We report the clinical and laboratory data of 2 patients with different rearrangements involving the short arm of chromosome 18, one with an isochromosome 18p (tetrasomy 18p) and the other with an 18p deletion (monosomy 18p by translocation t(15;18)). Based on molecular cytogenetic findings including high-resolution SNP array, FISH, and multiplex fluorescence PCR, we compared the clinical phenotypes of the 2 patients with other reported patients with 18p deletion, trisomy 18, and isochromosome 18p syndromes to obtain genotype/phenotype correlations. Our findings suggest that a partial monosomy 18p has the better clinical outcome than a tetrasomy 18p.
我们报告了2例涉及18号染色体短臂不同重排患者的临床和实验室数据,其中1例为18号染色体短臂等臂染色体(18p四体),另1例为18p缺失(通过t(15;18)易位导致18p单体)。基于包括高分辨率SNP阵列、荧光原位杂交(FISH)和多重荧光PCR在内的分子细胞遗传学研究结果,我们将这2例患者的临床表型与其他已报道的18p缺失、18三体和18号染色体短臂等臂染色体综合征患者进行了比较,以获得基因型/表型相关性。我们的研究结果表明,部分18p单体的临床预后比18p四体更好。
