Molecular karyotyping of an isolated partial trisomy 11q patient with additional findings
Isolated partial duplication of the long arm of chromosome 11 is very rare. The main features are dysmorphic facial features, pre/postnatal growth retardation, speech delay, mental retardation, hypotonia, microcephaly, and cardiac, vertebral, limb and genital anomalies. In this case, we report a pat...

Summary: | Isolated partial duplication of the long arm of chromosome 11 is very rare. The main features are dysmorphic facial features, pre/postnatal growth retardation, speech delay, mental retardation, hypotonia, microcephaly, and cardiac, vertebral, limb and genital anomalies. In this case, we report a patient with partial trisomy of 11q13.5→qter due to a de novo rearrangement consisting of the whole X chromosome and part of chromosome 11; 46,X,der(X)(Xqter→Xp22.33::11q13.5→11qter). Additional findings were a separated clavicle, lacrimal duct stenosis and prenatally detected renal hypoplasia. SNP array results revealed a duplication between 11q13.5 and 11qter, measuring 58Mb, from nucleotide 76,601,607 to 134,926,021. As a result, molecular karyotyping could be performed in such cases in order to establish a definite phenotype–genotype correlation using conventional or molecular cytogenetics techniques.
