Mosaic and non-mosaic trisomy 15q2.

E Orye, G Laureys, H Verhaaren

    Annales De Genetique
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Mosaicism and trisomy 15q2 were identified in two patients due to complex chromosomal rearrangements. These findings highlight novel mechanisms of chromosome 15 duplication and potential genetic implications.

    Area of Science:

    • Human Genetics
    • Cytogenetics
    • Molecular Biology

    Background:

    • Chromosomal abnormalities, including aneuploidy and rearrangements, are critical in human development and disease.
    • Chromosome 15 harbors genes associated with various genetic disorders, making its structural integrity crucial.

    Observation:

    • Two unrelated patients presented with distinct chromosomal anomalies involving chromosome 15.
    • The first patient exhibited mosaicism with normal cells and cells trisomic for chromosome 15q2.
    • The second patient showed trisomy 15q2 resulting from a maternal balanced translocation.

    Findings:

    • The 15q2 trisomy in the first patient arose from an unbalanced translocation involving chromosomes 14 and 15 (14pter----14q32::15q22----15qter).
    • In the second case, trisomy 15q2 was attributed to a maternal balanced translocation t(7;15)(p22;q15).

    Implications:

    • These cases illustrate complex mechanisms leading to partial trisomy 15q, expanding the understanding of chromosomal instability.
    • Identifying these rearrangements is vital for accurate genetic diagnosis, counseling, and understanding genotype-phenotype correlations in affected individuals.
