Abstract
Recent advances in molecular cytogenetics enable identification of small chromosomal aberrations that are undetectable by routine chromosome banding in 5-20% of patients with mental retardation/developmental delay (MR/DD) and dysmorphism. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical usefulness of two molecular cytogenetic techniques, metaphase high-resolution comparative genomic hybridization (HR-CGH) and targeted array CGH, also known as Chromosomal Microarray Analysis (CMA). A total of 116 patients with unexplained mild to severe MR and other features suggestive of a chromosomal abnormality with apparently normal or balanced karyotypes were analyzed using HR-CGH (43 patients) and/or CMA (91 patients). Metaphase HR-CGH detected seven interstitial deletions (16.3%). Rare deletions of chromosomes 16 (16p11.2p12.1) and 8 (8q21.11q21.2) were identified. Targeted CMA revealed copy-number changes in 19 of 91 patients (20.8%), among which 11 (11.8%) were clinically relevant, 6 (6.5%) were interpreted as polymorphic variants and 2 (2.1%) were of uncertain significance. The changes varied in size from 0.5 to 12.9 Mb. In summary, our results show that metaphase HR-CGH and array CGH techniques have become important components in cytogenetic diagnostics, particularly for detecting cryptic constitutional chromosome imbalances in patients with MR, in whom the underlying genetic defect is unknown. Additionally, application of both methods together increased the detection rates of genomic imbalances in the tested groups.

Abstract
In XY males, duplication of any part of the X chromosome except the pseudoautosomal region leads to functional disomy of the corresponding genes. We describe three unrelated male patients with mental retardation (MR), absent or delayed speech, and recurrent infections. Using high-resolution comparative genomic hybridization (HR-CGH), whole genome array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH), fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), and multiplex ligation probe amplification (MLPA), we have identified and characterized two different unbalanced Xq27.3-qter translocations on the Y chromosome (approx. 9 and 12 Mb in size) and one submicroscopic interstitial duplication (approx. 0.3-1.3 Mb) involving the MECP2 gene. Despite the differences in size of the duplicated segments, the patients share a clinical phenotype that overlaps with the features described in patients with MECP2 duplication. Our data confirm previous observations that MECP2 is the most important dosage-sensitive gene responsible for neurologic development in patients with duplications on the distal part of chromosome Xq.

Abstract
DYT1 primary torsion dystonia is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by deletion of a GAG triplet in exon 5 of the DYT1 gene. A significant proportion of individuals with early-onset generalized dystonia is believed to be DYT1 mutation carriers. We assessed the frequency of the GAG deletion in the DYT1 gene in a group of 61 Polish probands with clinical diagnosis of primary dystonia. The deletion was identified in four probands presenting with early-onset generalized disease (7%). Further studies in probands' families revealed two symptomatic and nine asymptomatic mutation carriers. We tested all mutation-positive individuals for the presence of some common polymorphisms within the DYT1 gene. Two of the 15 mutation-positive individuals additionally carried polymorphisms in 3'-UTR of the gene. Early onset in a limb and progression toward a generalized form, but not family history of dystonia, are indicative of DYT1 dystonia in Polish dystonic individuals.

Abstract
Haploinsufficiency of SOX9, a master gene in chondrogenesis and testis development, leads to the semi-lethal skeletal malformation syndrome campomelic dysplasia (CD), with or without XY sex reversal. We report on two children with CD and a phenotypically normal father, a carrier of a somatic mosaic SOX9 deletion. This is the first report of a mosaic deletion of SOX9; few familial CD cases with germline and somatic mutation mosaicism have been described. Our findings confirm the utility of aCGH and indicate that for a more accurate estimate of the recurrence risk for a completely penetrant autosomal dominant disorder, parental somatic mosaicism should be considered in healthy parents.

Abstract
We screened 165 mentally retarded patients for ARX gene 428-451 base pair (bp) duplication. Eighteen individuals from five families were found to carry the duplication, and all had intellectual impairment. Twelve presented with focal hand dystonia, while six patients had EEG abnormalities including seizures. Other symptoms included speech difficulties (4/18), testis enlargement (4/18), lower limb spasticity or foot dystonia (4/18), and facial telangiectasia (3/18). These features confirm the pleiotropic effect of the duplication.

Abstract
Du Pan syndrome is a rare acromesomelic dysplasia with characteristic clinical and radiographic findings. It is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. Almost all the patients reported have been from Muslim countries. We report on a female and her child with Du Pan syndrome from a Caucasian, Polish family. Three new heterozygous mutations clustered on one allele of the CDMP1 gene were identified in the affected individuals resulting in the first familial case with dominant Du Pan syndrome. A possible synergistic effect of the cis-acting mutations located in the active domain of the mature CDMP1 protein is likely to be responsible for the clinical expression of the disorder.

Abstract
We report the results of detailed clinical and molecular-cytogenetic studies in seven patients with ring chromosome 18. Classical cytogenetics and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis with the chromosome 18 painting probe identified five non-mosaic and two complex mosaic 46,XX,dup(18)(p11.2)/47,XX,dup(18)(p11.2),+r(18) and 46,XX,dup(18)(p11.32)/47,XX,dup(18)(p11.32),+r(18) cases. FISH analysis was performed for precise characterization of the chromosome 18 breakpoints using chromosome 18-specific short-arm paint, centromeric, subtelomeric, and a panel of fifteen Alu- and DOP-PCR YAC probes. The breakpoints were assessed with an average resolution of approximately 2.2 Mb. In all r(18) chromosomes, the 18q terminal deletions ranging from 18q21.2 to 18q22.3 ( approximately 35 and 9 Mb, respectively) were found, whereas only in four cases could the loss of 18p material be demonstrated. In two cases the dup(18) chromosomes were identified as inv dup(18)(qter-->p11.32::q21.3-->qter) and inv dup(18)(qter-->p11.32::p11.32-->p11.1: :q21.3-->qter)pat, with no evidence of an 18p deletion. A novel inter-intrachromatid mechanism of formation of duplications and ring chromosomes is proposed. Although the effect of "ring instability syndrome" cannot be excluded, the phenotypes of our patients with characteristic features of 18q- and 18p- syndromes are compared and correlated with the analyzed genotypes. It has been observed that a short neck with absence of cardiac anomalies may be related to the deletion of the 18p material from the r(18) chromosome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The risk of aneuploidy in a fetus is the main reason for referral in approximately 80% of prenatal studies. Recently, a new method for rapid detection of the most frequent aneuploidies affecting chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X and Y has been developed. Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) on uncultured fetal cells with probes specific for these chromosomes has been described which enables diagnosing aneuploidies within 24 to 48 hours. The purpose of the study was evaluation of clinical utility of this new method in prenatal diagnostics. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of the results of 1043 prenatal cytogenetic studies performed with conventional banding methods was done. Number and type of chromosomal abnormalities found in different categories of indications with special emphasis on aberrations undetectable by FISH were analysed. RESULTS Chromosomal aberrations were found in 4.7% studies. The frequency of aneuploidies was 1.8% accounting for 35.8% of all diagnosed chromosomal abnormalities. In the group of 854 studies performed for elevated risk of aneuploidy it accounted for 60.7% (17/28) abnormalities. All other aberrations could not be detected by FISH with probes for most frequent aneuploidies. Among them, there were 6 unbalanced: del (8) and pseudic (15) with known abnormal phenotype and 4 marker chromosomes with unknown clinical consequences. Three other abnormalities were balanced but familial origin of them was documented. CONCLUSIONS A karyotype using classical banding methods should be performed whatever the indication of prenatal study is. It is the only fully informative method able to detect all chromosomal abnormalities. Interphase FISH assay must be considered as a complementary procedure to fetal karyotype analysis as it is designed only for aneuploidy identification. However it may be a very useful method for rapid diagnosis in specific clinical conditions especially in the cases of high risk of aneuploidy.

Abstract
We report the results of detailed molecular-cytogenetic studies of two isodicentric Y [idic(Y)] chromosomes identified in patients with complex mosaic karyotypes. We used fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to determine the structure and genetic content of the abnormal chromosomes. In the first patient, classical cytogenetics and FISH analysis with Y chromosome-specific probes showed in peripheral blood lymphocytes a karyotype with 4 cell lines: 45,X[128]/46,X,+idic(Y)(p11.32)[65]/47,XY,+idic(Y)(p11.32)[2]/47,X,+2idic(Y)(p11.32)[1]. No Y chromosome material was found in the removed gonads. For precise characterization of the Yp breakpoint, FISH and fiberFISH analysis, using a telomeric probe and a panel of cosmid probes from the pseudoautosomal region PAR1, was performed. The results showed that the breakpoint maps approximately 1,000 Kb from Ypter. The second idic(Y) chromosome was found in a boy with mild mental retardation, craniofacial anomalies, and the karyotype in lymphocytes 47,X,+idic(Y)(q11.23),+i(Y)(p10)[77]/46,X,+i(Y)(p10)[23]. To our knowledge, such an association has not been previously described. FISH and PCR analysis indicated the presence of at least two copies of the SRY gene in all analyzed cells. Using 17 PCR primers, the Yq breakpoint was shown to map between sY123 (DYS214) and sY121 (DYS212) loci in interval 5O in AZFb region. Possible mechanisms of formation of abnormal Y chromosomes and karyotype-phenotype correlations are discussed.

Abstract
A large number of cases with supernumerary marker chromosomes (SMCs) should be compared to achieve a better delineation of karyotype-phenotype correlations. Here we present four phenotypically abnormal patients with autosomal marker chromosomes analysed by fluorescence in situ hybridisation using centromeric, telomeric, and unique sequence probes, as well as forward and reverse painting. We also report the first case, to the best of our knowledge, of an SMC derived from chromosome 5. Furthermore, a marker chromosome 20 in a patient with sex differentiation abnormalities, a double mar(6) in a boy with psychomotor retardation, and the association of r(19) with dup(21q21.2q22.12) are described. Although the mar(6) was very small, the presence of euchromatin was shown, suggesting that the partial trisomy of pericentric region derived sequences is implicated in the aetiology of the abnormal phenotypes.

Abstract
Six families with mosaicism are identified in a series of 62 unrelated families with a mutation in one of the two tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) genes, TSC1 or TSC2. In five families, somatic mosaicism was present in a mildly affected parent of an index patient. In one family with clinically unaffected parents, gonadal mosaicism was detected after TSC was found in three children. The detection of mosaicism has consequences for genetic counseling of the families involved, as changed risks apply to individuals with mosaicism, both siblings and parents. Clinical investigation of parents of patients with seemingly sporadic mutations is essential to determine their residual chance of gonadal and/or somatic mosaicism, unless a mosaic pattern is detected in the index patient, proving a de novo event. In our data set, the exclusion of signs of TSC in the parents of a patient with TSC reduced the chance of one of the parents to be a (mosaic) mutation carrier from 10% to 2%. In the five families with somatic mosaicism, the parent was given the diagnosis after the diagnosis was made in the child.

Abstract
Mutations in the genes encoding different parts of phenylalanine hydroxylation system cause persistent hyperphenylalaninaemia. The most frequent form of hyperphenylalaninaemia is caused by mutations in the PAH gene. The most common variant result from defect of tetrahydrobiopterin synthase. Mutations in the PAH and PTS genes in the Polish population are presented. Genotype--phenotype correlations are discussed.

Abstract
Results of cytogenetic studies, performed in a group of 201 institutionalized mentally retarded males, are presented. At least two cytogenetic methods for eliciting the Xq27.3 fragile site, recommended by the Fourth International Workshop on the Fra X Syndrome were used. A subgroup of 67 out of 201 studied males was also examined using molecular methods. In 6 (2.9%) males fra X syndrome was diagnosed. All cytogenetic positive results were confirmed by molecular analysis. Five patients had full expansion CGG repeats and one had both premutation and full mutation. Postulated frequency of fra X syndrome in Polish population being 0.2-0.4/1,000 males seems to be lower than it could be expected on the basis of previous literature data.

Abstract
The unstable DNA sequence in the FMR1 gene was analyzed in 85 individuals from Polish families with fragile X syndrome in order to characterize mutations responsible for the disease in Poland. In all affected individuals classified on the basis of clinical features and expression of the fragile site at X(q27.3) a large expansion of the unstable sequence (full mutation) was detected. About 5% (2 of 43) of individuals with full mutation did not express the fragile site. Among normal alleles, ranging in size from 20 to 41 CGG repeats, allele with 29 repeats was the most frequent (37%). Transmission of premutated and fully mutated alleles to the offspring was always associated with size increase. No change in repeat number was found when normal alleles were transmitted.

Abstract
A group of 30 patients clinically described as having the Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) were studied using microsatellites from 15q11-13 and methylation analysis with probe PW71B (D15S63). The patients were categorized according to clinical symptoms. 80% of all patients were informative using molecular and cytogenetic methods. Among 8 patients with an atypical PWS phenotype, 2 showed uniparental disomy, and 2 had a mosaic deletion for 15q. The last 4 atypical and 2 typical patients had neither molecular defects confirmed by microsatellite analysis nor a parent-of-origin-specific methylation pattern for PWS. Our results confirm that methylation pattern analysis provides an additional and alternative microsatellite analysis to diagnose PWS.

Abstract
The case of a 1.5 year old girl with clinical traits of craniofacial dysmorphy, hypotonia, polydactyly and moderate mental retardation is presented. Routine cytogenetic study revealed the presence of a large additional chromosomal fragment associated with the nucleolus organizing region on one of chromosomes 13. The banding pattern suggested the additional fragment was a part of the long arm of this chromosome. The set of clinical symptoms was only partly consistent with those characteristic for trisomy 13q2 and 3. Application of the FISH technique with a chromosome 13 specific library enabled final confirmation of the origin of the extra chromosome fragment from the long arm of chromosome 13. The presented case proves the usefulness of the FISH technique for the diagnosis of chromosomal aberrations and for adequate clinical interpretation of cytogenetic results.

Abstract
A general approach to genetic problems in paediatrics has been presented. The rapid developments in molecular genetic techniques have made it clear that genetic concepts are important in all areas of medicine. Because the majority of genetic disorders are diagnosed at birth or during the first years of life, "thinking genetically" has become an important element of paediatric education. Types of genetic disorders and priorities in diagnostic procedures are presented. Diagnostic possibilities based on DNA analysis in an increasing number of disorders as well as treatment and prevention problems are discussed.

Abstract
Inter-generational transmission of normal and mutated (CGG)n sequences in the FMR1 gene was studied in 17 Polish fragile X families. All normal alleles were stable when transmitted to the progeny. Twenty-five of the 26 transmitted maternal premutations expanded to full mutation level. No correlation between the number of CGG repeats in the maternal premutation and the size of the mutation in the offspring was found. Analysis of the mutation size in siblings revealed that the length of full mutations is sex-dependent. The average length of the (CGG)n sequence in sons of fragile X female carriers was larger than in daughters.

Abstract
Results of marker chromosome identification using the FISH technique are presented. The origin of markers was determined in 11 patients with mosaic karyotype 45,X/46,X,mar. Using probes specific for X and Y chromosomes, we demonstrated that in 8 patients the marker originated from the X chromosome and in 3 cases it was an abnormal Y chromosome. These 3 patients were identified as at high risk for developing gonadoblastoma and prophylactic gonadectomy was performed. Results of these studies show that the FISH technique is a very useful method in the diagnosis of sex chromosome abnormalities.

Abstract
Systematic quality assessment of cytogenetic studies is very important for maintaining high standards of diagnostic testing and adequate genetic service. Results of quality assessment for 714 pre- and 907 postnatal cytogenetic studies performed in the Genetic Department of the National Research Institute of Mother and Child are presented. The assessment included: reporting time, quality of chromosome preparations, reliability and success rate of the studies. Mean reporting time for blood samples was 20 days and for amniotic fluid 23 days. Chromosome banding quality was adequate to reasons for referral in 86.9% of blood samples and in 100% of amniotic fluids. The success rate for pre- and postnatal studies was 99.4 and 96.6%, respectively. The need to develop a quality assessment scheme for clinical cytogenetics in Poland is discussed.

Abstract
Among 65 CF diagnosed patients with both CFTR gene mutations known genotype-phenotype studies were performed. Correlation between pancreatic insufficiency and so called "severe mutations" was found. Respiratory tract symptoms do not seem to depend on one specific mutation as well as meconium ileus is not only limited to the group of patients with delta F508/delta F508 genotype. Some other genotype - clinical features correlation in CF patients are discussed.

Abstract
The results of DNA analysis with the aid of specific molecular probes are discussed. DNA analysis involved 22 families of a high risk of cystic fibrosis. A significance of the obtained results in genetic counselling is also discussed. DNA analysis enabled detection or exclusion of cystic fibrosis gene carrier state in patient's relatives. DNA analysis proved fully informative in case of 17 families being a base to offer these families prenatal diagnosis of the disease in the I trimester of pregnancy, if such a family plans conception, and to accept this diagnostic technique.

Abstract
Characteristics of the chromosomal aberrations diagnosed in 959 prenatal tests in the II trimester of pregnancy is presented. Chromosomal aberrations were diagnosed in 33 tests (3.4%). Twenty one out of these aberrations (2.2%) were of labile character. Six aberrations resulted from the parental segregation, translocation or chromosomal inversion. In 12 cases fetus inherited stable aberration from one of parents. It amounted to 1.2% of all tested cases. Chromosomal aberrations were diagnosed in 2.7% cases tested due to the risk related to the mother's age. Half of them was trisomy of chromosome 21. Chromosomal aneuploidy in the progeny of families with a child with the same abnormality was diagnosed in 1.6% of cases. Chromosomal mosaicism was diagnosed in 2.2% of cases including 0.2% of cases with true mosaicism and 1.98% of cases with pseudomosaicism. Incidence and type of the diagnosed chromosomal aberrations coincided with foreseen aberrations for each group of the genetic risk.

Abstract
A new fluorogenic substrate, 4 methylumbelliferyl beta-D-6-sulphogalactoside, was used for the assay of galactose-6-sulphate sulphatase activity in chorionic villi, cultured villus cells, and amniocytes. The fluorometric assay is much more convenient than the conventional assay using radiolabelled, sulphated oligosaccharides. Both types of substrate were used in the prenatal diagnosis of three pregnancies at risk for Morquio type A disease using amniocytes. These enzyme tests, as well as electrophoresis of glycosaminoglycans in the amniotic fluid, indicated affected fetuses in two pregnancies and a non-affected fetus in one.

Abstract
We analyzed DNA from 34 Polish and 63 Dutch cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and their families using the polymorphic markers XV2c and KM19, which are in linkage disequilibrium with the CF mutation. Strong linkage disequilibrium was found in the Dutch population sample, but the haplotypes of the Polish chromosomes showed a significantly less extreme disequilibrium. Our data and previous studies indicate that the highest degree of homogeneity of the CF defect and hence the best possible use of the XV2c/KM19/CF linkage disequilibrium for CF carrier detection/exclusion is in populations of northern European origin.
