Homozygous disruption of PDZD7 by reciprocal translocation in a consanguineous family: a new member of the Usher syndrome protein interactome causing…
2008
A homozygous reciprocal translocation, 46,XY,t(10;11),t(10;11), was detected in a boy with non-syndromic congenital sensorineural hearing impairment. Both parents and their four other children were heterozygous translocation carriers, 46,XX,t(10;11) and 46,XY,t(10;11), respectively. Fluorescence in situ hybridization of region-specific clones to patient chromosomes was used to localize the breakpoints within bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) RP11-108L7 on chromosome 10q24.3 and within BAC CTD-2527F12 on chromosome 11q23.3. Junction fragments were cloned by vector ligation and sequenced. The chromosome 10 breakpoint was identified within the PDZ domain containing 7 (PDZD7) gene, disrupti…
Skeletal abnormalities of the upper limbs--neonatal diagnosis of 49,XXXXY syndrome.
2012
A case of neonatal diagnosis of 49,XXXXY syndrome is presented. Clinical identification was prompted by a bilateral thickening of the radioulnar joints and X-ray imaging disclosing almost complete radioulnar synostosis. Conventional karyotyping was initiated and revealed a karyotype of 49,XXXXY. Previously reported neonatal symptoms such as low birth weight, muscular hypotonia, or genital malformations were absent in this case. Microsatellite analysis showed two different X chromosomes each present in two copies, supporting that the four X chromosomes had arisen from a nondisjunction in maternal meiosis I followed by a second nondisjunction involving both X chromosomes in meiosis II. Multid…
