Ring chromosome 6 in a malformed boy.

F Salamanca-Gonez, S Nava, S Armendares

    Clinical Genetics
    |November 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    A rare ring chromosome 6 was identified in a malformed infant with intellectual disability. This genetic anomaly was confirmed using G banding analysis, correlating with clinical and autopsy findings.

    Area of Science:

    • * Genetics
    • * Developmental Biology
    • * Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • * Discusses a rare case of chromosomal abnormality in an infant.
    • * Highlights the importance of cytogenetic analysis in diagnosing congenital disorders.

    Observation:

    • * A 6-month-old boy presented with intellectual disability and congenital malformations.
    • * Post-mortem examination revealed specific physical anomalies.

    Findings:

    • * G banding analysis identified a ring chromosome 6 (r(6)) in the patient.
    • * This genetic finding is correlated with the observed clinical and pathological features.

    Implications:

    • * Provides insights into the phenotypic consequences of ring chromosome 6.
    • * Emphasizes the role of cytogenetics in understanding rare genetic syndromes and informing genetic counseling.
