Inverted tandem ("mirror") duplications in human chromosomes: -nv dup 8p, 4q, 22q.

We have studied 4 patients with inverted tandem duplications of parts of chromosomes, a hitherto rarely identified form of a structural rearrangement involving a single chromosome in man. In patients 1 and 2, the duplication involved parts of the short arm of chromosome 8 (regions 8p12 leads to 8p23 and 8p21 leads to 8p23, respectively). Both patients manifested certain characteristics of the mosaic trisomy 8 syndrome. Elevated levels of glutathione reductase (GSR) in their erythrocytes supported the interpretation of a partial duplication of chromosome 8 and indicated a regional localization for the GSR gene locus. In Partient 3, the distal half of the long arm of chromosome 4 was duplicated (region 4q23 leads to 4q35). Clinical evidence supported this interpretation, as Patient 3 resembled phenotypically the 13 reported cases with duplication of the distal 4q. The cytogenetic findings in Patient 4 suggested a possibly inverted duplication of 22q. The clinical correlation was less convincing due to the lack of a well-defined phenotype for trisomy 22. These chromosome aberrations had occurred de novo in all 4 cases. Although they involved different chromosomal regions, they might well have arisen by the same mechanism. Possible modes of origin that are discussed in detail include unequal exchange between homologous chromosomes, between chromatids of 1 chromosome or between strands of 1 DNA duplex.

Terminal 22q deletion associated with a partial deficiency of arylsulphatase A.

A 7 month old girl with psychomotor retardation, hypotonia, and minor malformations was found to have a terminal deletion of the long arm of chromosome 22, del(22)(q13.31). The partial deficiency of arylsulphatase A (ARSA) and the normal level of NADH diaphorase 1 (DIA1) suggests that the ARSA locus can be regionally assigned to 22q13.31----qter and the DIA1 locus can be excluded from the same segment. This report is the third published case with a terminal 22q deletion.

Chromosome band analysis in 19 cases of chronic myeloid leukemia: 9 chronic, 10 blastic, two with Ph1 (22q-) translocation on 17 short arm.

The results of Giemsa band analyses of the marrow cells of 19 cases of CML in the chronic or blast phase are reported. All but one of the 14 Ph1 positive cases showed the 9q+pattern, the exceptional one being 16p+. All 10 blast cases showed additional rearrangements, which are described. In two of the cases, one blastic, one chronic, which were -22, Ph1 negative, the 22q- member was identified as a translocation on the short arm of one 17 which was dicentric.

[Translocation 11q;22q: a clinico-cytogenetic study].

Seven families with translocations t(11; 22) identified at our Institute and analysis of the literature showed that the imbalance resulted from such translocations is always due to nondisjunction 3:1. Nondisjunction occurs more often in the 1st meiotic division, and is more rare in the second one. Expressed prezygotic selection against spermia with an additional chromosome greatly increases the risk of having an imbalanced child for the women-carriers as compared to men-carriers. The phenotype of the patients with +der(22)t(11; 22) is composed of the features characteristic for trisomy 22q (cleft lip and palate, preauricular papillomas and fistulas, rectal atresia or stenosis) and trisomy 11q (long philtrum with the upper lip hanging over, renal al; asia and hypoplasia). Diaphragmatic hernias are found to be common for the patients with +der(22)t(11; 22).

Partial trisomy 22q with elevated arylsulfatase-A activity.

A two years-old, severely mentally retarded male is reported with 22q trisomy. After the recent confirmation of the localisation of arylsulfatase-A (ARSA) on chromosome 22, the elevated activity of this enzyme (about 1,5 times the normal values) in the present patient may be another example of a gene dosage effect in autosomal imbalance.

Molecular analysis of a partial deletion of 22q in a central nervous system rhabdoid tumor.

We previously reported the non-random occurrence of monosomy 22 in rhabdoid or atypical teratoid tumors of the brain in three young children. We now present cytogenetic and molecular studies of an additional rhabdoid tumor with the karyotype 46,XX,-9,-22,+i(1q),+der(22)t(9;22)(p13;q11)/45,XX,-9,-10,- 22,+i(1q),+der(22)t(9;22)(p13;q11). These studies further demonstrate the involvement of chromosome 22, and they begin to define the critical region containing a gene or genes involved in the development or progression of rhabdoid tumors of the brain.

Loss of heterozygosity for distal markers on 22q in human gliomas.

Loss of constitutional heterozygosity as determined through the analysis of restriction-fragment-length polymorphism (RFLP) on tumoral and constitutional DNA has proven to be helpful to delimit the location of tumor-suppressor genes in the human genome. In malignant gliomas this approach indicates that chromosomes 9p, 10, 17p, and 22 may contain genes of this category involved in its origin and/or progression. Regarding chromosome 22, the data so far provided by molecular studies confirmed those previously reported by cytogenetic studies, suggesting the existence of a sub-group of malignant gliomas characterized by monosomy of this chromosome. However, the precise location of the putative glioma suppressor gene on chromosome 22 remains ambiguous. We have performed a combined cytogenetic and RFLP study on a series of 31 gliomas, looking for structural abnormalities of this chromosome. In 3 instances, terminal deletions of the long arm of chromosome 22 were observed by both methodologies, suggesting that the band q13 region distal to the D22S80 marker might be the critical domain non-randomly involved in tumor suppression of gliomas.

A familial F/G translocation [t(p-; 22q+)] observed in three generations.

A family is described in which a translocation between chromosomes 20 and 22 has been observed in three generations. Two first cousins with remarkably similar malformations and mental retardation have identical karyotypes which, after chromosome banding, were interpreted as partially trisomic for the short arm of chromosome No. 20.

Partial trisomy 7p associated with familial 7p;22q translocation.

A newly described partial trisomy of the short arm of chromosome number 7 is reported in a familial translocation between 7 and 22. The unbalanced translocation was found in one family member, the propositus, and the balanced form in 5 other members. The possibility of this translocation being a rare telomeric attachment previously undescribed in humans is discussed. Prominent clinical features include general mental and motor retardation, microbrachycephaly, and cardiac and oral abnormalities.

A case of acute myeloblastic leukemia with Ph1 chromosome showing translocation 9q+;22q-.

Cytogenetic studies of the bone marrow and peripheral blood with the quinacrine fluorescence banding technique in a patient with the clinical diagnosis of acute myeloblastic leukemia revealed the Philadelphia chromosome due to a translocation between chromosomes 22 and 9. He had been exposed to the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, and some hours after the exposure he wandered into the hypocenter.

Loss of heterozygosity on the long arm of chromosome 22 in pheochromocytoma.

To identify the putative common deleted region on the long arm of chromosome 22 in pheochromocytoma, restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis was performed in 17 pheochromocytomas. All cases were heterozygous for at least one of the eight marker loci on 22q. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) was observed in nine pheochromocytomas, of which eight were hereditary and one nonhereditary. Three pheochromocytomas had interstitial deletions that enabled us to localize the commonly deleted region as distal to D22S10 and proximal to D22S22. Hereditary pheochromocytoma frequently occurs in association with medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). Therefore, we also studied allelic loss on 22q in 23 hereditary MTCs. Only one of the MTCs showed LOH on 22q. Recent studies have mapped tumor suppressor loci associated with meningioma and neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) to 22q. The commonly deleted region in pheochromocytoma found by us encompasses the regions to which tumor suppressor genes associated with NF2 and meningioma have been mapped. The exact role of the pheochromocytoma tumor suppressor gene on 22q and its relationship to the suppressor genes involved in NF2 and meningioma remain unknown.

Ph-positive chronic myeloid leukemia with loss of the segment distal to M-bcr.

We describe a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and a 22q- but no 9q+ chromosome. Southern blot analysis showed a BCR rearrangement. The patient soon developed profound and superficial thrombophlebitis in arms and legs and died from pulmonary embolisation 15 days after diagnosis. Five CML cases with a deletion of 22q but no known translocation of 22q11----qter have been described earlier. The present patient is the first such case, however, in whom a BCR rearrangement has been demonstrated.

Abnormalities of chromosome 22 in meningiomas and confirmation of the origin of a dicentric 22 by in situ hybridization.

We report three cases of meningioma. Case 1 had a dicentric chromosome number 22 resulting in partial monosomy for a portion of the q-arm, i.e., 46,XX,idic(22)(pter-->q11.2::q11.2-->pter) and 46,XX,psu dic(22)(pter-->q11.2::q11.2-->pter), which was the sole clonal abnormality. The origin of the dicentric chromosome from 22 was confirmed by in situ hybridization studies, using biotin-labeled alpha centromeric DNA probes for the acrocentric chromosomes. Case 2 had two distinct clonal abnormalities: deletion of 22q and monosomy of 22. Case 3 also had a deleted 22q.
