Two varieties exist: isodicentric chromosome 9p Ii(9p)), where the two 9p 7 8 arms are lin1ed by a single centromeric region, and pseudodicentric 9p IidicI9p)), where one active 9 and one inactive centromere are lin1ed together by a proximal segment of 9q that may incorporate 10 11 euchromatic material. An living patients, i(9p) and idicI9p) are usually present in a mosaic state. :ifty 12 four cases, including fetuses, have been reported, of which only two have been molecularly 13 14 characterized using array5CG7. Tetrasomy 9p leads to a variable phenotype ranging from multiple 15 congenital anomalies with severe intellectual disability and growth delay to subnormal mental and 16 17 physical developments. 7ypertelorism, dysplastic ears, microretrognathia and bulbous nose are the 18 most common dysmorphic traits. 3icrocephaly, growth retardation, .oint dislocation, scoliosis, cardiac 19 20 and renal anomalies were reported in several cases. Those physical anomalies are often, but not 21 universally, accompanied by intellectual deficiency. The most recurrent brea1points, defined by 22 23 conventional cytogenetics, are 9p10, 9q12 and 9q13. We report on twelve new patients with tetrasomy 24 9p I3 i(9p), 2 idicI9p) and 1 structurally uncharacterized), including the first case of parental germline 25 26 mosaicism. All rearrangements have been characterized by NA microarray. /ased on our results and 27 a review of the literature, we further delineate the prenatal and postnatal clinical spectrum of this 28 29 imbalance. Cur results show poor genotype5phenotype correlations and underline the need of precise 30 31 molecular characterization of the supernumerary mar1er. 32 33 34 Keywords: tetrasomy 9p, isochromosome, microarray, mosaicism 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 Page 5 of 20 El Khattabi et al., 4 1 2 3 INTRODUCTION 4 5 9p tetrasomy IT9p) is a rare chromosomal imbalance defined by the presence of a supernumerary 6 chromosome, either an isochromosome or an isodicentric chromosome derived from the short arm of 7 8 chromosome 9. Ghymers described the first patient in 1903 LGhymers et al., 1903M. Schematically, the 9 two 9p arms can be separated by: a single centromeric region, leading to an isochromosome IiI9)), or 10 11 by two centromeres, forming either a dicentric IidicI9)) or a pseudodicentric Ipsu idicI9)) 12 chromosome, when only one of the two centromeres is active. An idicI9), the two 9p arms are lin1ed 13 14 together either by a segment of the pericentromeric heterochromatin from 9q or by a wider 9q5derived 15 segment that incorporates heterochromatic and proximal euchromatic material. An liveborns, T9p is 16 17 almost always observed in a mosaic state. 18 :ifty four cases have been reported in 40 years LAbe et al., 1900; Andou et al., 1994; /alestrazzi et al., 19 20 1923; Calvieri et al., 1922D Cavalcanti et al., 1920; Cazorla Calle.a et al., 2003; Chen et al., 2000D 21 Chen et al., 2012; Chen et al., 2014D Coman et al., 2002; Cuoco et al., 1922; de Azevedo 3oreira et 22 23 al., 2003D eurloo et al., 2004; handha et al., 2002; di 4era et al., 2002; utly et al., 1992; 24 Eggermann et al., 1992D Garcia5Cruz et al., 1922D Ghymers et al., 1903; Grass et al., 1993; 25 26 7engstschlager et al., 2004; 7enriques5Coelho et al., 2005D $alal et al., 1991; Leichtman et al., 199,; 27 Lloveras et al., 2004; 3cAuliffe et al., 2005; 3c owall et al., 1929D 3elaragno et al., 1992; 28 29 3oed.ono et al., 1920; Na1amura5Pereira et al., 2009D Na1amura et al., 1990; Cgino et al., 2000; Crye 30 31 et al., 1905; Papenhausen et al., 1990D Papoulidis et al., 2012; Par1 et al., 1995; Peters et al., 1922; 32 Podols1y et al., 2011D Rutten et al., 1904; Schaefer et al., 1991D Shapiro et al., 1925D Shehab et al., 33 34 2011; Stumm et al., 1999D Tan et al., 2000; Tang et al., 2004; Ton1 1990D 4an 7ove et al., 1994; 35 Wisniews1i et al., 1902M, among which 20 were prenatally diagnosed LCazorla Calle.a et al., 2003; 36 37 Chen et al., 2000; Chen et al., 2014D Coman et al., 2002D eurloo et al., 2004D handha et al., 2002D di 38 4era et al., 2002D utly et al., 1992D Eggermann et al., 1992; Grass et al., 1993; 7engstschlager et al., 39 40 2004; 3c owall et al., 1929D Na1amura5Pereira et al., 2009; Par1 et al., 1995; Podols1y et al., 2011; 41 Tan et al., 2000; Tang et al., 2004; 4an 7ove et al., 1994M. T9p leads to a variable phenotype ranging 42 43 from multiple congenital anomalies with severe intellectual disability and growth delay to subnormal 44 mental and physical developments. 7ypertelorism or telecanthus, dysplastic, low5set ears, 45 46 microretrognathia and bulbous nose are the most common dysmorphic traits. 3icrocephaly, growth 47 retardation, .oint dislocation, scoliosis, cardiac defects and renal anomalies were reported in several 48 49 cases ITable 1). Those physical anomalies are often, but not universally accompanied by intellectual 50 deficiency. Cnly two previously reported patients have been studied by microarray technology LChen 51 52 et al., 2014; Shehab et al., 2011M. We report here twelve new cases of T9p with different 53 rearrangements, all studied by NA microarray.

  • CYTOGENETICS: Rotation Director: Robert Zori, M
    CYTOGENETICS: Rotation director: Roberto Zori, M.D. 1. Description of the rotations: Training in cytogenetics involves training in I) prenatal and medical cytogenetics, II) cancer cytogenetics, and III) pediatric pathology. The dedicated 4-week cytogenetics rotation involves 3 weeks art the R. C. Philips Cytogenetics Laboratory and 1 wee of seminars held on the UF Health Science Center campus. At the R.C. Philips Cytogenetics Laboratory at Tacachale State Home (Gainesville, FL) residents are oriented to the basic laboratory methods used to construct and interpret karyotypes. This laboratory focuses on prenatal karyotypes and medical karyotypes for syndromic diagnosis (e.g., Down Syndrome) as well as cancer diagnosis (Competency #2: Medical Knowledge). Molecular techniques are employed such as florescent in situ hybridization (FISH). The residents learn to interpret the resulting karyotype and construct consultative reports. Residents will then be able to correlate this data with the clinical history and physical examination through a review of the patient's on-line medical record (OLMR), chart or by contacting the clinical service. Seminar topics include: Introduction to genetics, modes of inheritance, techniques, syndromes, and cytogenetics (Competency #2: Medical Knowledge). The objective of these seminars is to discuss nomenclature and classic genetic syndromes involving chromosomal disorders. At the conclusion of the rotation, each resident will be expected to present a seminar to the pathology faculty and residents on a topic that the resident found interesting in cytogenetics (Competencies #3: Practice-Based Learning and Improvement, #4: Communication, and #5 Professionalism). These experiences are supplemented by 1) directed readings, and 2) periodic lectures on the topic cytogenetics.

  • Tetrasomy 9P Syndrome in a Filipino Infant
    CASE REPORT Tetrasomy 9p Syndrome in a Filipino Infant Ebner Bon G. Maceda,1,2 Erena S. Kasahara,3 Edsel Allan G. Salonga,2 Myrian R. Dela Cruz2 and Leniza De Castro-Hamoy1,2 1Division of Clinical Genetics, Department of Pediatrics, College of Medicine and Philippine General Hospital, University of the Philippines Manila 2Institute of Human Genetics, National Institutes of Health, University of the Philippines Manila 3Division of Newborn Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, College of Medicine and Philippine General Hospital, University of the Philippines Manila ABSTRACT Tetrasomy 9p syndrome is a rare chromosomal abnormality syndrome whose most common features include hypertelorism, malformed ears, bulbous nose and microretrognathia. These features present as a result of an additional two copies of the short arm of chromosome 9. Here we present a neonate with characteristic facial features of hypertelorism, downslanted palpebral fissure, bulbous nose, small cupped ears, cleft lip and palate, and downturned corners of the mouth. Clinical features were consistent with the cytogenetic analysis of tetrasomy 9p. In general, clinicians are not as familiar with the features of tetrasomy 9p syndrome as that of more common chromosomal abnormalities like trisomies 13, 18, and 21. Hence, this case re-emphasizes the importance of doing the standard karyotyping for patients presenting with multiple congenital anomalies. Also, this is the first reported case of Tetrasomy 9p syndrome in Filipinos. Key Words: Tetrasomy 9p, isochromosome, hypertelorism, bulbous nose INTRODUCTION Tetrasomy 9p is a broad term used to describe the presence of a supernumerary chromosome of the short arm of chromosome 9. In more specific terms, the presence of 2 extra copies of 9p arms can be either isodicentric or pseudodicentric.

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. She reminds me of how yourself talking to them in the middle of the night about some lonely I felt when Max was newly diagnosed, when I knew no one interesting things our children share in common (obsession with with a disabled child let alone anyone with a rare chromosome catalogues, anyone?) And of course we also have an enormous disorder.

Submmited 15 August 2016; Accepted 22 October 2016; Published 17 January 2017 Small supernumerary marker chromosomes (sSMC) are still a major problem in clinical cytogenetics as they cannot be identified or characterized unambiguously by conventional cytogenetics alone. On the other hand, and perhaps more importantly in prenatal settings, there is a challenging situation for counseling how to predict the risk for an abnormal phenotype, especially in cases with a de novo sSMC. Here we report on the prenatal diagnosis of a mosaic tetrasomy 18p due to presence of an sSMC in a fetus without abnormal sonographic signs. For a 26-year-old, gravida 2 (para 1) amniocentesis was done due to consanguineous marriage and concern for Down syndrome, based on borderline risk assessment. Parental karyotypes were normal, indicating a de novo chromosome aberration of the fetus. FISH analysis as well as molecular karyotyping identified the sSMC as an i(18)(pter->q10:q10->pter), compatible with tetrasomy for the mentioned region.
