Abstract
Introduction: Mosaic double aneuploidy (MDA) defines the presence of two chromosomally distinct cells lines derived from the same zygote arising from early cytogenetic events. MDA for monosomy X and trisomy 18 is a rare occurrence described in only 12 individuals in the medical literature to date.
Case presentation: Here, we present two individuals with MDA of monosomy X and trisomy 18 with a Turner predominant phenotype. Congruent with previous reports, the percentage of aneuploid cells is highly variable in differing tissues, without clear genotype-phenotype associations. Molecular mechanism explored in one individual suggests two independent post-zygotic events lead to this chromosomal constitution.
Conclusion: Given the rarity of this condition and the recognition that early post-zygotic chromosomal aneuploidy events are common, additional reports of individuals with MDA are needed to expand the natural history and improve counseling for families, especially in the prenatal period, as clinical manifestations of either chromosomal condition is possible.
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.
