Balanced de novo non-robertsonian translocations (non-RTs), which involve acrocentric chromosomes, are rare findings in clinical cytogenetics and may be associated with an abnormal phenotype. These translocations, detected by conventional karyotyping, are found in approximately 1:1,000 neonates. In most of these cases, one of the parents carries the same translocation. In this study, we report a rare non-RT involving chromosomes 15 and 22 defined as 45, XX, -22,der(15;22)t(15;22)/46, XX, der(15)t(15;22),der(22). To our knowledge, this is the first report of a non-RT t(15;22) with these breakpoints.
平衡性新生非罗伯逊易位(非RTs)涉及近端着丝粒染色体,在临床细胞遗传学中是罕见发现,可能与异常表型相关。通过传统核型分析检测到的这些易位,在大约每1000名新生儿中出现1例。在大多数此类病例中,父母一方携带相同的易位。在本研究中,我们报告了一例罕见的涉及15号和22号染色体的非RT,定义为45, XX, -22,der(15;22)t(15;22)/46, XX, der(15)t(15;22),der(22)。据我们所知,这是首次报道具有这些断点的非RT t(15;22)。
