The mosaicism 46,XX/46,XX,del(10)(p13)/47,XX, +r/47,XX,del(10)(p13), +r was found in the lymphocytes and the fibroblasts of a patient with the following : profound mental retardation; craniofacial dysmorphism with frontal bossing, fine eyebrows, a large hypoplastic nasal bridge, prognathism of the upper jaw, thick lips; a long and thin neck; congenital heart disease; skeletal malformations, with club feet; and hypotonia and lax ligaments. These malformations, compatible with the trisomy 10p syndrome, suggest that the supernumerary ring chromosome was composed of 10p material. An increase of HK1 and GOT1 activities was found. This is in favour of a partial trisomy of chromosome 10. The relative frequencies of the clones constituting the mosaic vary from tissue to tissue and with time.

PMID:[46,XX/46,XX,del (10) (p13)/47,XX,+r/47,XX,del (10) (p13), + r mosaicism and partial trisomy 10p phenotype (author's transl)]. 31 77

Five cases from two nonrelated families with partial trisomy 10q due to a reciprocal translocation t(10;17)(q25;p13) and t(10;11)(q24;q23), respectively, are reported. The phenotypic findings are compared with those of 17 previously published cases; the clinical data justify the conclusion that cases with trisomy 10q show a specific syndrome of mental retardation and malformation characterized by psychomotor retardation, growth retardation, hypotonia, high forehead, flat face, fine and arched eyebrows, antimongoloid slant of the eyes, narrow palpebral fissures, hypertelorism, short nose, bow-shaped mouth, short neck (kypho)scoliosis, and in some cases microcephaly.

A minute familial translocation t(10;16) (q26;p13.1) was detected in a family with 6 affected children in 2 generations and 9 carriers in 3 generations. This apparently unique translocation is associated with a deleterious syndrome which includes fetal hydrops, ascites, complex congenital heart defect, psychomotor retardation, failure to thrive, hypotonia, narrow palpebral fissures, abnormally modeled, apparently low-set ears, cleft palate, thumb abnormalities, hypogenitalism, inguinal hernia, and sparse hair. All children of known or presumed carriers have been either balanced or unbalanced carriers of this translocation.

Authors report two patients from different families who present similar abnormalities caused by an "almost complete" trisomy of the short arm of chromosome 5 [case No. 1: 46, XY, der (20), t (5; 20) (p11;p13), mat; case No.2: 46, XY, dup (5p)]. Several family members of case No. 1 were balanced translocation carriers. Case No. 2 is probably due to de novo duplication. Clinical findings in our cases and those cited in the literature allow identification of certain main features characteristic of "almost complete" trisomy 5p: hypotonia, weak cry, mongoloid slant of eyes, epicanthus, depressed nasal bridge, auricular anomalies, bilateral cryptorchidism and, less frequently, macrocephaly, micrognathia and club feet.

The trisomy 5p (5p13----p ter) was identified by G-banding in a proband girl, whose mother was a balanced translocation carrier 46, XX, t(5;8) (p13;p23). Based on the clinical and cytogenetic findings, previously published and our own, it is possible to define a particular phenotype associated with the dup (5p), including (5p13), or the complete short arm. Patients were of similar phenotype: mental retardation, macrocephaly, hypotonia, mongoloid eye slant, low-set ears, depressed nasal bridge, macroglossia, longer fingers, epicanthus, thick cheeks.

A newborn infant is reported who had aganglionic megacolon, renal hypoplasia, severe growth retardation, generalised hypotonia, and various dysmorphic features. Chromosome analysis of lymphocytes and fibroblasts showed a ring chromosome 10 with breakpoints at p13-15 and q26. AluI digestion showed that the ring chromosome was monocentric. FISH with an alpha satellite probe specific for chromosome 10 showed one signal only in about 20% of interphase nuclei. It is suggested that aganglionic megacolon could result from dynamic somatic mosaicism owing to loss of the ring chromosome.

Duplication of the short arm of chromosome 5 [dup(5)(p13.1p15.3)] has been associated with craniofacial malformations, cardiac defects, renal and intestinal malformations, limb abnormalities, and mental retardation. We report a 2-year-old white girl with a de novo 46,XX,inv dup(5)(p14p15.3) chromosome constitution, who presented with motor and language delays, bilateral strabismus, small posteriorly angulated ears, a high-arched palate, mild hypotonia, and an atrial septal defect. A CT scan of the head was normal. In situ hybridization with a cosmid probe specific for sub-band 5p15.3 (Oncor, Inc., Gaithersburg, MD) was used to identify the origin and orientation of the extra material. The milder manifestations in our patient are consistent with the hypothesis that significant phenotypic effects are associated with duplication of material proximal to band 5p14. This study demonstrates the usefulness of in situ probes in identifying the origin and orientation of duplicated genetic material.

We present two unrelated cases of partial trisomy for the short arm of chromosome 5, the first such cases reported in Japan. The features are characterized by hypertelorism, low set ears, arachnodactyly, laryngostenosis, hypotonia and some cerebral malformation. The characteristic facial expression and arachnodactyly are the key features used to diagnose this disorder. A high-resolution chromosome banding technique showed that the karyotype of the first patient was 46,XX,inv dup(5) (p13.1-->p15.3) de novo and that of the second patient was 46,XX,dir dup(5) (p13.3-->p15.2) de novo. The similar symptoms in the two cases, despite the difference in karyotypes, were caused by duplication of 5p including segment 5p13. This would be a key site for this disorder.

Two unpublished cases with partial tandem duplication of 12p and one previously published case were studied by fluorescence in situ hybridization using 11 cosmid DNA probes from 12p. We propose that the smallest duplications of 12(p13.2pter) and 12(p13.1p13.33) produce the "trisomy 12p syndrome" which is characterized by heavy birth weight, macrocephaly, muscular hypotonia, short neck, flat face, high forehead, prominent cheeks, large philtrum, short nose with anteverted nostrils, and broad everted lower lip. From a review of the published cases we conclude that gross malformations are lacking in "pure" trisomy 12p, and mental retardation is severe in complete and moderate in partial trisomy 12p. Polydactyly and accessory nipples were found only with almost complete trisomy 12p. Abnormalities of hair growth may be related to a gene at 12p. The sub-band 12p11.21 may be critical for acrocallosal syndrome. Macrocephaly may be due to a metabolic disorder.

Trisomy 5p and Miller-Dieker syndromes frequently are the result of unbalanced segregations of reciprocal translocations of chromosomes 5 and 17 with other autosomes. The critical regions for the expression of the mentioned syndromes have been mapped to 5p13-->pter, and 17p13.3-->pter. In this report, we describe an 8-year-old girl with mental retardation, postnatal growth deficiency, generalized muscular hypotonia, seizures, microcephaly, cortical atrophy, partial agenesis of corpus callosum, cerebral ventriculomegaly, facial anomalies, patent ductus arteriosus, pectus excavatum, long fingers, and bilateral talipes equinovarus caused by the presence of a 46,XX,der(17)t(5;17)(p13.1;p13.3)mat chromosome complement. Cytogenetic studies of the family confirmed a balanced reciprocal translocation (5;17)(p13.1;p13.3) in her mother, maternal grandfather, maternal aunt, and a female first cousin. Fluorescence in situ hybridization studies on the mother and the proposita using three probes, which map to distal 17p, confirmed the reciprocal translocation in the mother and a terminal deletion in the patient, which resulted in the retention of LIS1 and D17S379 loci and deletion of the 17p telomere. These findings and the phenotype of the proposita, strongly suggest that genes telomeric to LIS1 and locus D17S379 are involved in many clinical findings, including the minor facial anomalies of the Miller-Dieker syndrome.
