SUMMARY Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS) is caused by deletions in the short arm of chromosome 4 (4p) and occurs in about one per 20,000 births. Patients with WHS display a set of highly variable characteristics including craniofacial dysgenesis, mental retardation, speech problems, congenital heart defects, short stature and a variety of skeletal anomalies. Analysis of patients with 4p deletions has identified two WHS critical regions (WHSCRs); however, deletions targeting mouse WHSCRs do not recapitulate the classical WHS defects, and the genes contributing to WHS have not been conclusively established. Recently, the human FGFRL1 gene, encoding a putative fibroblast growth factor (FGF) decoy receptor, has been implicated in the craniofacial phenotype of a WHS patient. Here, we report that targeted deletion of the mouse Fgfrl1 gene recapitulates a broad array of WHS phenotypes, including abnormal craniofacial development, axial and appendicular skeletal anomalies, and congenital heart defects. ...

Rationale: Chromosomal rearrangements are the major cause of multiple congenital abnormalities and intellectual disability. reports of similar aberrations and discuss possible functional effects of genes included in the deleted and/or duplicated regions. Partial trisomy 1q/monosomy 21q has only been reported once before, and this is the first Rabbit Polyclonal to DNA Polymerase lambda report of partial monosomy 1q/trisomy 21q. The expressed phenotype of mirroring chromosomal aberrations in our patients supports the previous suggestion that this dosage effect of some of the genes included in deleted/duplicated regions may result in opposite phenotypes of the patients. Patient (Fig. ?(Fig.1III.4.1III.4. A and III.4. B), currently a 10-year-old, is a first female child of young, nonconsanguineous parents with complicated family history (Fig. ?(Fig.1).1).

Kabuki Syndrome. Kabuki syndrome is a rare, multisystem disorder characterized by multiple abnormalities including distinctive facial features, growth delays, varying degrees of intellectual disability, skeletal abnormalities, and short stature.The specific symptoms associated with Kabuki syndrome can vary greatly from one person to another. The first gene is KMT2D (formerly MLL2) and the second gene, which accounts for fewer cases of Kabuki syndrome, is KDM6A. Clinical genetic testing is available for both genes. Kabuki syndrome was first reported in medical literature in 1981 by Japanese physicians. The disorder was originally called Kabuki-makeup syndrome because the facial features of many affected children resembled the makeup used by actors in kabuki, a form of Japanese theater. The term makeup has since been dropped and the preferred term for the disorder is Kabuki syndrome.. Signs and Symptoms Some symptoms of Kabuki syndrome are present at birth (congenital). Other symptoms become ...

A 7 year old male child with cleft soft palate, omphalocele, epispedias, posterior prominence of the skull, prominent forehead with high anterior hair line, dextraposition of the heart, right sided inguinal hernia, mental retardation, generalized hypotonia and flexion deformity of both toes and fingers presented to the paediatric clinic, Teaching Hospital Karapitiya, for the follow up management. Furthermore, the child had subtle dysmorphic features including, broad nasal bridge, hypertelorism and low set ears. He was the second child of the family and there were no other family history of congenital anomalies. The karyotype was 46XY. Mutations in chromosome bands 3p12-21, ZIC3 gene in human X chromosome and Wolf- Hirschhorn syndrome involving heterozygous deletion of 4p16.3 region (4p syndrome) can be presented with above clinical features and it is necessary to investigate the patient further for the genetic involvement.. ...

Parental balanced reciprocal translocations can result in partial aneuploidies in the offspring due to unbalanced meiotic segregation during gametogenesis. Herein, we report the phenotypic and molecular cytogenetic characterization of a 2 years and 4 months old female child with partial trisomy 7q22 → qter. This is the first such reported case resulting from a parental balanced translocation involving the long arms of chromosomes 7 and 14. The phenotype of the proband was compared with that of previously reported cases of trisomy 7q21 → qter or 7q22 → qter resulting from parental balanced translocations. The proband was born pre-term to a 34-year-old mother with a history of two first trimester miscarriages and an early infant death. She was referred at the age of 8 months for genetic evaluation due to prenatal and postnatal growth retardation, developmental delay and multiple congenital anomalies. On clinical evaluation, she had craniofacial dysmorphic features such as scaphocephaly, large

Pallister Killian syndrome (PKS, OMIM 601803) is a rare genetic disorder with a distinct phenotype caused by tissue- limited mosaicism tetrasomy of the short arm of chromosome 12, which usually cytogenetically presents as an extra isochromosome 12p. Wide phenotypic variability in PKS has been reported, ranging from pre-to perinatal death due to multiple congenital anomalies, especially diaphragmatic hernia, and classic phenotypes including seizures, severe developmental delay, macrosomia at birth, deafness, and distinct dysmorphic features, such as coarse face, temporal alopecia, a small nose with anteverted nostrils, long philtrum, and hypo−/hyper- pigmented streaks on the skin. Karyotypes obtained from cultured peripheral lymphocytes of 13 cases, who were diagnosed as PKS, were normal, while karyotypes obtained from cultured skin samples and buccal mucosa revealed the supernumerary mosaic i(12p). Mosaic karyotype was found in both fibroblast and buccal mucosa in 14 of 15 patients in our series,

Bethesda, Md., Sun., Aug. 15, 2010 - Using a new, rapid and less expensive DNA sequencing strategy, scientists have discovered genetic alterations that account for most cases of Kabuki syndrome, a rare disorder that causes multiple birth defects and mental retardation. Instead of sequencing the entire human genome, the new approach sequences just the exome, the 1-2 percent of the human genome that contains protein-coding genes.. Kabuki syndrome, which has an estimated incidence of 1 in 32,000 births, was originally described by Japanese scientists in 1981. Patients with the disorder often have distinct facial features that resemble the make-up worn by actors of Kabuki, a Japanese theatrical form.. The work, published in todays advanced online edition of Nature Genetics, was carried out by scientists at the University of Washington in Seattle as part of a larger effort to use second generation DNA sequencing technologies in new ways to identify genes for rare disorders. The project is funded ...

Chromosomal abnormalities have been identified as the main cause of developmental delay, mental retardation, autistic spectrum disorders as well as multiple congenital abnormalities. Until recently, the only available method of detecting chromosomal abnormalities was conventional G-banding karyotype, which screens all chromosomes for aneuploidy and segmental lesions up to the limit of 5-10 Mb.. Chromosomal microarray analysis with molecular karyotype (aCGH) is a new method that enables the detection of chromosomal abnormalities that are accompanied by a change in the copy number of genetic loci (aneuploidy, deletions, duplications) across the entire genome of a patient, with an effective resolution of up to 50Kb.. Numerous studies have shown the benefits of applying molecular karyotype to patients with developmental delay and multiple congenital abnormalities of unknown etiology, leading to the establishment of molecular karyotype as the first tier test for these patients. In particular, it has ...

The study aimed to analyse the clinical courses of aggressively treated neonates with cytogenetically confirmed trisomy 18, with special attention focused on the efficiency of prenatal diagnostics, associated malformations, therapeutic dilemmas and outcomes. We investigated retrospectively the data concerning 20 neonates with trisomy 18, admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in Katowice between January 2000 and February 2005. Their birth weights ranged from 650 g to 2400 g, mean 1812 g; gestational age ranged from 27 to 42 weeks, median 38 weeks. Intrauterine growth retardation was noticed in 90% of neonates. Trisomy 18 was suspected prenatally in 40% of cases. Most (80%) of newborns were delivered by caesarean section (92% of neonates with prenatally unrecognized chromosomal defects, 62% of neonates with trisomy 18 suspicion) and 70% of infants needed respiratory support immediately after birth. Cardiac defects were present in 95%, central nervous system malformations in 65%, ...

September 24, 2018. Recent findings suggest that approximately one-quarter of infants with suspected or confirmed Zika virus exposure during the 2015-2016 Rio de Janeiro outbreak developed eye abnormalities. Researchers said that regardless of laboratory confirmation, all infants born during Zika outbreaks should be universally screened for eye abnormalities.. Irena Tsui, MD, an ophthalmologist at UCLA, and colleagues wrote that lab confirmation of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection in neonates may be difficult for several reasons, including the observation that many cases of ZIKV infection are asymptomatic. These cases, according to the researchers, tend not to get tested for the infection. Additionally, a negative test result cannot rule out infection because the virus is detectable through testing for only 3 to 16 days after symptom onset.. Read more. ...

NIH Rare Diseases : 50 chromosome 11q deletion is a chromosome abnormality that occurs when there is a missing (deleted) copy of genetic material on the long arm (q) of chromosome 11. the severity of the condition and the signs and symptoms depend on the size and location of the deletion and which genes are involved. features that often occur in people with chromosome 11q deletion include developmental delay, intellectual disability, behavioral problems and distinctive facial features. chromosome testing of both parents can provide more information on whether or not the deletion was inherited. in most cases, parents do not have any chromosomal anomaly. however, sometimes one parent is found to have a balanced translocation, where a piece of a chromosome has broken off and attached to another one with no gain or loss of genetic material. the balanced translocation normally does not cause any signs or symptoms, but it increases the risk for having an affected child with a chromosomal anomaly like ...

As of March 2016, 6.36 Mb of sequence (83 genes, 1557 exons) generated in our lab was compared between Sanger and NextGen methodologies. We detected no differences between the two methods. The comparison involved 6400 total sequence variants (differences from the reference sequences). Of these, 6144 were nucleotide substitutions and 256 were insertions or deletions. About 65% of the variants were heterozygous and 35% homozygous. The insertions and deletions ranged in length from 1 to over 100 nucleotides.. In silico validation of insertions and deletions in 20 replicates of 5 genes was also performed. The validation included insertions and deletions of lengths between 1 and 100 nucleotides. Insertions tested in silico: 2200 between 1 and 5 nucleotides, 625 between 6 and 10 nucleotides, 29 between 11 and 20 nucleotides, 25 between 21 and 49 nucleotides, and 23 at or greater than 50 nucleotides, with the largest at 98 nucleotides.

Dysplastic kidneys are prevalent in over 95% of all identified cases. When this occurs, microscopic cysts develop within the kidney and slowly destroy it, causing it to enlarge to 10 to 20 times its original size. The level of amniotic fluid within the womb may be significantly altered or remain normal, and a normal level of fluid should not be criteria for exclusion of diagnosis.[citation needed] Occipital encephalocele is present in 60% to 80% of all cases, and post-axial polydactyly is present in 55% to 75% of the total number of identified cases. Bowing or shortening of the limbs are also common.[citation needed] Finding at least two of the three phenotypic features of the classical triad, in the presence of normal karyotype, makes the diagnosis solid. Regular ultrasounds and pro-active prenatal care can usually detect symptoms early on in a pregnancy.[citation needed] ...

In 1969, Norio Niikawa MD, a geneticist in Japan was treating a child patient presenting with unique facial characteristics and various health problems. Never having seen this constellation of symptoms before, Dr Niikawa wondered if he was faced with an undiagnosed condition, a disorder with a genetic basis. Over the next several years, this physician treated several other patients with the same symptoms in his outpatient genetics clinic, furthering support for a disorder never before diagnosed.[23] In 1979, Dr Niikawa presented his findings and hypothesis at the first Japan Dysmorphology Conference. A fellow physician at this conference, Yoshikazu Kuroki, recognised the symptoms, and realised that he had also seen several paediatric patients with this presentation; he presented two of his own cases at the second annual conference the following year. In 1981, the two doctors separately submitted articles on this new diagnosis to the Journal of Pediatrics.[5][23][24] Dr Niikawa coined the term ...

Orofaciodigital syndrome I (OFD1; MIM 311200) is an X-linked dominant disease with lethality in males. It is characterized by facial, oral cavity and digit malformations. Typical facial and oral cavity findings include hypertelorism, broad nasal bridge, hypoplastic malar cartilage, small median cleft or pseudocleft of the upper lip, hyperplastic oral frenuli, cleft palate, bifid or lobulated tongue, lingual hamartomas, and hypodontia. Hand malformations consist of brachydactyly, syndactyly, clinodactyly, and occasionally polydactyly. Approximately 50% of the patients have polycystic kidneys. Fibrocystic disease of the liver and pancreas can be present. Central nervous system malformations are variable and found in about 40% of the patients. OFD1 is caused by mutations in the OFD1 gene, which codes for oral-facial-digital syndrome 1 protein. Mutations in this gene can also cause Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome, type 2 (SGBS2; MIM 300209) and Joubert syndrome 10 (JBTS10; MIM 300804).. Read less ...

Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome) was first reported in 1960 by Edward et al. in a newborn with multiple abnormalities, and is a broad clinical presentation involving more than 130 different abnormalities. Most cases die during the embryonic or fetal life. Only 5% - 10% of the live-born cases survive the first year of life. Prenatal diagnosis is possible. However, the prenatal detection compels parents to make a difficult decision. After the birth of the baby, it also places a material and moral burden on both the family and the national economy due to multiple congenital abnormalities and limited lifespan. On the other hand, pediatricians experience difficulties in making a decision on interventions, especially cardiac surgery and resuscitation, due to the comorbid abnormalities in the neonatal intensive care units, in which medical ethics arises for discussion. The current study presents a case diagnosed with trisomy 18 by chromosome analysis, who was found to have multiple abnormalities with

BACKGROUND: Immunodeficiency, centromeric instability and facial dysmorphism (ICF syndrome) is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterised by facial dysmorphism, immunoglobulin deficiency and branching of chromosomes 1, 9 and 16 after PHA stimulation of lymphocytes. Hypomethylation of DNA of a small fraction of the genome is an unusual feature of ICF patients which is explained by mutations in the DNA methyltransferase gene DNMT3B in some, but not all, ICF patients. OBJECTIVE: To obtain a comprehensive description of the clinical features of this syndrome as well as genotype-phenotype correlations in ICF patients. METHODS: Data on ICF patients were obtained by literature search and additional information by means of questionnaires to corresponding authors. Results and CONCLUSIONS: 45 patients all with proven centromeric instability were included in this study. Facial dysmorphism was found to be a common characteristic (n = 41/42), especially epicanthic folds, hypertelorism, flat nasal ...

Background. Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome (SGBS) is an X-linked recessive overgrowth syndrome manifesting primarily in boys and characterised by macrosomia, distinctive facial features and multiple congenital abnormalities. Although this rare condition is thought to be under-diagnosed, making a diagnosis is important as affected boys have a 7.5% risk of developing visceral tumours and surveillance is warranted. Mutations in GPC3 are found in up to 70% of boys affected with SGBS. Objectives. A clinical and molecular investigation of two boys with SGBS, probands B and S, and their mothers. Documentation of the clinical phenotype could assist with diagnosis in affected boys and will lead to early initiation of tumour surveillance. Methods. Hospital folders were reviewed and clinical consultations arranged for both probands and their mothers.

Patient 5 is a 2-year-old male of mixed ancestry who had a severe right-sided posterolateral CDH, micrognathia, a U-shaped palatal cleft, paternally inherited autosomal dominant polydactyly, and dysmorphic features consistent with a 16p11.2 deletion which were previously described.17 He continues to need dietary supplementation via G-tube and supplemental oxygen when ill.. Patient 6 was a male infant conceived by intrauterine insemination with non-consanguineous Caucasian parents as donors. A left-sided diaphragmatic hernia was diagnosed prenatally. After birth, both of his thumbs were found to be proximally placed, hypoplastic and non-articulating, with the left thumb having a pedunculated appearance. Additional findings included an extra thoracic vertebra and 13 pairs of ribs. He required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation starting on the first day of ...

Following reconstruction of the oesophagus a trans-anastomotic (TAT) tube is placed. This must not be dislodged in the post-operative period as replacement of it can cause damage to the repaired oesophagus.. Timing of extubation needs to be carefully considered as attempts at reintubation can cause disruption of the ligated tracheo-oesophageal fistula.. Feed post-operatively and the timing of a contrast study will be recommended by the paediatric surgical team.. Completion of work-up for any associated anomalies needs to be completed once the neonate has recovered from surgery (ECHO, renal ultrasound, spinal ultrasound).. The nursing goals in long-gap oesophageal atresia are: prevention of aspiration and nursing of the upper pouch as pre-operatively, provision of optimal nutrition including care of the gastrostomy, facilitate normal growth and development and encourage the parents to be involved in the daily care of the infant.. ...

We report on a 4-year-old girl who presented with microcephaly, multiple minor anomalies of face and limbs, congenital heart defect, hypotonia, neuropsychomotor delay, deafness and seizures. A GTG-banded karyotype identified an additional fragment of unknown origin on the terminal region of 4p. Parental karyotypes were normal. FISH analysis using a whole chromosome paint probe for chromosome 4 and subtelomere probes showed a signal on the entire add (4) chromosome and loss of the 4p subtelomere region, respectively. Additional analysis using microsatellite markers for chromosome 4 and whole-genome array comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) identified a duplication of the region 4p13 4p16.3. Her karyotype was thus interpreted as an inverted duplication with terminal deletion of 4p: 46,XX,der(4)(:p13 p16.3::p16.3 qter). The clinical features of our patient differed from those typically observed in Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome and were more compatible with duplication 4(p14 p16.3), with ...

NIH Rare Diseases : 50 townes-brocks syndrome is a genetic condition characterized by an obstruction of the anal opening (imperforate anus), abnormally shaped ears, and thumb malformations. most affected individuals have at least two of these three main features. other signs and symptoms may include kidney abnormalities, hearing loss, heart defects, genital malformations and intellectual disability. the condition is caused by mutations in the sall1 gene which provides instructions for making proteins that are involved in the formation of tissues and organs before birth. in rare cases, the syndrome may be caused by a mutation in the sall4 gene. inheritance is autosomal dominant. imperforate anus is corrected with surgery as soon as possible, after the baby is born. the hearing loss should be treated early; the thumb malformation is also treated with surgery when needed. last updated: 10/24/2016 ...

Al-Naggar et al. (2004) described the first case of OSCS in Kuwait. This female child was born to distantly related Bedouin parents. Both parents were healthy, as were nine older siblings. Pregnancy was complicated by polyhydramnios and early preeclampsia. At birth, she was noted to have craniofacial dysmorphism, a broad forehead with frontal bossing, bitemporal recession, triangular skull, widely opened anterior fontanel, hypertelorism, telecanthus, epicanthal folds, a wide nasal bridge, high arched palate, and wide spaced nipples. She had a VSD resulting in a pancystolic murmur, and laryngotracheomalacia leading to noisy breathing. At 1-year of age, she was found to have length and weight below the 3rd centile, while OFC was greater than 75th centile. By this time, she had psychomotor retardation. From the age of 2-years, she started to suffer from epileptic fits, requiring hospitalizations. Radiological analysis revealed macrocephaly with sclerosis of the base of the skull, overgrowth of ...

Mutations in the human T-box transcription factor gene TBX3 underlie the autosomal dominant disorder known as ulnar-mammary syndrome (UMS; OMIM 181450) (Bamshad et al., 1997). Human TBX3 was identified during an attempt to positionally clone the gene responsible for another developmental disorder, Holt-Oram syndrome, which had been mapped to chromosome 12q. Although it was later found that Holt-Oram syndrome is caused by mutations in the closely linked human TBX5 gene (Basson et al., 1997; Li et al., 1997), mutations in TBX3 were identified in individuals with ulnar-mammary syndrome, a developmental disorder that was also mapped to this chromosomal region (Bamshad et al., 1995; Bamshad et al., 1997). A number of different mutations in TBX3 have been identified in families with ulnar-mammary syndrome, most of which are predicted to encode truncated proteins or missense mutations resulting in loss of function (Coll et al., 2002) (for a review, see Papaioannou, 2001). UMS is fully penetrant but ...

Symptoms of the following disorders can be similar to those of Lenz microphthalmia syndrome. Comparisons may be useful for a differential diagnosis: Cataract-dental syndrome is an extremely rare inherited disorder that is apparent at birth (congenital). It is characterized by abnormalities of the teeth; ears that are flared forward (anteverted) and unusually prominent; and/or clouding of the lens of the eyes (congenital cataracts), resulting in poor vision. In addition, the front (anterior), clear portion of the eye through which light passes (cornea) may be unusually small (microcornea), the entire eye may be abnormally small (microphthalmia), and/or the eyelids may droop (ptosis); affected individuals may also exhibit involuntary, rapid eye movements (nystagmus). In some cases, additional physical abnormalities and/or mental retardation may also be present. The range and severity of symptoms may vary from case to case. Cataract-dental (Nance-Horan) syndrome is inherited as an X-linked ...

Fetal behavioural patterns were examined to test whether they could be used to localise sites of brain damage antenatally. Decreased fetal movement, persistent nonreactive fetal heart rate (FHR) pattern, and/or central nervous system malformation were used as indicators of possible neurological impairment. Ten fetuses tested in this way underwent further ultrasound examination observing movement of the extremities, chest wall (breathing), and eye and mouth, and active/quiet FHR patterns. Eight of these 10 fetuses were found on postnatal examination to have a brain impairment. The fetuses having potential in utero brain impairment were divided into four groups: those with (1) lesion sites at, or caudal to, the pons-medulla that were specifically identified by fetal behaviour, (2) diffuse lesions in the brain which, although resulting in abnormal behaviour, could not be localised by this behaviour, (3) lesions localised in the cerebral hemisphere(s) but with no abnormal behaviour and (4) ...

The multiple anomalies that can occur with EA/TEF have been described by an acronym, VATER or VACTRRL. This acronym stands for v ertebral defect, a norectal malformation, c ardiac defect, t racheoesophageal fistula, r enal anomaly, r adial dysplasia, and l imb defects. About 10% of children with EA have what is called the VATER syndrome. More infants with Type A esophageal atresia have multiple anomalies than those with Type B, the combined EA/TEF. Healthy infants who have no complications, such as heart or lung problems or other types of intestinal malformations, can usually have esophageal surgery within the first 24 hours of life. The operation will be delayed for low birth weight infants or those with complicated malformations, usually until their nutritional status can be improved and other problems resolved sufficiently to reduce the risks of surgery. H-type TEF, which has fewer symptoms and is typically diagnosed when the child is at least four months old, is also easier to repair when ...

Genomic microarrays have been used as the first-tier cytogenetic diagnostic test for patients with developmental delay/intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorders and/or multiple congenital anomalies. The use of SNP arrays has revealed regions of homozygosity in the genome which can lead to identification of uniparental disomy and parental consanguinity in addition to copy number variations. Consanguinity is associated with an increased risk of birth defects and autosomal recessive disorders. However, the frequency of parental consanguinity in children with developmental disabilities is unknown, and consanguineous couples may not be identified during doctors visit or genetic counseling without microarray. We studied 607 proband pediatric patients referred for developmental disorders using a 4 × 180 K array containing both CGH and SNP probes. Using 720, 360, 180, and 90 Mb as the expected sizes of homozygosity for an estimated coefficient of inbreeding (F) 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, parental

Genetic inheritance is controversial. It is present in males only as it is in most cases inherited as X-linked (gene map locus is Xq27-Xq28). However, an autosomal inheritance cannot be excluded in some cases and females with heterozygotes expression may exhibit microcephaly, short stature, and/or malformations of the fingers or toes. A molecular genetic testing has been developed and allows to measure the BCOR (MCOPS2 locus) believed responsible for the disease. One additional locus on the X chromosome (MCOPS1) is known to be associated with Lenz Microphthalmia Syndrome (LMS). ...

Background: The chromosome 17q21.31 microdeletion syndrome is a novel genomic disorder that has originally been identified using high resolution genome analyses in patients with unexplained mental retardation. Aim: We report the molecular and/or clinical characterisation of 22 individuals with the 17q21.31 microdeletion syndrome. Results: We estimate the prevalence of the syndrome to be 1 in 16 000 and show that it is highly underdiagnosed. Extensive clinical examination reveals that developmental delay, hypotonia, facial dysmorphisms including a long face, a tubular or pear-shaped nose and a bulbous nasal tip, and a friendly/amiable behaviour are the most characteristic features. Other clinically important features include epilepsy, heart defects and kidney/urologic anomalies. Using high resolution oligonucleotide arrays we narrow the 17q21.31 critical region to a 424 kb genomic segment (007: 41046729-41470954, hg17) encompassing at least six genes, among which is the gene encoding microtubule

Case Study: Kabuki Syndrome. As a demonstration of DNASTARs pipeline, a rare Mendelian disorder known as Kabuki syndrome was used. Exome data sets were obtained through dbGaP. These data sets were from the published Kabuki syndrome study (Ng et. al. Exome sequencing identifies MLL2 mutations as a cause of Kabuki syndrome. Nat. Genet. 42, 30-35 (2010)). The syndrome, which is caused by autosomal dominant mutations, is rare with approximately 400 cases reported worldwide.. Ten case and eight control exome data sets were independently aligned to the human genome reference sequence using SeqMan NGen which also identified and annotated variants. Variants from each assembly were then loaded together into ArrayStar resulting in over 5.7 million independent positions located in about 32,000 genes across all samples after coalescing. The samples were then organized into two groups, Kabuki and Control, to facilitate subsequent filtering.. We first filtered at the variant level making three assumptions ...

Infants at birth have striking hypotonia with a weak cry and feeding difficulties. Dysmorphic features such as micrognathia, microcephaly, low-set ears, some degree of generalized hypopigmentation (hair and skin), and a broad nose with a long philtrum may be present. The face may appear triangular. Cleft lip and palate may be present. Evidence of cardiac dysfunction may also be present early with both dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy reported. Hearing loss has been reported in some individuals. Recurrent infections are common and immunologic studies have revealed, in some patients, granulocytopenia, low T cell counts (primarily T4+ cells), thymic dysplasia, and low levels of IgG. Seizures may occur. Liver dysfunction has been variably reported.. Neurological and brain evaluations have reported agenesis of the corpus callosum, defects in the septum pellucidum, and hypoplasia of the cerebellar vermis along with pontocerebellar hypoplasia. Psychomotor retardation is severe in most ...

We identified two patients with a heterozygous deletion encompassing CTCF. Gregor et al 1 reported that intellectual disability, microcephaly and growth retardation are shared clinical features in patients with a CTCF mutation. In our study, both patients showed comparable features to those in the previous report. Our patients also showed hypertelorism, epicanthus, thin upper lip and abnormalities of fingers, which also appeared in the reported patients, indicating that haploinsufficiency of CTCF may produce a recognisable clinical syndrome.1 It is of note that our patients showed similar phenotypes to those in previously reported patients even though they carried different-sized deletions. Therefore, at least in our patients, CTCF appeared to be a major determinant of the phenotype, and other deleted genes may not have significant dosage-sensitive effects. The previous study theorised the clinical features in the reported patients were due to haploinsufficiency due to mutation, yet it was not ...

This site focuses on bringing together the families of children diagnosed with Patau Syndrome. Also called Syndrome 13, having a third (extra) number Chromosome 13. Trisomy 13 children have multiple abnormalities. Some include heart defects, brain defects, cleft lip, cleft palate. The most severe are visual abnormalities, omphalocele, proboscis and holoprosencephaly. Because of the many abnormalities, we believe all of these children are survivors if they reach their mothers arms. They are true miracles of life. ...

We report a prenatal case of a large 5p duplication with sub-telomeric deletion in a foetus with very mild phenotypic abnormalities. Foetal ultrasonographic examination at 22 weeks of gestation showed short femur, clubfeet, pielectasy, and facial dysmorphisms. Chromosome investigations revealed an inverted duplication of the short arm of chromosome 5 from 5p13.1 to 5p15.33 and a 800 kb deletion at 5pter. The absence of severe anomalies such as cardiac and cerebral defects, observed so far in all ...

1q21.1 microdeletion is a chromosomal change in which a small piece of chromosome 1 is deleted in each cell. The deletion occurs on the long (q) arm of the chromosome in a region designated q21.1. This chromosomal change increases the risk of delayed development, intellectual disability, physical abnormalities, and neurological and psychiatric problems. However, some people with a 1q21.1 microdeletion do not appear to have any associated features.. About 75 percent of all children with a 1q21.1 microdeletion have delayed development, particularly affecting the development of motor skills such as sitting, standing, and walking. The intellectual disability and learning problems associated with this genetic change are usually mild.. Distinctive facial features can also be associated with 1q21.1 microdeletions. The changes are usually subtle and can include a prominent forehead; a large, rounded nasal tip; a long space between the nose and upper lip (philtrum); and a high, arched roof of the mouth ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Ring chromosome 4. T2 - Wolf syndrome and unspecific developmental anomalies. AU - Kosztolanyi, G.. PY - 1985/12/1. Y1 - 1985/12/1. N2 - A new case of ring chromosome 4 in a 18-month-old girl is described. The patient presented extreme growth failure, psychomotor retardation, and some features of 4p deletion or Wolf syndrome. No significant loss of genetic material could be seen by G-banding technique (breakpoints p16q35). The ring was found to be unstable both in lymphocyte and fibroblast culture and a substantial proportion of aneuploid cells containing derivatives of the ring could be observed. An increased cell death-rate could be detected by cell viability determination with trypan blue in the first subcultures of skin fibroblasts. It is suggested that this finding is a consequence of behavioural instability of the ring at mitosis existing probably in vivo as well. The clinical and cytogenetic findings in this patient were compared with those in the other 16 cases with ring ...

Infants may have unusual facial features at birth including a short neck, downward slanting openings between the eyelids, an enlarged skull with prominence of the forehead, small jaw, large low-set ears, and short fingers and toes. Older children are often short in stature and appear to have an abnormally short neck. Some intellectual disabilities and delays in speech, feeding, and walking are present.. Around the beginning of the second decade of life individuals note increasing difficulty seeing at night and a narrowing of side vision. At about this time pigmentary changes can be seen in the retina of the eye and an ERG (electroretinogram) confirms progressive damage to the rods and cones. The levels of vision are unknown.. ...

CNS anomalies are some of the most common and clinically important congenital malformations encountered in utero. Improved detection of CNS anomalies requires a systematic survey of the cranium and spine as a part of all obstetric sonograms performed after the first trimester. Recognition of characteristic cranial findings associated with spina bifida can dramatically improve detection of small spinal defects before the time of fetal viability, even when the sonogram is performed for low-risk indications. Patients suspected to be carrying a fetus that has a cranial or spinal anomaly should ideally be referred to a tertiary center for confirmation of the defect, evaluation of possible additional anomalies, and for patient management and counseling. ...

Situations in which only positive findings are explicit are frequent in imaging procedures. Images can cover large areas or even the whole body, and identify multiple abnormalities, such as metastases, plaques in multiple sclerosis, or stenoses along the coronary system. In many cases the universe of possible findings (abnormalities or lesions) is very large and cannot be enumerated. The lack of a specific number of double-negative observations precludes the use of the classic formulation of the kappa statistic.. In this paper, we propose a variant of the kappa statistic that relies on the properties of the classic kappa statistic when the number of negative ratings can be considered large. In that case, agreement does not depend on the unknown data and can be estimated from positive findings only. This free-response kappa corresponds to the proportion of all confirmed individual positive ratings (2d) among all positive individual ratings (b + c + 2d).. Unlike simplifications that circumvent the ...

Prenatal ultrasound showed 2 fetuses with fused head, thorax and abdomen (Fig. 1), with a single umbilical cord with 3 arteries and 3 veins. A single face was noted with low set ears and retrognathia. These findings were confirmed on gross examination of the twins postnatally, which additionally demonstrated 2 partially fused external ears on the opposite side (Fig. 2). Fetal ultrasound and postmortem CT of formalin-preserved specimen showed 2 cerebral hemispheres with an absent corpus callosum, partially fused thalami (Fig. 3), 4 cerebellar hemispheres (Fig. 4), 2 pituitary glands and 4 internal ears (Fig. 5). There were 2 separate hearts with shared circulation (Fig. 6) with one relatively normal heart with persistent left SVC, and one hypoplastic heart (Fig. 7). Two separate livers were noted (Fig. 8). Volume-rendered CT images showed fused cranial vault, 2 unfused spines with partial fusion of the posterior elements of C3 to C5, and 8 limbs (Fig. 9 ...
