Trisomy 22 Mosaicism from Prenatal to Postnatal Findings: A Case Series and Systematic Review of the Literature. Genes (Basel) 2024; 15:346. [PMID: 38540405 PMCID: PMC10970670 DOI: 10.3390/genes15030346] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Among aneuploidies compatible with life, trisomy 22 mosaicism is extremely rare, and only about 25 postnatal and 18 prenatal cases have been described in the literature so far. The condition is mainly characterized by facial and body asymmetry, cardiac heart defects, facial dysmorphisms, growth failure, delayed puberty, and variable degrees of neurodevelopmental delay. PROBLEM The scattered information regarding the condition and the dearth of data on its natural history and developmental outcomes restrict genetic counseling, particularly in prenatal settings. Moreover, a prompt diagnosis is frequently delayed by the negative selection of trisomic cells in blood, with mosaicism percentage varying among tissues, which often entails the need for further testing. Purpose/topic: The aim of our work is to provide assistance in prenatal and postnatal genetic counseling by systematically delineating the current knowledge of the condition. This entails defining the prenatal and postnatal characteristics of the condition and presenting novel data from three cases, both prenatally and postnatally. Additionally, we report the developmental outcomes observed in two new patients.

Abstract
Complete trisomy 22 is a rare chromosomal condition that is incompatible with life. However, mosaic trisomy 22 usually has prolonged survival compatibility and may present a good prognosis depending on the tissues affected. Herein, we described a male patient with the occurrence of mosaic trisomy 22 associated with the inversion of chromosome 9, with karyotype 47, XY, inv (9) (p11q13), + 22 [5] / 46, XY, inv(9) (p11q13) [45] and arr 22q11.1 ~ q13.33(16,417008-51,219,009)x2 ~ 3. It is not possible to infer, in general, the clinical characteristics associated with mosaic trisomy 22. However, the patient presented common clinical features observed in reported cases (in parentheses the percentage observed comparing all reported cases): facial dysmorphia (100%), delay in motor development/growth (82%), cardiac abnormalities (73%), ear abnormalities (55%) and facial and/or body asymmetry (55%), in addition to hypotonia, skin spots, hypoplastic nails. Given the survival and quality of life associated with multidisciplinary treatment, it can be concluded that the patient has a good prognosis. Conclusively, we're presenting the occurrence of mosaic trisomy 22 and chromosome 9 inversion in the patient with favorable prognosis. Thus, this study proposed a guide which should be inserted in databases of rare genetic conditions to help genetic counselors define mosaic trisomy 22 diagnosis.

Abstract
Anorectal malformations (ARM) represent a rare birth defect of the hindgut that occur in approximately 1 in 3000 live births. Around 60% of ARM occur with associated anomalies including defined genetic syndromes and associations with chromosomal aberrations. The etiology of ARM is heterogeneous, with the individual environmental or genetic risk factors remaining unknown for the majority of cases. The occurrence of familial ARM and previous epidemiologic analysis suggest autosomal dominant inheritance in a substantial subset of ARM patients. The implicated mortality and reduced fecundity in patients with ARM would lead to allele loss. However, mutational de novo events among the affected individuals could compensate for the evolutionary pressure. With the implementation of exome sequencing, array-based molecular karyotyping and family-based rare variant analyses, the technologies are available to identify the respective factors. This review discusses the identification of disease-causing variants among individuals with ARM. It highlights the role of mutational de novo events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trisomy 22 mosaicism is a rare autosomal anomaly with survival compatibility. Recognition of the complete trisomy 22 which is incompatible with life from the mosaic form is critical for genetic counseling. Affected mosaic cases have prevalent clinical presentations such as webbed neck, developmental delay, abnormal ears, cardiac disorders, and microcephaly. Phenotype of these patients is milder than full chromosomal aneuploidy, and the severity of the phenotype depends on the count of trisomic cells. We describe a 4-year-old boy with mosaic trisomy 22 from healthy parents and no family history of any genetic disorders in the pedigree. METHOD AND RESULTS The patient had determined dysmorphic clinical features including facial asymmetry, cleft palate, gastroenteritis, hydronephrosis, developmental delay, genital anomalies, dysplastic toenails, flattened nasal bridge, congenital heart defect, hearing loss, cryptorchidism, and hypotonic muscle. He is the first reported with hypothyroidism and larynx wall thickness in worldwide and the first with atrial septal defect (ASD) from Iran. Chromosomal analyses using G-banding indicated a de novo Mos 47,XY,+22(6)/46,XY(44) karyotype with no other chromosomal structural changes. CONCLUSIONS Our observations confirm the importance of cytogenetic analyses for determining the cause of congenital anomalies and provide a useful genetic counseling. In addition, due to the fact that some of mosaic trisomy 22 features are unavoidable such as CHD and general hypotrophy, we suggest including echocardiography test for early diagnosis during the clinical assessment.

Abstract
Emanuel syndrome (ES) is the most frequent type of recurrent non‑Robertsonian translocation that is characterized by numerous anomalies. Over 100 patients with ES have been described in the literature. The phenotype of this syndrome varies but often consists of facial dysmorphism, microcephaly, severe intellectual disability, developmental retardation, congenital heart disease and genital anomalies. The present study describes a 2‑year‑old boy with multiple malformations, including facial dysmorphism, severe intellectual disability, growth retardation, congenital heart disease, cleft lip and palate, genital malformation (micropenis), amblyopia, thymic dysplasia and hearing impairment. The karyotype of the patient was 47,XY,+del(22)(q13), and the maternal karyotype was 46,XX,t(11;22)(q25;q13),9qh‑,15p+. Single‑nucleotide polymorphism‑array analysis of the proband indicated a partial duplication of chromosomes 22 and 11 at 22q11.1‑q11.21 and 11q23.3‑q25, respectively, which confirmed the diagnosis of ES. To date, no cases of ES have been reported in mainland China. The present case further emphasizes the necessity and importance of high‑resolution techniques for genetic diagnosis and for subsequent genetic counseling. The present study contributed to the phenotypic delineation of ES and confirmed the first ES patient in mainland China.

Abstract
A small supernumerary marker chromosome (sSMC) is a structurally abnormal chromosome. It is an additional chromosome smaller than one chromosome most often lacking a distinct banding pattern and is rarely identifiable by conventional banding cytogenetic analysis. The origin and composition of an sSMC is recognizable by molecular cytogenetic analysis. These sSMCs are seen in different shapes, including the ring, centric minute, and inverted duplication shapes. The effects of sSMCs on the phenotype depend on factors such as size, genetic content, and the level of the mosaicism. The presence of an sSMC causes partial tris- or tetrasomy, and 70% of the sSMC carriers are clinically normal, while 30% are abnormal in some way. In 70% of the cases the sSMC is de novo, in 20% it is inherited from the mother, and in 10% it is inherited from the father. An sSMC can be causative for specific syndromes such as Emanuel, Pallister-Killian, or cat eye syndromes. There may be more specific sSMC-related syndromes, which may be identified by further investigation. These 10 syndromes can be useful for genetic counseling after further study.

Severe psychomotor delay in a severe presentation of cat-eye syndrome. Case Rep Genet 2015; 2015:943905.

Abstract
Cat-eye syndrome is a rare genetic syndrome of chromosomal origin. Individuals with cat-eye syndrome are characterized by the presence of preauricular pits and/or tags, anal atresia, and iris coloboma. Many reported cases also presented with variable congenital anomalies and intellectual disability. Most patients diagnosed with CES carry a small supernumerary bisatellited marker chromosome, resulting in partial tetrasomy of 22p-22q11.21. There are two types of small supernumerary marker chromosome, depending on the breakpoint site. In a very small proportion of cases, other cytogenetic anomalies are reportedly associated with the cat-eye syndrome phenotype. Here, we report a patient with cat-eye syndrome caused by a type 1 small supernumerary marker chromosome. The phenotype was atypical and included a severe developmental delay. The use of array comparative genomic hybridization ruled out the involvement of another chromosomal imbalance in the neurological phenotype. In the literature, only a few patients with cat-eye syndrome present with a severe developmental delay, and all of the latter carried an atypical partial trisomy 22 or an uncharacterized small supernumerary marker chromosome. Hence, this is the first report of a severe neurological phenotype in cat-eye syndrome with a typical type 1 small supernumerary marker chromosome. Our observation clearly complicates prognostic assessment, particularly when cat-eye syndrome is diagnosed prenatally.

Abstract
OBJETIVO: Relatar dois pacientes com a síndrome de Emanuel (SE) ou cromossomo supernumerário der(22)t(11;22), secundária a translocações balanceadas familiares, apresentando fenótipos distintos. DESCRIÇÃO DE CASO: O primeiro paciente é uma menina branca de cinco anos de idade, apresentando hipotonia, atraso no desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor, movimentos estereotipados, microcefalia, ptose palpebral, orelhas proeminentes, fossetas e apêndices pré-auriculares, e imperfuração anal. As avaliações adicionais identificaram hipoplasia cerebral e estenose da válvula pulmonar. Possuía história também de laringotraqueomalácia e fenda palatina. O segundo paciente é um menino branco de seis meses de idade com hipotonia, movimentos coreoatetóticos, déficit de crescimento, microcefalia, microssomia hemifacial, fenda palatina, microtia, apêndices pré-auriculares e polegares proximalmente implantados. A ecocardiografia demonstrou estenose da válvula pulmonar, comunicação interatrial e interventricular, persistência do canal arterial e da veia cava superior esquerda. A radiografia de tórax identificou uma costela cervical. O cariótipo por bandas GTG mostrou a presença, em ambos os pacientes, de um cromossomo adicional der(22)t(11;22), secundário a uma translocação balanceada materna no primeiro caso e paterna no segundo caso. COMENTÁRIOS: Apesar de a primeira paciente apresentar achados frequentes da SE, o caso adicional representa a segunda descrição da literatura com um fenótipo de espectro óculo-aurículo-vertebral (EOAV). Assim, ambos salientam a variabilidade clínica observada na SE e a importância da avaliação cariotípica em indivíduos com fenótipo de EOAV.

Abstract
Emanuel syndrome is characterized by multiple congenital anomalies and developmental disability. It is caused by the presence of a supernumerary derivative chromosome that contains material from chromosomes 11 and 22. The origin of this imbalance is 3:1 malsegregation of a parental balanced translocation between chromosomes 11 and 22, which is the most common recurrent reciprocal translocation in humans. Little has been published on the clinical features of this syndrome since the 1980s and information on natural history is limited. We designed a questionnaire to collect information from families recruited through an international online support group, Chromosome 22 Central. Data gathered include information on congenital anomalies, medical and surgical history, developmental and behavioral issues, and current abilities. We received information on 63 individuals with Emanuel syndrome, ranging in age from newborn to adulthood. As previously recognized, congenital anomalies were common, the most frequent being ear pits (76%), micrognathia (60%), heart malformations (57%), and cleft palate (54%). Our data suggest that vision and hearing impairment, seizures, failure to thrive and recurrent infections, particularly otitis media, are common in this syndrome. Psychomotor development is uniformly delayed, however the majority of individuals (over 70%) eventually learn to walk with support. Language development and ability for self-care are also very impaired. This study provides new information on the clinical spectrum and natural history of Emanuel syndrome for families and physicians caring for these individuals.

Abstract
A patient with a 47,XX,+der(22)t(11;22)(q23.3;q11.2) karyotype exhibited brisk tendon reflex and Babinski sign with suggested pyramidal sign. A three-dimensional computed tomographic reconstruction revealed a T1-T2 vertebral fusion without hemivertebrae. Sagittal magnetic resonance imaging revealed degenerative disk changes, mild disk herniation, and mild spinal cord compression. Congenital vertebral fusion may be one of the anomalies in supernumerary-der(22)t(11;22) syndrome. Once clinical diagnosis of this chromosome aberration is established, radiologic evaluation of vertebrae and spinal neuroimaging should be performed.

Abstract
Dopamine D(1) and D(2) receptor protein expression was examined by Western blotting in newborn infants dying from cerebral asphyxia between 31 and 42 weeks' gestation, and matched controls. Frontal, occipital, temporal, and motor cortex tissue samples were obtained at autopsy (median postmortem interval 35 hours) and frozen for storage at -80 degrees C. A total of 2 immunoreactive bands were detected with each primary antibody in infant brain, whereas a single band was present in adult human and rat tissue. Immunoreactivity varied between cortical areas for both receptors, but their regional patterns differed significantly. D(1) protein levels were higher in motor and temporal cortex than in frontal or occipital cortex. D(2) protein showed graded expression frontal > motor > occipital > temporal cortex. Asphyxia cases showed lower expression of the upper D(2) immunoreactive band, but no difference in regional pattern. Lower D(2) receptor expression may attenuate stress responses and underlie increased vulnerability to hypoxia at birth.

Abstract
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a common major malformation affecting 1/3000-1/4000 births, which continues to be associated with significant perinatal mortality. Much current research is focused on elucidating the genetics and pathophysiology contributing to CDH to develop more effective therapies. The latest data suggest that many cases of CDH are genetically determined and also indicate that CDH is etiologically heterogeneous. The present review will provide a brief summary of diaphragm development and model organism work most relevant to human CDH and will primarily describe important human phenotypes associated with CDH and also provide recommendations for diagnostic evaluation of a fetus or infant with CDH.

Abstract
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a common and well-studied birth defect. The etiology of most cases remains unknown but increasing evidence points to genetic causation. The data supporting genetic etiologies which are detailed below include the association of CDH with recurring chromosome abnormalities, the existence of CDH-multiplex families, and the co-occurrence of CDH with additional congenital malformations.

Abstract
Trisomy 22 syndrome manifestations include cranial and facial anomalies. Ambiguous genitalia have been described in some fetus, but histological examination of the gonads has been rarely provided. We report here the first case of a male pseudohermaphrodite fetus with non-mosaic full trisomy 22 in amniocytes and presenting with ambiguous external genitalia, testes, and a uterus. In this case, we have further analyzed cytogenetically gonadal and uterine tissues. FISH analyses on paraffin-embedded gonads and uterus indicated the presence of two cell lines: XY and monosomy X, with 22%-50% of uterine cells having monosomy X, while 85%-100% of right and 77%-96% of left testicular cells were XY. The distribution of sex chromosomes observed in these tissues could explain the sexual differentiation observed in this fetus. On the other hand, this phenotype could also have resulted from cryptic anomalies in one or several genes implicated in sexual differentiation. Further evidence is thus needed before identifying the true cause of pseudohermaphroditism in our patient.

Abstract
From the study of numerical and structural chromosomal abnormalities, there is convincing evidence and accumulating information of a direct karyotype to phenotype correlation. Knowledge of phenotypic consequences of a specific chromosomal imbalance is important for genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis. However, for unbalanced non-Robertsonian translocations a precise karyotype to phenotype correlation is difficult to predict for several reasons: (I) unbalanced non-Robertsonian translocations are rare, (II) the published case reports are often not age-matched, (III) varying breakpoints result in different lengths of the monosomic and trisomic segments and therefore the phenotype will depend on additional genes present or the loss of coding regions, and (IV) the combination of the same trisomy with different monosomies, or vice versa, can result in diverging phenotypes. Therefore, the study of the karyotype to phenotype correlation in affected relatives of the same age and the identical unbalanced translocation provides a good model to investigate phenotypic consequences of a specific genetic imbalance. We report of two second trimester fetuses with the identical major partial trisomy 9 (9pter-9q22.2) and minor partial trisomy 7 (q35-qter) resulting from a familial translocation (7;9)(q35;q22.2)mat. One fetus presented with a Dandy-Walker malformation, polymicrogyria, and mild dysmorphic features, whereas the other fetus showed unilateral cleft lip and palate without cerebral anomalies. Potential mechanisms for this different phenotypic expression of the same unbalanced translocation resulting in partial trisomy 9 and 7 in the two cousins and possible consequences for genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis are discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe cases of trisomy 22 detected prenatally on second-trimester sonography and to review the literature on similar cases, with special emphasis on the prenatal findings and pregnancy outcome. METHODS We performed follow-up second-trimester sonography and fetal karyotyping on 3 pregnant women who were referred because of abnormal findings on initial second-trimester scans. We also conducted a literature search for other reports of sonographic findings in trisomy 22. RESULTS Fetal abnormalities shown on sonography included nuchal thickening, mild generalized skin edema, an atrioventricular septal defect, an interventricular septal defect, edema of the scalp, face, and neck, severe left pleural effusion with a marked mediastinal shift, ascites, agenesis of the diaphragm, ambiguous genitalia, a single umbilical artery, bradycardia, a multicystic left kidney, and an absent right kidney. All 3 fetuses had karyotypes indicating trisomy 22. One pregnancy was terminated at the parents' request, and 2 ended in fetal death at 23 and 26 weeks. Our literature search revealed only 1 previous report of second-trimester sonographic diagnosis of trisomy 22. We found 3 other reports describing prenatal diagnosis in the third trimester, but only limited information on the sonographic findings was available. CONCLUSIONS Second-trimester sonography provides valuable clues for the prenatal diagnosis of several chromosomal disorders, including trisomy 22. Prenatal karyotyping is warranted if fetal growth restriction is detected in the second trimester, especially if associated with congenital defects.

Abstract
Over 30 cases of complete non-mosaic trisomy 22 have been reported in the literature in the last 20 years [Crowe et al., 1997: Am J Med Genet 71:406-413]. Twenty-two infants were liveborn with an average life expectancy of four days. Of these, nine survived beyond the first two weeks of life. The life span ranged from minutes to 3 years of age. We report a case of an infant diagnosed prenatally with complete non-mosaic trisomy 22. Options such as aggressive medical/surgical intervention or limiting interventions to symptomatic care including home hospice were discussed openly. Given this information, the family elected to provide minimal supportive measures with pediatric hospice. The infant lived for 2 months with her family before her death. Numerous medical and surgical complications are associated with this disorder. Both the family and the medical team must be prepared for in utero fetal demise, stillbirth, or for limited life expectancy. Proper management, therefore, depends upon an understanding of the diagnosis.

Abstract
The 22q11 region is involved in chromosomal rearrangements that lead to altered gene dosage, resulting in genomic disorders that are characterized by mental retardation and/or congenital malformations. Three such disorders-cat-eye syndrome (CES), der(22) syndrome, and velocardiofacial syndrome/DiGeorge syndrome (VCFS/DGS)-are associated with four, three, and one dose, respectively, of parts of 22q11. The critical region for CES lies centromeric to the deletion region of VCFS/DGS, although, in some cases, the extra material in CES extends across the VCFS/DGS region. The der(22) syndrome region overlaps both the CES region and the VCFS/DGS region. Molecular approaches have revealed a set of common chromosome breakpoints that are shared between the three disorders, implicating specific mechanisms that cause these rearrangements. Most VCFS/DGS and CES rearrangements are likely to occur by homologous recombination events between blocks of low-copy repeats (e.g., LCR22), whereas nonhomologous recombination mechanisms lead to the constitutional t(11;22) translocation. Meiotic nondisjunction events in carriers of the t(11;22) translocation can then lead to offspring with der(22) syndrome. The molecular basis of the clinical phenotype of these genomic disorders has also begun to be addressed. Analysis of both the genomic sequence for the 22q11 interval and the orthologous regions in the mouse has identified >24 genes that are shared between VCFS/DGS and der(22) syndrome and has identified 14 putative genes that are shared between CES and der(22) syndrome. The ability to manipulate the mouse genome aids in the identification of candidate genes in these three syndromes. Research on genomic disorders on 22q11 will continue to expand our knowledge of the mechanisms of chromosomal rearrangements and the molecular basis of their phenotypic consequences.

Abstract
The constitutional t(11;22) translocation is the only known recurrent non-Robertsonian translocation in humans. Offspring are susceptible to der(22) syndrome, a severe congenital anomaly disorder caused by 3&rcolon;1 meiotic nondisjunction events. We previously localized the t(11;22) translocation breakpoint to a region on 22q11 within a low-copy repeat termed "LCR22" and within an AT-rich repeat on 11q23. The LCR22s are implicated in mediating different rearrangements on 22q11, leading to velocardiofacial syndrome/DiGeorge syndrome and cat-eye syndrome by homologous recombination mechanisms. The LCR22s contain AT-rich repetitive sequences, suggesting that such repeats may mediate the t(11;22) translocation. To determine the molecular basis of the translocation, we cloned and sequenced the t(11;22) breakpoint in the derivative 11 and 22 chromosomes in 13 unrelated carriers, including two de novo cases and der(22) syndrome offspring. We found that, in all cases examined, the reciprocal exchange occurred between similar AT-rich repeats on both chromosomes 11q23 and 22q11. To understand the mechanism, we examined the sequence of the breakpoint intervals in the derivative chromosomes and compared this with the deduced normal chromosomal sequence. A palindromic AT-rich sequence with a near-perfect hairpin could form, by intrastrand base-pairing, on the parental chromosomes. The sequence of the breakpoint junction in both derivatives indicates that the exchange events occurred at the center of symmetry of the palindromes, and this resulted in small, overlapping staggered deletions in this region among the different carriers. On the basis of previous studies performed in diverse organisms, we hypothesize that double-strand breaks may occur in the center of the palindrome, the tip of the putative hairpin, leading to illegitimate recombination events between similar AT-rich sequences on chromosomes 11 and 22, resulting in deletions and loss of the palindrome, which then could stabilize the DNA structure.

Abstract
Structural chromosomal rearrangements occur commonly in the general population. Individuals that carry a balanced translocation are at risk of having unbalanced offspring; therefore, the frequency of translocations in couples with recurrent spontaneous abortions is higher than that in the general population. The constitutional t(11;22) translocation is the most common recurrent non-Robertsonian translocation in humans and may serve as a model to determine the mechanism that causes recurrent meiotic translocations. We previously localized the t(11;22) translocation breakpoint to a region on 22q11 within a low-copy repeat, termed "LCR22." To define the breakpoint on 11q23 and to ascertain whether this region shares homology with LCR22 sequences, we performed haplotype analysis on patients with der(22) syndrome. We found that the breakpoint on 11q23 occurred between two genetic markers, D11S1340 and APOC3-tetra, both being present within a single bacterial-artificial-chromosome clone. To determine whether the breakpoint occurred within the same region among a larger set of carriers, we performed FISH mapping studies. The breakpoints were all within the same clone, suggesting that this region may harbor sequences that are prone to breakage. We narrowed the breakpoint interval, in both derivative chromosomes from two unrelated carriers, to a 190-bp, AT-rich repeat, which indicates that this repeat may mediate recombination events on chromosome 11. Interestingly, the LCR22s harbor AT-rich repeats, suggesting that this sequence motif may mediate recombination events in nonhomologous chromosomes during meiosis.

Abstract
A complex familial chromosome translocation has been ascertained by combining classical cytogenetics and CISS (chromosomal in situ suppression). Cytogenetic analysis of a chorionic villus sample with G banding showed a 47,XX,-2, +der(2)t(2;22),+der(22)t(2;22) karyotype. Analysis of peripheral blood lymphocytes from the parents by G banding and CISS showed a more complex translocation in the father: 46,XY,-2,-11,-22, +der(2) t(2;11)(q13;q23), +der(11) t(11;22) (q23;q11.2), +der(22) t(2;22) (q13;q11.2). Definitive analysis of cultured amniotic fluid cells showed a double partial trisomy of chromosomes 11 and 22. The couple decided to continue the pregnancy. The fetal karyotype was confirmed at birth. Clinical abnormalities present in our patient were typical of an unbalanced 11;22 translocation. Our findings confirm that chromosome painting techniques allow a better characterisation of complex chromosome rearrangements which may be difficult to detect in G banded karyotypes.

Abstract
We describe a girl with midline defects and distal limb anomalies, who had a supernumerary der(22) syndrome. The presence of some anomalies identifying the midline defects, led us to review all patients reported up to now, with interesting results. We point out the particular finding of midline defects in CNS only, in patients studied by autopsy or neuroradiologic imaging.

Abstract
We present a nonmosaic case of trisomy 22 in a liveborn, abnormal infant and a second case of a fetus who died in utero. Both have been verified cytogenetically and confirmed by in situ hybridisation with a centromeric alphoid probe and chromosome painting. The accuracy of the combined cytogenetic and molecular cytogenetic approaches in the karyotype determination is highlighted by comparison with a case showing partial translocation of chromosome 22 in t(11;22) (q23;q11).

Abstract
We report on a 3-year-old boy with a terminal deletion of 22q. The activity of alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase was normal while arylsulfatase A activity was reduced. Molecular analysis demonstrated the lack of paternal alleles of D22S45 and D22S55.

Abstract
A premature male infant is described in whom the presence of coarse facies, diaphragmatic hernia, genital anomalies and Dandy-Walker malformation suggested a diagnosis of Fryns' syndrome. Lymphocyte karyotype revealed a partial trisomy 22, and his mother carried an apparently balanced 11/22 translocation. Three infants have been described recently with features of Fryns' syndrome and various aneuploidies. It is suggested that amplified developmental instability of the midline developmental field may account for some of the phenotypic resemblances between these cases.

Abstract
Two cases of full trisomy 22 with the associated gross and microscopic pathology are reported. These cases demonstrate the typical craniofacial and organ system anomalies previously reported in trisomy 22 but also exhibit uveal colobomas that, within the spectrum of chromosome 22 anomalies, are usually restricted to the so-called "cat eye" syndrome. The attendant microscopic ocular findings represent, the best of our knowledge, the first such report in the literature.

Abstract
Partial trisomy 22 usually occurs through a 3:1 meiotic segregation of the parental 11q;22q translocation carrier, which is the most common balanced translocation in man. Common neurologic findings are delayed psychomotor development and muscular hypotonia. There have been a few neuroradiologic and neuropathologic studies, which include ventricular dilatation, arrhinencephaly, and aplasia or hypoplasia of the cerebellar vermis, corpus callosum and pons. We here add one patient with partial trisomy 22 who had, in addition to the usual features, Dandy-Walker malformation, which, to our knowledge, is a previously undescribed feature.

Abstract
Trisomy 22 (47, XY, +22) was found at 17 weeks gestation in one fetus of a twin gestation. The karyotypes of both parents and of the other twin were normal. Abnormal prenatal findings included maternal pre-eclampsia, fetal growth retardation, and progressive intracranial sonolucency of the trisomic fetus. Delivery by cesarean section at 36 weeks gestation yielded a normal healthy female weighing 2,822 grams and a markedly macerated dysmorphic male weighing 642 grams. Holoprosencephaly was found in the trisomic fetus, an unusual feature in trisomy 22. Additional findings in this case are compared to other findings in the literature.

Abstract
We report on the third confirmed case of trisomy 22 in a liveborn infant. High-resolution banding studies ruled out translocations such as the relatively common t(11;22). The infant shared many manifestations with other reported cases of trisomy 22 (e.g., growth deficiency, microcephaly, micrognathia, ear malformations, cleft palate, and congenital heart defect) and some manifestations in common with dup 22. Trisomy 22 appears to cause a severe malformation syndrome, and survival to term is rare.

Abstract
We describe a live-born male with 47,XY,+22. He had multiple congenital anomalies, severe growth retardation and psychomotor delay. Physical manifestations included broad nasal bridge, epicanthic folds, micrognathia, long philtrum, cleft palate, microcephaly with prominent occiput, apparently low-set malformed ears, heart murmur, genital anomaly, clinodactyly of the fifth fingers, and a low total finger ridge count. He died just before his 3rd birthday. Chromosome analysis by multiple banding techniques based on lymphocyte and fibroblast cultures confirm that the boy had complete trisomy 22.

Abstract
A case of complete trisomy 22 in a live-born female child with multiple malformations is reported. The karyotype of the index patient had 46 chromosomes, with one chromosome 22 missing and one supranumerary metacentric chromosome. Different banding methods and in situ hybridization revealed that the extra chromosome consists of the long arms and a part of the short arms of two chromosomes 22. Our report supplies further proof that a fetus with complete trisomy 22 can occasionally survive to term, but the condition is not compatible with life over a long period.

Abstract
The recognition of chromosomal abnormalities in the neonatal period is important. Paediatricians should be aware that the partial 'Trisomy 22' (now partial 11q trisomy) syndrome has a recognizable phenotypic expression and is relatively common. The distinctive facies with a long philtrum, micrognathia, beaked nose and cleft palate, associated with hypotonia and other congenital abnormalities, should make early postnatal diagnosis possible so that parental counselling can be given without delay.

Abstract
The acrocentric chromosome 22, one of the shortest human chromosomes, carries about 52 000 kb of DNA. The short arm is made up essentially of heterochromatin and, as in other acrocentric chromosomes, it contains ribosomal RNA genes. Ten identified genes have been assigned to the long arm, of which four have already been cloned and documented (the cluster of lambda immunoglobulin genes, myoglobin, the proto-oncogene c-sis, bcr). In addition, about 10 anonymous DNA segments have been cloned from chromosome 22 specific DNA libraries. About a dozen diseases, including at least four different malignancies, are related to an inherited or acquired pathology of chromosome 22. They have been characterised at the phenotypic or chromosome level or both. In chronic myelogenous leukaemia, with the Ph1 chromosome, and Burkitt's lymphoma, with the t(8;22) variant translocation, the molecular pathology is being studied at the DNA level, bridging for the first time the gap between cytogenetics and molecular genetics.

Abstract
The 11;22 translocation seems to be the most frequent, non-Robertsonian, translocation in man. Approximately 50 cases with an unbalanced karyotype 47,XX (or XY),+der(22), t(11q;22q), due to a 3:1 meiotic disjunction in the parental translocation carrier, have been reported in the literature. We present an additional patient with that chromosome aberration, whose father was shown to be the translocation carrier. He presented with many of the more or less typical signs of the syndrome, but had an extraordinary additional finding, namely Hirschsprung disease. Although anal stenosis is a rather frequent finding in the syndrome, Hirschsprung disease has never been described in the literature. Furthermore the most important genetic and cytogenetic data on that chromosome aberration are given, including implications for genetic counselling.

Abstract
We describe clinically and cytogenetically a fetus with multiple congenital anomalies and partial dup(11q) born to a phenotypically normal mother with a 3:1 translocation. Fetal anomalies included complete cleft of lip and palate, small penis, myelomenigocele, and abnormal palmar creases. We think chromosome analysis should be performed when neural tube defects are observed in otherwise dysmorphic neonates, stillbirths, and abortuses.

Abstract
Segregation analysis of the offspring of balanced translocation carriers was performed on 327 pedigrees collated from published sources and personal communications. Correction was made for bias of ascertainment. Translocations studied involved chromosome arms 1p, 4q, 6p, 6q, 7p, 8p, 10p, 10q, 11q, 14q, 16q, and 17p. Findings included similar rates of occurrence of abnormal liveborn offspring in male and female carriers except for a reduction of risk in male carriers of translocations segregating by 3:1 mode; an elevated risk of fetal loss (spontaneous abortions and stillbirths) in female carriers of 6q, 11q, and 16q translocations compared to male carriers of these translocations; a fetal loss rate exceeding general population estimates in female carriers of 6q and 10q translocations and in male carriers of 6p, 8p, 10q, and 14q translocations including a rate of nearly 50% among female 6q translocation carriers; a higher than expected number of balanced carriers among liveborn offspring; and a low risk of abnormal liveborn children among carriers ascertained by means other than through unbalanced probands. We propose that some translocation carriers may be helped by consideration of more specific empiric risk figures than have traditionally been used.

Abstract
An unusual supernumerary chromosome with a single satellite on the long arm was found in a child with manifestations of the cat-eye syndrome including apparently low-set and malformed ears, preauricular tags, micrognathia, and imperforate anus. Although G-banding suggested that this extra material was chromosome 22, this was not confirmed by several other banding techniques. After examination of the parents' chromosomes, the nature and origin of this extra chromosome remains obscure. We conclude that patients previously diagnosed as having "partial trisomy 22" with incomplete cat-eye syndrome may have a different chromosome constitution when studied by various banding techniques.

Abstract
A severely growth-retarded female newborn is described, who dies a few hours after birth. About half of the clones and metaphases from an amniotic fluid cell culture (set up at 35th week of gestation) and only 1/27 of the metaphases from a blood lymphocyte culture contained an additional No. 22 chromosome. Abnormal findings in the patient included a complex congenital heart defect, membranous anal atresia without fistula, distal limb hypoplasia, partial cutaneous syndactyly between second and third toes, and a left preauricular pit. On the basis of this case and other reports from the literature arguments for and against the existence of full human trisomy 22 are discussed. The conclusion seems likely, that full trisomy 22 usually presents a lethal condition in man, though at present an occasional survival cannot be excluded.

Abstract
Two brothers with duplication of the distal segment of 22q inherited from a t(6;22)(q27;13) translocation carrier mother presented with intrauterine growth retardation, congenital hydrocephalus, cleft palate, genital hypoplasia with cryptorchidism and hypospadias, and similar facial features including mongoloid position of eyeaxes, hypertelorism, small nose with prominent bridge, prominent upper lip, and small mandible. In addition the second sib revealed renal hypoplasia, arrhinencephaly and pentalogy of Fallot. The patients died at ages eight days and one day, respectively. The two brothers appear to be the first instances of familial trisomy 22q13 leads to qter.
