Overview
Pleiotropy01:33

Pleiotropy

Pleiotropy is the phenomenon in which a single gene impacts multiple, seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits. For example, defects in the SOX10 gene cause Waardenburg Syndrome Type 4, or WS4, which can cause defects in pigmentation, hearing impairments, and an absence of intestinal contractions necessary for elimination. This diversity of phenotypes results from the expression pattern of SOX10 in early embryonic and fetal development. SOX10 is found in neural crest cells that form melanocytes,...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Molecular Cytogenetics
  • Clinical Genetics

Background:

  • Establishing genotype-phenotype correlations for chromosome deletion syndromes requires detailed molecular-cytogenetic and clinical data.
  • Phenotype maps for subtelomeric deletion syndromes, including terminal deletion 14q syndrome, are still emerging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on five patients with terminal partial monosomy of 14q32.3.
  • To refine the phenotype map for terminal deletion 14q syndrome.
  • To identify a critical region responsible for specific features of the syndrome.

Main Methods:

  • Molecular karyotyping and Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) for deletion size determination.
  • Clinical characterization of patients.
  • Comprehensive literature review.

Main Results:

  • Five patients with terminal partial monosomy 14q32.3 were identified, four with de novo terminal deletions.
  • Minimum deletion sizes ranged from 3.29 to 5.82 Mb.
  • A refined phenotype map for terminal deletion 14q syndrome was established, including intellectual disability, hypotonia, growth retardation, microcephaly, heart defects, genitourinary malformations, and ocular coloboma.
  • A critical region containing seven RefSeq genes was proposed.

Conclusions:

  • Detailed molecular and clinical data are essential for understanding chromosome deletion syndromes.
  • The refined phenotype map aids in diagnosing and managing terminal deletion 14q syndrome.
  • The identified critical region provides insights into the genetic basis of the syndrome's features.
