A 17-year-old boy who was diagnosed with "Waardenburg syndrome" showed moderate growth and mental retardation. Chromosome analysis showed an apparent interstitial deletion 4q12q21.1. The mother had a direct insertion of the deleted segment into a chromosome 8. The rearrangement was confirmed to be nonreciprocal and an insertion by in situ hybridization using whole chromosome 4 and 8 painting probes. The mother's karyotype is 46,XX,ins(8;4)(q21.2;q12q21.1); that of the propositus is 46,XY, der(4)ins(8;4)(q21.2;q12q21.1)mat. This is the first report of an inherited proximal 4q deletion.
一名被诊断患有“瓦登伯革氏综合征”的17岁男孩表现出中度生长发育迟缓和智力发育迟缓。染色体分析显示明显的4q12q21.1间质性缺失。母亲有一个将缺失片段直接插入8号染色体的情况。通过使用全染色体4和8绘画探针的原位杂交证实该重排是非相互的且为插入。母亲的核型是46,XX,ins(8;4)(q21.2;q12q21.1);先证者的核型是46,XY, der(4)ins(8;4)(q21.2;q12q21.1)mat。这是遗传性近端4q缺失的首例报告。
