Abstract
Recurrent interstitial deletion of a region of 8p23.1 flanked by the low copy repeats 8p-OR-REPD and 8p-OR-REPP is associated with a spectrum of anomalies that can include congenital heart malformations and congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). Haploinsufficiency of GATA4 is thought to play a critical role in the development of these birth defects. We describe two individuals and a monozygotic twin pair discordant for anterior CDH all of whom have complex congenital heart defects caused by this recurrent interstitial deletion as demonstrated by array comparative genomic hybridization. To better define the genotype/phenotype relationships associated with alterations of genes on 8p23.1, we review the spectrum of congenital heart and diaphragmatic defects that have been reported in individuals with isolated GATA4 mutations and interstitial, terminal, and complex chromosomal rearrangements involving the 8p23.1 region. Our findings allow us to clearly define the CDH minimal deleted region on chromosome 8p23.1 and suggest that haploinsufficiency of other genes, in addition to GATA4, may play a role in the severe cardiac and diaphragmatic defects associated with 8p23.1 deletions. These findings also underscore the importance of conducting a careful cytogenetic/molecular analysis of the 8p23.1 region in all prenatal and postnatal cases involving congenital defects of the heart and/or diaphragm.

Abstract
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a relatively common birth defect associated with high mortality and morbidity. Although the exact etiology of most cases of CDH remains unknown, there is a growing body of evidence that genetic factors play an important role in the development of CDH. In this review, we examine key findings that are likely to form the basis for future research in this field. Specific topics include a short overview of normal and abnormal diaphragm development, a discussion of syndromic forms of CDH, a detailed review of chromosomal regions recurrently altered in CDH, a description of the retinoid hypothesis of CDH, and evidence of the roles of specific genes in the development of CDH.

Abstract
This study reports the clinical features of 63 patients with agenesis of the corpus callosum who received in-depth genetic, clinical, and laboratory testing with the aim to contribute to a better description of the large spectrum of associated malformations and to assist clinicians in the diagnosis. Thirty patients manifested complete agenesis and 33 patients displayed partial agenesis. Other associated nervous system malformations were detected in 14 patients with partial agenesis of the corpus callosum (mostly correlated to posterior fossa malformations) and in 10 patients with complete agenesis (more frequently associated with malformations of cortical development). Involvement of organs and apparatus other than the nervous system was present in 41 patients (ascribed to known syndromes in 21 cases). Cytogenetically detectable chromosomal abnormalities (7 patients) and subtelomeric rearrangements (3 patients) were found. Neuromotor skills were impaired in almost all cases (58/63). Mental retardation of different severity was present in 52 cases, whereas 2 patients were borderline and 9 patients had normal intelligence quotient. This study demonstrates that there is no unique prognosis for agenesis of the corpus callosum as this condition is associated with a broad range of clinical manifestations, oscillating between the limits of the norm and severe psychomotor delay.

Abstract
A boy with a rare unbalanced de novo Y/autosome translocation is presented. Main clinical features in the boy comprised a psychomotor delay, talipes planus, a dolichocephalus, low set and retroverted ears, supraorbital fullness of subcutaneous tissue and a bulbous nasal tip. Chromosomal analysis on amniocytes showed a single X chromosome and a derivative 8p (Karyotype: 45,X,der(8)GTG). The following DAPI staining revealed the inactivated centromere of the chromosome Y located on 8p and the absence of heterochromatic material Yq. Microsatellite analysis on fetal blood DNA using markers between SRY on Yp and DYS 240 on Yq proved presence of the spermatogenetic relevant factors. A terminal deletion of 8p was confirmed by FISH postnatally. Molecular genetic reassessment revealed the monosomy 8p to be of maternal origin; the translocation can thus be proven to have occurred in the zygote. The breakpoint in 8p was localised distal to GATA4, a gene which is involved in heart development; the finding that our patient did not suffer from cardiac problems agrees with the disomic presence of GATA4. Only the application of FISH combined with microsatellite analysis allowed a precise correlation between clinical phenotype and a subtle deletion of terminal 8p; furthermore, a recurrence risk for the parents could be excluded.

Abstract
A subtle terminal deletion of the short arm of chromosome 8 with a breakpoint in p23.1 was detected in amniocytes. Parental chromosome studies revealed a similar deletion in the father. The fetus did not have any abnormalities in a level II ultrasound. The pregnancy was continued and resulted in the birth of a baby girl. The child was normal at six months of age and no heart murmur was detected. In a retrospective review of cases in our laboratory, four other cases with a deletion del(8)(p23.1) were found. Three were paediatric cases with microcephaly, developmental delay, ASD, VSD, pulmonic stenosis, congenital and behavioural abnormalities. One was a 29-year-old woman with a mosaic karyotype. She had a history of spontaneous abortions and no known cardiac defect. Using conventional cytogenetics and/or FISH studies with 8p telomere probe and 8 painting probe, the 8p23.1 deletions were shown to be either terminal or interstitial. The karyotype from the prenatal case was compared with the other cases of 8p23.1 deletions in our laboratory to see if there was a discernible difference in the size of the deletion. The deletion in the proband seemed to involve a more distal 8p23.1 breakpoint. In the father's high resolution chromosomes (550-850 band level) the breakpoint appeared to be 8p23.1 approximately 23.2 and FISH studies using an 8p telomeric probe confirmed a terminal deletion. Interstitial deletion of sub-band 8p23.1 was associated with phenotypic abnormalities and distal 8p23.2pter deletion was found in apparently normal individuals, therefore, 8p23.1 appears to be the critical region for clinical abnormalities.

Abstract
Deletions in the distal region of chromosome 8p (del8p) are associated with congenital heart malformations. Other major manifestations include microcephaly, intrauterine growth retardation, mental retardation, and a characteristic hyperactive, impulsive behavior. We studied genotype-phenotype correlations in nine unrelated patients with a de novo del8p, by using the combination of classic cytogenetics, FISH, and the analysis of polymorphic DNA markers. With the exception of one large terminal deletion, all deletions were interstitial. In five patients, a commonly deleted region of approximately 6 Mb was present, with breakpoints clustering in the same regions. One patient without a heart defect or microcephaly but with mild mental retardation and characteristic behavior had a smaller deletion within this commonly deleted region. Two patients without a heart defect had a more proximal interstitial deletion that did not overlap with the commonly deleted region. Taken together, these data allowed us to define the critical deletion regions for the major features of a del8p.
