Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance02:30

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance

36.5K
Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.
The expression of some genes depends on which parent passed the gene to the offspring, through a phenomenon known as...

Gene Duplication and Divergence

7.7K
The seminal work of Ohno in 1970 popularized the idea of gene duplication and divergence. DNA sequence comparison studies reveal that a large portion of the genes in bacteria, archaebacteria, and eukaryotes was  generated by gene duplication and divergence, indicating its critical role in evolution.
The duplicated copies of the gene are called Paralogs. Paralogs with similar sequences and functions form a gene family. Across several species, a large number of gene families are...

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

18.5K
Sequencing of the human genome has opened up several best-kept secrets of the genome. Scientists have identified thousands of genome variations that exist within a population. These variations can be a single nucleotide or a larger chromosomal variation.
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...

Pathophysiology of Diabetes01:20

Pathophysiology of Diabetes

2.9K
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. The four categories of diabetes are type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, other specific types of diabetes, and gestational diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...

Meiosis I01:49

Meiosis I

216.6K
Meiosis is a carefully orchestrated set of cell divisions, the goal of which—in humans—is to produce haploid sperm or eggs, each containing half the number of chromosomes present in somatic cells elsewhere in the body. Meiosis I is the first such division, and involves several key steps, among them: condensation of replicated chromosomes in diploid cells; the pairing of homologous chromosomes and their exchange of information; and finally, the separation of homologous chromosomes by...

Summary

Transient neonatal diabetes mellitus (TNDM) linked to chromosome 6q24 can involve larger genetic duplications. Further genetic testing is crucial for identifying these larger duplications and improving developmental outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Endocrinology
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Chromosome 6q24-related transient neonatal diabetes mellitus (TNDM) is a genetic disorder characterized by intrauterine growth restriction, low birth weight, and neonatal hyperglycemia.
  • This condition arises from overexpression of the 6q24 imprinted region, typically due to duplication, uniparental disomy, or abnormal methylation.
  • Current diagnostic methods focus on methylation patterns at 6q24 but may miss broader chromosomal abnormalities.

Observation:

  • A female infant presented with neonatal hyperglycemia, later diagnosed with a paternally inherited duplication at 6q24.
  • At 15 months, she exhibited developmental delay and balance issues.
  • Microarray analysis revealed an extended 14 Mb duplication from 6q24 to 6q25.2, indicating duplication 6q syndrome.

Findings:

  • The patient's initial diagnosis of TNDM due to 6q24 duplication was refined by identifying a larger 6q24-6q25.2 duplication.
  • This larger duplication was associated with significant developmental delays, suggesting a more complex genetic etiology than initially presumed.
  • Targeted methylation-specific multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) analysis was key in identifying the specific duplication.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the necessity of comprehensive genetic evaluation beyond standard methylation analysis for 6q24-related TNDM.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis of larger chromosomal duplications is vital for appropriate management and intervention.
  • Prompt identification of genetic causes can significantly improve developmental trajectories and long-term health outcomes for affected children.
