Abstract:
Terminal deletions of chromosome 14q are very rarely reported. Schneider et al. (2008) reviewed about 20 cases of 14q32 region deletion in a previous article and only three of the cases involved autosomal translocations; however, no sex chromosome translocations were reported. Here we report the clinical findings of a patient with terminal 14q32 deletion derivated from at (Y;14)(q12;q32) translocation.

When the tumor suppressor genes develop mutations or are lost, cells start growing out of control, leading to cancer. However, a single functional copy of the tumor suppressor gene is enough for the cells to maintain their normal functions and cell...
