A new unbalanced chromosomal abnormality in 1q31.1 to 1q32 without phenotypic consequences
1Institute of Human Genetics and Anthropology, Friedrich Schiller University, Jena, Germany.
Abstract:
A familial duplication in the long arm of one chromosome 1 was detected due to recurrent abortions in a couple. The duplication was present in the male partner of the couple and in his mother, both clinically healthy. By reverse FISH, the duplication was determined to be located in 1q31. Multicolor banding (MCB) and application of locus-specific probes narrowed down the breakpoints to 1q31.1 and 1q32. The duplication spans a region of 13.9 Mb. None of the two breakpoints was colocalized with a known fragile site in 1q31.2, which, however, was duplicated. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of an unbalanced chromosome abnormality in this region that is not correlated with any clinical consequences.
