RESUMO

To date, 5 cases of 17p13.1 microduplications have been described in the literature. Intellectual disability was reported as the core feature, together with minor facial dysmorphisms and obesity, but a characteristic phenotype for 17p13.1 microduplication has not been delineated. Here, we describe a patient with a 1.56-Mb de novo duplication in 17p13.1, affected by mild intellectual disability, facial dysmorphisms, obesity, and diabetes. By comparing the different phenotypes of currently described cases, we delineated the main clinical features of 17p13.1 microduplication syndrome. All patients described to date had variable facial dysmorphisms; therefore, it was difficult to define a common facial gestalt. Furthermore, we stress endocrinological abnormalities as important features and the need to monitor these over time.

RESUMO

We report eight unrelated individuals with intellectual disability and overlapping submicroscopic deletions of 8q21.11 (0.66-13.55 Mb in size). The deletion was familial in one and simplex in seven individuals. The phenotype was remarkably similar and consisted of a round face with full cheeks, a high forehead, ptosis, cornea opacities, an underdeveloped alae, a short philtrum, a cupid's bow of the upper lip, down-turned corners of the mouth, micrognathia, low-set and prominent ears, and mild finger and toe anomalies (camptodactyly, syndactyly, and broadening of the first rays). Intellectual disability, hypotonia, decreased balance, sensorineural hearing loss, and unusual behavior were frequently observed. A high-resolution oligonucleotide array showed different proximal and distal breakpoints in all of the individuals. Sequencing studies in three of the individuals revealed that proximal and distal breakpoints were located in unique sequences with no apparent homology. The smallest region of overlap was a 539.7 kb interval encompassing three genes: a Zinc Finger Homeobox 4 (ZFHX4), one microRNA of unknown function, and one nonfunctional pseudogen. ZFHX4 encodes a transcription factor expressed in the adult human brain, skeletal muscle, and liver. It has been suggested as a candidate gene for congenital bilateral isolated ptosis. Our results suggest that the 8q21.11 submicroscopic deletion represents a clinically recognizable entity and that a haploinsufficient gene or genes within the minimal deletion region could underlie this syndrome.

RESUMO

Naegeli(-Franceschetti-Jadassohn) syndrome and Dermatopathia Pigmentosa Reticularis are allelic disorders, both characterized by a congenital generalized reticulate hyperpigmentation, palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and other ectodermal symptoms. The disorders differ in their primary pigmentation localization and hair and dental manifestations. They resemble Dyskeratosis Congenita and Poikiloderma Clericuzio type in many of the skin changes, but especially the presence of leukoplakia and bone marrow disfunctioning in the first, and of telangiectasias, generalized hyperkeratosis of palms and soles, and nail pachyonychia in the latter are distinguishing features. Here we present two unrelated patients who have prenatal and postnatal growth retardation, microcephaly, developmental delay, generalized reticulate hyperpigmentation, hypohidrosis, absent fingertip prints, and absent palmoplantar hyperkeratosis. The patients differ in nail manifestations and hair colour. No Keratin14 mutation or genomic imbalance at CGHarray could be found in either of them. Although their phenotype overlaps with Naegeli syndrome, dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis, dyskeratosis congenita and poikiloderma Clericuzio type, the differences in ectodermal manifestations, immunological functioning, growth pattern and cognition may indicate the presence of a separate entity.

RESUMO

We describe a four-generation family in whom 5 members show the combination of a large head, ptosis, nasal speech that sometimes goes along with a cleft palate, full cheeks, small mouth, and prominent ears, and who also have learning problems. We evaluated three affected members in detail and found them to have in addition a partial cutaneous syndactyly between the third and fourth fingers, an increased distance between second and third finger, and a decreased smell. We have not been unable to find other patients described in literature with the same combination of features, and suggest this to represent a hitherto unrecognizable entity. Pattern of inheritance is likely to be autosomal dominant.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Intellectual disability affects approximately 1 to 3% of the general population. The etiology is still poorly understood and it is estimated that one-half of the cases are due to genetic factors. Cryptic subtelomeric aberrations have been found in roughly 5 to 7% of all cases. METHODS: We performed a subtelomeric FISH analysis on 76 unrelated children with normal standard karyotype ascertained by developmental delay or intellectual disability, associated with congenital malformations, and/or facial dysmorphisms. RESULTS: Ten cryptic chromosomal anomalies have been identified in the whole cohort (13,16%), 8 in the group of patients characterized by developmental delay or intellectual disability associated with congenital malformations and facial dysmorphisms, 2 in patients with developmental delay or intellectual disability and facial dysmorphisms only. CONCLUSION: We demonstrate that a careful clinical examination is a very useful tool for pre-selection of patients for genomic analysis, clearly enhancing the chromosomal anomaly detection rate. Clinical features of most of these patients are consistent with the corresponding emerging chromosome phenotypes, pointing out these new clinical syndromes associated with specific genomic imbalances.
