    Abstract Several patients with partial trisomy 6p resulting from parental balanced translocations or from a de novo duplication or insertion have already been described. Here, we report on the first case of familial pure trisomy 6p as a result of interstitial tandem duplication. The patient, an 11-year-old female, presented with mild dysmorphic features, moderate intellectual disability with behavioral disturbances, immunodeficiency, and epilepsy. Conventional cytogenetic analysis showed a duplication of the 6p region in the patient and in her mother presenting with a partially overlapping phenotype. The rearrangement was confirmed and defined by molecular cytogenetic analysis, including FISH and array CGH analysis showing a gain of ~13.8 Mb from 6p12.3 to 6p21.31. The phenotype of a pure partial trisomy 6p is extremely heterogeneous depending on the gene contents of the duplicated region. The clinical features of our patients have been compared with overlapping cases from the literature.

    Abstract Partial trisomy of the long arm of chromosome 1 is a relatively rare cytogenetic anomaly. Its phenotype has still not been completely defined, because of the cytogenetic heterogeneity of the cases so far described. We report a prenatal case of partial 1q trisomy associated with partial monosomy 4q, secondary to balanced maternal translocation t(1;4). The trisomic segment extended from 1q31.1 to qter and the monosomy 4q was from 4q35.2 to qter. The phenotypic anomalies found by post-mortem and autopsy examinations were compared with those of similar cases reported in the literature. We performed standard cytogenetics and fluorescence in situ hybridization. Cerebral ventriculomegaly, present in our case, seemed to be a constant feature in partial 1q trisomies, so this cerebral malformation could be considered as the main echographic marker for this chromosomal imbalance and trisomy 1q should be added to the list of chromosomal abnormalities associated with ventriculomegaly.

    Abstract We report the results of a molecular study of a large family segregating the complete form of the Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS) in several members from three generations. We identified the mutant allele by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) amplification of the short tandem repeat (CAG)n, highly polymorphic in the population, present in the first exon of the androgen receptor (AR) gene. In this family four different alleles were detected and one of these showed a perfect segregation with the disease. This study enabled us to identify the heterozygous females in this family. We think that this simple, indirect test, is also suitable for prenatal diagnosis of Morris' syndrome when the mother is heterozygous for the size of the short tandem repeat and one affected subject in the family may be studied.

    Abstract We report a 12-year-old patient with Patau syndrome, in whom two cell lines were present from birth, one with total trisomy 13 due to isochromosome (13q), and one with partial trisomy 13. A cytogenetic re-evaluation at 9 years of age brought to light in skin fibroblasts a third cell line, partially monosomic for chromosome 13. The derivatives (13) present in the three cell lines were characterized through fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) experiments with suitable probes; the results suggested a sequence of rearrangements which beginning from an isochromosome (13q) could have led to the other two derivatives. We report the clinical data at birth and at the age of 12; at this age pigmentary lesions with phylloid pattern were noted. Cytogenetic findings of the chromosomal analyses on different tissues, including skin fibroblasts from differently pigmented areas, are also reported.

    Abstract We describe two malformed infants with trisomy 6p12.1-p22.1 due to 12/6 interchromosomal insertion. The phenotypic data observed in these patients are compared chiefly with a case cytogenetically similar described by Villa et al. [A. Villa, E.G. Gomez, L. Rodriguez, R.H. Rastrollo, M.E. Martinez Tallo, M.L. Martinez-Frias, Interstitial tandem duplication of 6p: a case with partial trisomy (6)(p12p21.3), Am. J. Med. Genet. 90 (2000) 369-375]. All three infants are trisomic for a genomic segment which largely overlaps that reported as duplicated in previous cases, but with the addition of a more proximal segment, extending from 6p12 to 6p21. We suggest that some of their phenotypic anomalies are due to the trisomy of this chromosomal region. We also speculate on the possible role played by the TFAP2B (Transcription Factor AP2-beta) gene, which is one of the genes mapped on the duplicated segment.
