We report the case of a female patient exhibiting multiple congenital malformations including diaphragmatic hernia and heart defect. Cytogenetic studies (including karyotype, FISH and array-CGH) showed a de novo terminal deletion (6.9 Mb) on chromosome 15 in association with a recombinant X chromosome bearing a 9-Mb Xp duplication and a 46-Mb Xq deletion distal to XIST. The recombinant X chromosome was caused by a maternal inv(X)(p22.31q22.3). The X chromosome inactivation pattern was skewed in the patient suggesting a possible inactivation of the recombinant X chromosome. Considering these results, the phenotype was linked to the de novo terminal 15q deletion. These results strengthen the assumption that array-CGH should be applied to each fetus/newborn with multiple congenital malformations.
我们报告了一例患有多种先天性畸形(包括膈疝和心脏缺陷)的女性患者。细胞遗传学研究(包括核型分析、荧光原位杂交和比较基因组杂交芯片分析)显示,15号染色体存在一个新生的末端缺失(6.9 Mb),同时伴有一条重组X染色体,该染色体带有一个9 Mb的Xp重复和一个位于XIST远端的46 Mb的Xq缺失。该重组X染色体是由母亲的X染色体倒位inv(X)(p22.31q22.3)引起的。患者的X染色体失活模式偏向一侧,提示重组X染色体可能失活。考虑到这些结果,该表型与新生的15q末端缺失有关。这些结果强化了这样一种假设,即对于每一个患有多种先天性畸形的胎儿/新生儿都应进行比较基因组杂交芯片分析。
