  • RARE CHROMOSOME DISORDERS the Term, ‘Rare Chromosome Disorders’, Refers to Conditions Which
    INFORMATION SHEET Page 1 COMPLEX LEARNING DIFFICULTIES AND DISABILITIES RESEARCH PROJECT (CLDD) RARE CHROMOSOME DISORDERS The term, ‘rare chromosome disorders’, refers to conditions which: 1. occur due to missing, duplicated or re-arranged chromosome material 2. have a low prevalence rate (thus not including chromosomal disorders such as Down syndrome). Chromosomes are structures found in the nuclei of cells in human bodies. Each chromosome contains thousands of genes which determine how we grow and develop. A typically developing person will have 23 pairs of chromosomes with one member of each pair being inherited from each parent, giving a total of 46 individual chromosomes. Two of these are the sex chromosomes which determine whether we are female (XX) or male (XY). The remaining 44 chromosomes are grouped in 22 pairs, numbered 1 to 22. The arms of a chromosome are called ‘p’ (shorter arm) and ‘q’ (long arm) (see Figure 1); these arms are separated into numerical regions, which in turn are divided into bands and sub-bands. p q Figure 1. Diagram of a chromosome Individually, rare chromosome disorders are extremely uncommon, with some being actually unique; however, collectively rare chromosome disorders make up at least one in every 200 live births, with babies either having symptoms from birth or early childhood, or being carriers of a chromosomal abnormality and experiencing the effects when they try to reproduce in later life (Searle and Hultén, 2009). Recent advances in technology and medical expertise has meant that chromosomes can be viewed at ever increasing magnifications, which is resulting in the detection of more complex defects.

BMC Medical Genetics 2014, 15:16 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2350/15/16 CASE REPORT Open Access Type II diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance due to severe hyperinsulinism in patients with 1p36 deletion syndrome and a Prader-Willi-like phenotype Stefano Stagi1,4*, Elisabetta Lapi2, Marilena Pantaleo2, Francesco Chiarelli3, Salvatore Seminara1 and Maurizio de Martino1 Abstract Background: Deletion of the subtelomeric region of 1p36 is one of the most common subtelomeric deletion syndromes. In monosomy 1p36, the presence of obesity is poorly defined, and glucose metabolism deficiency is rarely reported. However, the presence of a typical Prader-Willi-like phenotype in patients with monosomy 1p36 is controversial. Case presentation: In this report, we describe two female patients, one who is 6 years 2 months of age and another whois10years1monthofage,bothreferredtoourhospitalforobesity and a Prader-Willi-like phenotype. These patients presented with severe obesity (body mass index [BMI] was 26.4 and 27.7, respectively), hyperphagia and developmental delay. Analysis of basal hormone levels showed normal thyroid function and adrenal function but considerable basal hyperinsulinism (the insulin levels were 54.5 and 49.2 μU/ml, respectively). In patient 1, glycaemia was 75 mg/dl (HOMA-R 10.09), and the HbA1c level was 6.1%; in patient 2, glycaemia was 122 mg/dl, and the HbA1c level was 6.6% (HOMA-R 14.82). An oral glucose tolerance test demonstratedimpairedglucosetoleranceanddiabetes mellitus with marked insulin resistance (the peak insulin level for each patient was 197 and 279 μU/mL, respectively, while the 120’ insulin level of each patient was 167 and 234 μU/mL, respectively).

I’ve just returned from Unique’s most recent family conference in Bristol where 150 of us parents and carers had a lovely time in workshops, meals and activities, chatting and watching our children milling around together like one big family since – although we had never met before – we have shared so many experiences in common. However in contrast I have also just met a new mum who has just moved to my area from far away with two toddlers, one with a rare joys of the internet, it is becoming easier to meet others with similar, chromosome disorder, who is starting from scratch with no even very rare, chromosome disorders around the world and to find professional, medical or social support.

  • HIGH RISK 1P36 This Pregnancy Is Classified As HIGH RISK by This Screen for a Deletion at 1P36, Which Is Associated with 1P36 Deletion Syndrome
    Patient Report |FINAL Client: Example Client ABC123 Patient: Patient, Example 123 Test Drive Salt Lake City, UT 84108 DOB 4/3/1982 UNITED STATES Gender: Female Patient Identifiers: 01234567890ABCD, 012345 Physician: Doctor, Example Visit Number (FIN): 01234567890ABCD Collection Date: 01/01/2017 12:34 Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing for Fetal Aneuploidy with Microdeletions ARUP test code 2010232 Result Summary HIGH RISK 1p36 This pregnancy is classified as HIGH RISK by this screen for a deletion at 1p36, which is associated with 1p36 deletion syndrome. This result should be confirmed by a diagnostic test. Dependent on fetal fraction, 7 to 17% of pregnancies classified as HIGH RISK are found to have 1p36 deletion syndrome. TEST INFORMATION: Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing for Fetal Aneuploidy (Powered by Constellation) with or without Microdeletions METHODOLOGY: DNA isolated from the maternal blood, which contains placental DNA, is amplified at 13,300+ loci using a targeted PCR assay and sequenced using a high-throughput sequencer. Sequence data are analyzed using Natera's Constellation software to estimate the fetal copy number and identify whole chromosome abnormalities for chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X, and Y as well as fetal sex. Barring QC failures and fetal fractions below the performance limits of the algorithm, the minimum confidence threshold is 0.98 for a high risk call. For both low risk and high risk calls, the majority of specimens will have a confidence of >0.99 across all regions tested. If a sample fails to meet the quality threshold, no result will be reported for one or more chromosomes. Microdeletions: An additional 6,600+ loci are amplified to estimate the fetal copy numbers of chromosomal regions attributed to 22q11.2, Prader-Willi, Angelman, Cri-du-chat, and 1p36 deletion syndromes.

  • Panorama™ Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening for Microdeletion Syndromes
    NON-INVASIVE PRENATAL SCREENING FOR MICRODELETION SYNDROMES HALL 1 PANORAMA™ NON-INVASIVE PRENATAL SCREENING FOR MICRODELETION SYNDROMES MEGAN P. HALL, PH.D. INTRODUCTION PanoramaTM is a non-invasive prenatal screening test for fetal chromosomal anomalies. The screening test analyzes fetal cell-free DNA (cfDNA) isolated from maternal plasma and can be performed as early as 9 weeks of gestation with high accuracy. Panorama was originally designed to screen for Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome), Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome), Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome), Monosomy X (Turner syndrome), sex chromosome trisomies, triploidy and, if requested, fetal sex (1-5). Recently, the clinical scope of Panorama was expanded to include screening for five microdeletion syndromes. This Panorama Extended Panel now screens for the 22q11.2 deletion (DiGeorge), 1p36 deletion, Cri-du-chat, Prader-Willi, and Angelman deletions. Validation studies have demonstrated sensitivities of greater than 93% and specificities of greater than 99% for each microdeletion condition. MICRODELETION PREVALENCE AND TRADITIONAL MICRODELETION DETECTION Clinically relevant microdeletions and microduplications are more common than previously thought, occurring in up to 1 in 60 pregnancies, and can occur in pregnancies lacking ultrasound anomalies (6). The combined at-birth incidence of the 5 microdeletion syndromes covered by this screening test is approximately 1 in 1,000 (7-11), approaching the overall rate observed for Down syndrome (12). The most common microdeletion, 22q11.2 deletion, is more common than Edwards syndrome and Patau syndrome combined, and is more common than cystic fibrosis (Figure 1)(10,12,13). Further, the risk for microdeletions is independent of maternal age, unlike whole chromosome aneuploidies like Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) that are more prevalent in women of advanced maternal age.

  • Non-Classical 1P36 Deletion in a Patient
    Yokoyama et al. Mol Cytogenet (2020) 13:42 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13039-020-00510-5 CASE REPORT Open Access Non-classical 1p36 deletion in a patient with Duane retraction syndrome: case report and literature review Emiy Yokoyama1, Camilo E. Villarroel1, Sinhué Diaz2, Victoria Del Castillo1, Patricia Pérez‑Vera3, Consuelo Salas3, Samuel Gómez4, Reneé Barreda1, Bertha Molina5 and Sara Frias5,6* Abstract Background: Monosomy of 1p36 is considered the most common terminal microdeletion syndrome. It is character‑ ized by intellectual disability, growth retardation, seizures, congenital anomalies, and distinctive facial features that are absent when the deletion is proximal, beyond the 1p36.32 region. In patients with proximal deletions, little is known about the associated phenotype, since only a few cases have been reported in the literature. Ocular manifestations in patients with classical 1p36 monosomy are frequent and include strabismus, myopia, hypermetropia, and nystagmus. However, as of today only one patient with 1p36 deletion and Duane retraction syndrome (DRS) has been reported. Case presentation: We describe a patient with intellectual disability, facial dysmorphism, and bilateral Duane retrac‑ tion syndrome (DRS) type 1. Array CGH showed a 7.2 Mb de novo deletion from 1p36.31 to 1p36.21. Discussion: Our patient displayed DRS, which is not part of the classical phenotype and is not a common clinical feature in 1p36 deletion syndrome; we hypothesized that this could be associated with the overlapping deletion between the distal and proximal 1p36 regions. DRS is one of the Congenital Cranial Dysinnervation Disorders, and a genetic basis for the syndrome has been extensively reported.
