Abstract
Introduction: Deletions of the interstitial region of chromosome 1q are rare and associated with clinical features including growth restriction, developmental delays, and dysmorphic features. Here, we describe an asymptomatic family with an interstitial 1q31 deletion found incidentally.
Case presentation: A 42-year-old male presented with concerns for colonic polyps and underwent multigene panel analysis for hereditary tumor predisposition syndromes which identified a full-gene deletion of CDC73.
Conclusion: Microarray analysis of peripheral blood DNA showed a 6.9-Mb heterozygous deletion of 1q31.2q32.2 encompassing 33 genes in both proband and daughter. The absence of symptoms, including any autosomal dominant conditions associated with variants in this region, has been identified in only 1 case report while most other cases of 1q31 deletions report a range of clinical presentations. Further description of 1q31 deletions is essential to the development of genotype-phenotype interpretation and to decrease the uncertainty of care recommendations for patients and their families.
期刊介绍:
During the last decades, ''Cytogenetic and Genome Research'' has been the leading forum for original reports and reviews in human and animal cytogenetics, including molecular, clinical and comparative cytogenetics. In recent years, most of its papers have centered on genome research, including gene cloning and sequencing, gene mapping, gene regulation and expression, cancer genetics, comparative genetics, gene linkage and related areas. The journal also publishes key papers on chromosome aberrations in somatic, meiotic and malignant cells. Its scope has expanded to include studies on invertebrate and plant cytogenetics and genomics. Also featured are the vast majority of the reports of the International Workshops on Human Chromosome Mapping, the reports of international human and animal chromosome nomenclature committees, and proceedings of the American and European cytogenetic conferences and other events. In addition to regular issues, the journal has been publishing since 2002 a series of topical issues on a broad variety of themes from cytogenetic and genome research.
