Abstract

A series of 105 children with vesicoureteral reflux into completely duplicated collecting systems was studied retrospectively. Of the children 64% were treated surgically, with two-thirds undergoing an ablative procedure and one-third undergoing common sheath ureteral reimplantation. The remaining 36% of the children were managed nonoperatively and followed for up to 11 years. Among these cases 89% of the kidneys had reflux into the lower pole moiety only and 11% had reflux into the upper and lower pole moieties. The spontaneous rates of reflux resolution were 85% for grades I and II, and 36% for grade III reflux during a median observation period of 40 months. These figures suggest that the spontaneous resolution of mild to moderate reflux into completely duplicated collecting systems is similar to that of identical degrees of single system reflux during a comparable observational period.

De novo proximal duplication of 1(q12q22) in a female infant with multiple congenital anomalies.

Reports of small proximal 1q duplications are rare. We report a 1 month-old female who was referred to clinic because she was believed to have features suggestive of Turner syndrome. The patient's dysmorphic features included a prominent nose, low-set and crumpled ears, slightly high palate, short neck, high-pitched cry, mild micrognathia, hypoplastic labia majora, and somewhat deep palmar creases. Traditional G-band chromosome studies of the patient were interpreted as 46,XX,dup(1)(q12q21). To further evaluate the extent of the chromosome 1 duplication, Spectral Karyotyping and a series of six fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probes were utilized. The FISH probes refined the extent of the duplication to involve the region 1(q12q22) indicating the duplicated segment was larger than interpreted by the G-banding studies. This first case of non-mosaic proximal duplication of 1q to be characterized by multiple locus specific FISH probes should allow a more refined delineation of the phenotypic findings and clinical significance associated with this rare chromosomal duplication.

Long-term follow-up of a 26-year-old male with duplication of 16p: clinical report and review.

We report on a 26-year-old male with profound psychomotor retardation and a pattern of dysmorphic features and malformations characteristic for duplication of the short arm of chromosome 16. He has an elongated face, sparse hair, upslanting palpebral fissures, anteverted nostrils, hypoplastic thumbs on both hands, and dislocation of several joints. His chromosome aberration was diagnosed at birth and was due to an unbalanced segregation of a maternal translocation t(2;16)(q36;p11). At 26 years of age he is, to the best of our knowledge, the oldest patient with duplication of 16p reported to date. We present a long-term observation of growth, psychomotor development, dysmorphic features and evolution of his skeletal and joint defects as well as a review of the literature.
