Chromosome Structural Abnormalities Flashcards
Pallister Killian syndrome is caused by ?
Isochromosome 12p (tetrasomy 12p mosaicism)
_______ rearrangements/breakpoints occur in unrelated families
Recurrent
__________rearrangements/breakpoints occur in families
random
The ___________ is the first person in the family to have the rearrangement (balanced or unbalanced)
proband
Of all rearrangements, ______________ are the most common
translocations (txl)
________% of the population has a translocation
0.1% (to 0.14%)
Balanced de novo translocations have a ______% risk of symptoms
6-9%
Balanced de novo translocations (1 in 500) occur in meiosis ___________ of _____________ (gamete)
meiosis I
sperm
Three tests for translocations
karyotype (3-5 MB)
FISH
CMA (200 KB to 20 KB)
Chromosomes for Robertsonian translocations
13, 14, 15, 21, 22 and Y
There are two types of translocations.
1. ____________ in which two ends of chromosomes exchange segments.
2. ____________ exchange of p arms of acrocentric chromosomes.
- Reciprocal
- Robertsonian
___________ structure is where the homologs of the translocated chromosomes all try to pair in meiosis I
Tetravalent
In translocations and quadrivalent structures during meiosis I, __________ segregation leads to balanced chromosomes while ______________ segregation leads to unbalanced chromosomes
alternate
adjacent
First recognized recurrent translocation in humans
t(11;22)(q23.3;q11.2) -
47 chroms, 3:1 segregation = Emmanuel syndrome
t(11;22)(q23.3;q11.2) with 3:1 segregation (Chr 11, Chr 22, der(22))
Emmanuel syndrome
