Fetuses with RAA frequently have good outcomes after birth. However, chromosomal abnormalities and genetic syndromes suggest poor prognosis for these patients.

Tetralogy of Fallot (n = 10) and persistent left superior vena cava (n = 11) are the most common ICA and ECA, respectively.

From five cases further undergoing WES, a diagnostic variant in MTOR gene (c.7255G > A, de novo) was first reported in prenatal, extending the prenatal manifestation of Smith-Kingsmore syndrome (OMIM: 616638); a clinically relevant variant c.3407A > T in STAG2 was identified, being inherited from the healthy mother.

The study of apparently balanced chromosomal rearrangements (BCRs) is a cytogenetic strategy used to identify candidate genes associated with Mendelian diseases or abnormal phenotypes.

However, the deletions observed in MSS remove a topological associated domain (TAD) boundary separating SULF1 and SLCO5A1. Hence, Mesomelia-Synostoses syndrome is either caused by haploinsufficiency of SULF1 or ectopic enhancer effects where skeletal/chrondrogenic SULF1 enhancers drive excopic expression of developmental genes in adjacent TADs including PRDM14, NCOA2 and/or EYA1.</p>","PeriodicalId":19099,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Cytogenetics","volume":"17 1","pages":"15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11241779/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141590920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite improved outcomes of these children, the survival rate after relapse is extremely poor. Moreover, the survivors must also endure the acute and long-term effects of intensive therapy. Although recent studies have identified a number of recurrent genomic aberrations in pediatric T-ALL, none of the changes is known to have prognostic significance. The aim of our study was to analyze the cytogenomic changes and their various combinations in bone marrow cells of children with T-ALL and to correlate our findings with the clinical features of the subjects and their treatment responses.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>We performed a retrospective and prospective comprehensive cytogenomic analysis of consecutive cohort of 66 children (46 boys and 20 girls) with T-ALL treated according to BFM-based protocols and centrally investigated cytogenetics and immunophenotypes. Using combinations of cytogenomic methods (conventional cytogenetics, FISH, mFISH/mBAND, arrayCGH/SNP and MLPA), we identified chromosomal aberrations in vast majority of patients (91%). The most frequent findings involved the deletion of CDKN2A/CDKN2B genes (71%), T-cell receptor (TCR) loci translocations (27%), and TLX3 gene rearrangements (23%). All chromosomal changes occurred in various combinations and were rarely found as a single abnormality. Children with aberrations of TCR loci had a significantly better event free (p = 0.0034) and overall survival (p = 0.0074), all these patients are living in the first complete remission. None of the abnormalities was an independent predictor of an increased risk of relapse.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>We identified a subgroup of patients with TCR aberrations (both TRA/TRD and TRB), who had an excellent prognosis in our cohort with 5-year EFS and OS of 100%, regardless of the presence of other abnormality or the translocation partner.
