Linkage relationship between incontinentia pigmenti (IP2) and nine terminal X long arm markers.

Linkage data for familial incontinentia pigmenti (IP2) and nine X chromosomal markers are reported. Previously found linkage between IP2 and the DXS52 locus is confirmed with the maximum lod score of 6.19 at a recombination fraction of 0.03. Linkage is also established with loci DXS134, DXS15 and DXS33. Multipoint analysis allows us to localize the IP2 locus outside a block of seven linked markers of the Xq28 region.

Distal trisomy 14q. I. Clinical and cytogenetical studies.

Two cases of de novo duplication of the distal part of the long arm of chromosome 14 are reported. In one case, the partial trisomy of 14q is due to translocation of a segment (14q24 to 14qter) at the end of the satellite stalk of chromosome 14. The clinical picture is very severe. In the second case, a tandem duplication in 14 (q23----q32) is present with only minor malformations and mild mental retardation.

Linkage studies do not confirm the cytogenetic location of incontinentia pigmenti on Xp11.

Linkage studies have been performed in 5 incontinentia pigmenti (IP) families totaling 29 potentially informative meioses. Ten probes of the Xp arm were used, six of them were precisely localized on the X chromosome, using hamster X human somatic cell hybrids containing a broken X chromosome derived from an incontinentia pigmenti patient carrying an X;9 translocation [46,XX,t(X;9)(p11.21;q34)]. The following order for probes is proposed: pter - (DXS7, DXS146, DXS255) - IP1 - (DXS14, DXS90) - DXS106 - qter. The negative lod scores obtained exclude the possibility that in the families studied, the gene for IP is located in Xp11 or in the major part of the Xp arm.

[Lethal syndromes with thin bones].

The authors report six cases from six different families of lethal brittle bone disease with narrow diaphyses and thin ribs. This phenotype should be dissociated from the lethal forms of osteogenesis imperfecta and encompass two diseases. In the first, autosomal recessive, the metaphyses of long bones are narrow, with a membranous ossification, without cartilagenous residue. Cultured fibroblasts demonstrate a marked increase in type V collagen. In the second type, the metaphyses are enlarged and the babies have a facial dysmorphism with hypoplasia of the eyebrows, frontal bossing and a small mouth.

[Neonatal form of isovaleric acidemia. Apropos of a new case].

The case reported concerns a 18 day-old girl who was hospitalized for severe toxemia. The nauseous smell, and significant ketonuria led us to suspect a disorder in amino-acids metabolism. Diagnosis was proven by gas chromatography. With adequate diet, evolution was favourable and the child had a normal psycho-motor development.
