A liveborn female with a phenotype suggestive of Down syndrome is reported. Cytogenetic lymphocyte analysis showed a 46,X der(X) karyotype. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with a biotinylated probe specific for chromosome 21 showed no signal on the der(X). This marker was homogeneously painted using a specific probe for X chromosome. In addition, FISH analysis detected telomeres on the rearranged X. Therefore, the proband's karyotype was reevaluated as 46,X,del(X) (pter-->p22.2::p11.3-->qter). Cytogenetic analysis of 150 lymphocytes in the mother disclosed a homogeneous 45,X karyotype. FISH analysis of interphase nuclei using the X chromosome painting probe showed two domains of different sizes in 0.8% of cells. This led us to study further metaphases in the mother. In one out of 450 metaphases scored, after FISH with the X chromosome painting probe, the del(X) was observed, confirming that the rearranged X chromosome found in the newborn had segregated from a 45,X/46,X,del(X) mother.
报道了一名活产女婴,其表型提示唐氏综合征。细胞遗传学淋巴细胞分析显示核型为46,X,der(X)。用针对21号染色体的生物素化探针进行荧光原位杂交(FISH),在der(X)上未显示信号。使用针对X染色体的特异性探针将该标记均匀涂染。此外,FISH分析在重排的X染色体上检测到端粒。因此,先证者的核型重新评估为46,X,del(X)(pter→p22.2::p11.3→qter)。对母亲的150个淋巴细胞进行细胞遗传学分析,发现其核型为均一的45,X。使用X染色体涂染探针进行间期核FISH分析,在0.8%的细胞中显示出两个大小不同的区域。这促使我们进一步研究母亲的中期染色体。在计数的450个中期染色体中,用X染色体涂染探针进行FISH后,在其中一个中观察到del(X),证实新生儿中发现的重排X染色体来自45,X/46,X,del(X)的母亲。
