To explore the molecular mechanism of a girl with developmental delay and intellectual disability.
Chromosomal karotypes of the child and her parents were analyzed with routine G-banding method. Their genomic DNA was also analyzed with array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) for chromosomal duplications/deletions.
No karyotypic abnormality was detected in the child and her parents, while aCGH has identified a de novo 3.37 Mb deletion at 17p11.2 in the child.
The child was diagnosed with Smith-Magenis syndrome, for which RAI1 may be the causative gene.
探讨一名发育迟缓及智力残疾女童的分子机制。
采用常规G显带法分析患儿及其父母的染色体核型。同时采用阵列比较基因组杂交(aCGH)技术分析他们的基因组DNA,以检测染色体的重复/缺失情况。
患儿及其父母的染色体核型未见异常,而aCGH检测发现患儿17p11.2区域存在一个3.37 Mb的新发缺失。
该患儿被诊断为史密斯-马吉尼斯综合征,RAI1基因可能是致病基因。
