A Case Study of Distinctive Phenotypes Arising from Emanuel Syndrome in Two Karyotypically Identical Patients Mot Yee Yik1, Rabiatul Basria S.M.N
Malaysian Journal of Medicine and Health Sciences (eISSN 2636-9346) CASE REPORT A Case Study of Distinctive Phenotypes Arising From Emanuel Syndrome in Two Karyotypically Identical Patients Mot Yee Yik1, Rabiatul Basria S.M.N. Mydin2, Emmanuel Jairaj Moses1, Shahrul Hafiz Mohd Zaini2,3, Abdul Rahman Azhari4, Narazah Mohd Yusoff1 1 Regenerative Medicine Sciences Cluster, Advanced Medical and Dental Institute, Universiti Sains Malaysia, 13200 Bertam, Kepala Batas, Pulau Pinang Malaysia 2 Oncological and Radiological Sciences Cluster, Advanced Medical and Dental Institute, Universiti Sains Malaysia, 13200 Bertam, Kepala Batas, Pulau Pinang Malaysia, 3 Institute of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Science, University of Malaya, 50603 Kuala Lumpur. 4 Human Genetics Unit, Advanced Diagnostic Laboratory, Advanced Medical and Dental Institute, Universiti Sains Malaysia ABSTRACT Emanuel syndrome, also referred to as supernumerary der(22) or t(11;22) syndrome, is a rare genomic syndrome. Patients are normally presented with multiple congenital anomalies and severe developmental disabilities. Affected newborns usually carry a derivative chromosome 22 inherited from either parent, which stems from a balanced translocation between chromosomes 11 and 22. Unfortunately, identification of Emanuel syndrome carriers is diffi- cult as balanced translocations do not typically present symptoms. We identified two patients diagnosed as Emanuel syndrome with identical chromosomal aberration: 47,XX,+der(22)t(11;22)(q24;q12.1)mat karyotype but presenting variable phenotypic features. Emanuel syndrome patients present variable phenotypes and karyotypes have also been inconsistent albeit the existence of a derivative chromosome 22. Our data suggests that there may exist ac- companying genetic aberrations which influence the outcome of Emanuel syndrome phenotypes but it should be cautioned that more patient observations, diagnostic data and research is required before conclusions can be drawn on definitive karyotypic-phenotypic correlations. -
Diagnostic Investigations in Individuals with Mental Retardation: a Systematic Literature Review of Their Usefulness

Here we report such study, based on information from original studies on the results with respect to detected significant anomalies (yield) of six major diagnostic investigations, and evaluate whether the yield differs depending on setting, MR severity, and gender. Results for cytogenetic studies showed the mean yield of chromosome aberrations in classical cytogenetics to be 9.5% (variation: 5.4% in school populations to 13.3% in institute populations; 4.1% in borderline- mild MR to 13.3% in moderate-profound MR; more frequent structural anomalies in females). The median yield of subtelomeric studies was 4.4% (also showing female predominance). For fragile X screening, yields were 5.4% (cytogenetic studies) and 2.0% (molecular studies) (higher yield in moderate-profound MR; checklist use useful). In metabolic investigations, the mean yield of all studies was 1.0% (results depending on neonatal screening programmes; in individual populations higher yield for specific metabolic disorders). Studies on neurological examination all showed a high yield (mean 42.9%; irrespective of setting, degree of MR, and gender). -

Affected 3:1 meiosis I malsegregation during gametogenesis children are usually identified in the newborn period in a phenotypically balanced translocation normal as the offspring of balanced (11;22) translocation carrier. While the true mortality rate in Emanuel syn- carriers.

Background: Gastric cancer is the third most second most important cause of death in the world (2). In frequent type of neoplasia. In northern Brazil, the State of Pará northern Brazil, the State of Pará presents a high incidence has a high incidence of this type of neoplasia. Limited data are of this type of neoplasia, and its capital, Belém, was ranked available so far on the genetic events involved in this disease. eleventh in number of gastric cancers per inhabitant among Materials and Methods: Dual-color fluorescence in situ all cities in the world with cancer records (2). Food factors hybridization (FISH) for the C-MYC gene and chromosome 8 may be related to the high incidence of this neoplasia in centromere was performed in 11 gastric adenocarcinomas. Pará, especially the high consumption of salt-conserved Results: All cases showed aneuploidy of chromosome 8 and food, the limited use of refrigerators and the low C-MYC amplification, in both the diffuse and the intestinal consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables (3). -
