is expected to be normal. Case Report: We report a 29-year-old woman who had balance chromosomal translocation of 46,XX,t(5;21) with a 2-year-old affected girl, characterized by mental retardation, dys...

Cytogenetic studies were performed on 150 cases of Down's syndrome (DS) in Iran. The standard trisomy 21 was found in 132 (88 % ) and translocation-trisomy 21 (+21) in 18 (12%) patients, i.e., t(21,21) in 1(0.63%) and mosaicism in 17(11.33%) cases. The comparison of the frequencies for mosaicism between different populations such as Denmark, Hungary, Egypt, Iraq, India, Australia and Iran ...
متن کاملAre de novo rea(21;21) chromosomes really de novo?
We report a rare case of recurrent trisomy 21 caused by an isochromosome 21q and what is very likely to be maternal germ-line cell mosaicism. Over 90% of cases of rob(21;21) reported in the literature are due to an isochromosome 21q, with a risk of recurrence of more than 10%.

Although, deletion of short arm of chromosome 18 is one of the most frequent autosomal terminal deletions, mosaic form of 18p deletion is infrequently observed. Furthermore, prenatally detected cases of 18p deletion and isochromosome 18q mosaicism are extremely rare. Herein, we present a case of del(18p)/i(18q) mosaicism, prenatally detected after chori- onic villus sampling. A 37-year-old woma...
