A ring chromosome 7 was identified in a young girl with microcephaly and developmental delays. This case links ring chromosome 7 to sacral agenesis, a previously undescribed association, via genetic region loss.

Area of Science:

Genetics
Clinical Genetics
Human Genetics

Background:

Ring chromosome 7 is a rare chromosomal abnormality.
Sacral agenesis is often associated with terminal 7q deletions, specifically involving the 7q36 region.
The association between ring chromosome 7 and sacral agenesis has not been previously documented.

Observation:

A 19-month-old female presented with microcephaly, growth and developmental delay, multiple angiomas, and partial sacral agenesis.
High-resolution G-banding and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) were performed.
Genetic analysis revealed a ring chromosome 7.

Findings:

The patient's ring chromosome 7 formation resulted in the loss of the 7q36 region.
This loss explains the presence of sacral agenesis in the patient.

This finding establishes a novel link between ring chromosome 7 and sacral agenesis.

Implications:

This case expands the phenotypic spectrum associated with ring chromosome 7.
It highlights the importance of genetic analysis in understanding complex congenital anomalies.
Further research may elucidate the specific genes within 7q36 responsible for sacral development and their role in ring chromosome disorders.
