We report on a patient with mental retardation, seizures and tall stature with advanced bone age in whom a de novo apparently balanced chromosomal rearrangement 46,XX,t(X;9)(q12;p13.3) was identified. Using array CGH on flow-sorted derivative chromosomes (array painting) and subsequent FISH and qPCR analysis, we mapped and sequenced both breakpoints. The Xq12 breakpoint was located within the gene coding for oligophrenin 1 (OPHN1) whereas the 9p13.3 breakpoint was assigned to a non-coding segment within a gene dense region. Disruption of OPHN1 by the Xq12 breakpoint was considered the major cause of the abnormal phenotype observed in the proband.
我们报告了一名患有智力发育迟缓、癫痫发作且骨龄超前、身材高大的患者,在该患者中发现了一种新发的明显平衡的染色体重排46,XX,t(X;9)(q12;p13.3)。我们使用基于流式分选衍生染色体的阵列比较基因组杂交(阵列描绘)以及随后的荧光原位杂交和定量聚合酶链反应分析,对两个断点进行了定位和测序。Xq12断点位于编码少突磷脂1(OPHN1)的基因内,而9p13.3断点位于基因密集区域内的一个非编码片段。Xq12断点对OPHN1的破坏被认为是先证者中观察到的异常表型的主要原因。
