Uniparental disomy (UPD) is a rare genetic abnormality. During a whole genome linkage study we identified a case of paternal uniparental isodisomy 3 serendipitously. This is the first ascertained human paternal UPD for chromosome 3 (UPD3pat). The finding of this paternal UPD case of the entire chromosome 3 with no apparent phenotypic disorders suggests that there are no paternal imprinted genes causing rare genetic disorders on chromosome 3.
单亲二体(UPD)是一种罕见的基因异常。在一项全基因组连锁研究中,我们意外地鉴定出一例父源单亲同二体3。这是首例经确认的人类3号染色体父源单亲二体(UPD3pat)。这例整个3号染色体的父源单亲二体病例未出现明显的表型异常,这表明3号染色体上不存在导致罕见遗传病的父源印记基因。
