CYTOGENETIC DISORDER P.2 Flashcards
2 types of structural anomalies
Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome and Cri-Du-Chat
Individuals with such syndrome are with terminal deletion of the short arm of chromosome 4, del(4)(p16)
Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome
Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome is also known as?
4p Syndrome
This syndrome has microcephaly, frontal bossing, micrognathia, hypotonia, epicanthal folds, and developmental delay
Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome
It has Greek warrior’s facial helmet appearance due to arched eyebrows, prominent glabella, hypertelorism, and long beaked nose
Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome
Individuals with such syndrome have deletion of the short arm of chromosome 5, del(5)(p15)
Cri-Du-Chat
People withy this syndrome present with high-pitched, cat-like cry in infancy, low birth weight, slow growth, hypotonia, microcephaly, hypertelorism, mental retardation, and cardiac anomalies
Cri-Du-Chat
Patients have delayed development and may reach cognitive and social level of a 5 or 6 year-old.
Cri-Du-Chat
Cri-Du-Chat is also known as?
5p Syndrome
fraction of a single chromosome band
Microdeletions
It can maybe enough to be identified by karyotyping, but most may require FISH
Microdeletions
single to several hundred base pair and are identified by molecular technology
Molecular Deletions
those that are due to deletions that encompass several adjacent, unrelated genes resulting in variable phenotypic expression
Contiguous Deletion
deletion of the elastin gene on the proximal long arm of chromosome 7 (7q11.23)
Williams Syndrome
Unequal meiotic crossover → interstitial deletion
Williams Syndrome
present with low IQ with behavioral anomalies and hypersensitivity to sound
Williams Syndrome
they have blue eyes with stellate pattern in the iris
Williams Syndrome
They have prominent lips, hoarse voice, cardiac defects, premature aging skin and hypercalcemia.
Williams Syndrome
This is due to del 8q24.11-q24.13, involving the
TRPSI(Tricorhinophalangeal syndrome 1),
TRPSII(Tricorhinophalangeal syndrome 2), EXT
genes
Langer-Giedion Syndrome
These individuals present with craniofacial
dysmorphism, exostosis (overgrowth of bone),
skeletal abnormalities, mild to severe mental
deficiency
Langer-Giedion Syndrome
They have fine scalp hair, large and prominent ears
and missing teeth
Langer-Giedion Syndrome
