Abstract
Abstract
Chromosomal abnormality is one of the important causes of dysplasia in children. However, due to regional and ethnic differences, the reported rates of chromosomal abnormalities in patients with dysplasia vary greatly. Moreover, the clinical manifestations in children with rare chromosomal diseases were heterogeneous. So, we retrospectively analyzed the karyotype results of 436 children with dysplasia and conducted a detailed analysis of rare chromosomal diseases. The results showed that chromosomal abnormalities were present in 181 of 436 cases. Intellectual disability, dysmorphology, congenital malformations, the disorder of sexual development, and short stature were the main five clinical symptoms in children with chromosomal abnormalities. Moreover, 136 cases of Trisomy 21 (Tri21) were detected, of which 130 were standard Tri21, 5 were robertsonian Tri21, and 1 was chimera type. In addition, 16 cases of rare abnormal karyotype, including complex Tri21, complex Turner syndrome, 4p-syndrome, 18q-syndrome, and 5p-syndrome, were also detected. In summary, chromosome abnormality is one of the important causes of dysplasia in children. Furthermore, prenatal screening and diagnosis could play a great significance in preventing dysplasia in children. In addition, the retrospective analysis of rare cases is valuable for clinical diagnosis and risk assessment of recurrence.

Coexistence of a Homozygous Chromosome 4q35.2 Deletion and Hidden IQSEC2 Pathogenic Variant in a Child with Intellectual Disability. Cytogenet Genome Res 2021; 161:153-159. [PMID: 34229322 DOI: 10.1159/000515368] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2019] [Accepted: 02/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Terminal deletions in the long arm of chromosome 4 are an uncommon event, with a worldwide incidence of approximately 0.001%. The majority of these deletions occur de novo. Terminal deletion cases are usually accompanied by clinical findings that include facial and cardiac anomalies, as well as intellectual disability. In this study, we describe the case of a 2-year-old girl, the fourth child born to consanguineous parents. While her karyotype was normal, a homozygous deletion was identified in the chromosome 4q35.2 region by subtelomeric FISH. A heterozygous deletion of the chromosome 4q35.2 region was observed in both parents. According to the literature, this is the first report of a case that has inherited a homozygous deletion of chromosome 4qter from carrier parents. Subsequent array-CGH analyses were performed on both the case and her parents. Whole-exome sequencing was also carried out to determine potential variants. We detected a NM_001111125.3:c.2329G>T (p.Glu777Ter) nonsense variant of the IQSEC2 gene in the girl, a variant that is related to X-linked intellectual disability.
