Abstract
Background: Patients with deletions involving the long arm of chromosome 1 are rare. The PBX1 gene is located on chromosome 1q23.3. PBX1 encodes a transcription factor which promotes protein-protein interaction and plays a crucial role in several developmental processes. PBX1 haploinsufficiency had been reported to lead syndromic congenital anomalies of kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) in humans.
Case presentation: In this research, a 24-year-old woman (gravida 1, para 0) underwent amniocentesis at 22 weeks' gestation because of a horseshoe kidney of the fetus on prenatal ultrasound.
Results: Chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) from this family revealed a 1.14 Mb paternal inherited deletion on chromosome 1q23.3, spanning from position 163,620,000 to 164,760,000 (hg19). Trio whole-exome sequencing (WES) showed heterozygous deletions in exons 1-2 of the PBX1 in fetal and paternal samples. At the 3-year follow-up, the baby did not have an abnormal phenotype except a horseshoe kidney.
Conclusion: We provide a detailed description of the phenotype in a family with paternal inherited deletion of 1q23.3 encompassing exons 1-2 of the PBX1 gene. Combination of karyotype analysis, CMA, WES, prenatal ultrasound and genetic counseling is helpful for the prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal microdeletions/microduplications.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Cytogenetics encompasses all aspects of chromosome biology and the application of molecular cytogenetic techniques in all areas of biology and medicine, including structural and functional organization of the chromosome and nucleus, genome variation, expression and evolution, chromosome abnormalities and genomic variations in medical genetics and tumor genetics.
Molecular Cytogenetics primarily defines a large set of the techniques that operate either with the entire genome or with specific targeted DNA sequences. Topical areas include, but are not limited to:
-Structural and functional organization of chromosome and nucleus-
Genome variation, expression and evolution-
Animal and plant molecular cytogenetics and genomics-
Chromosome abnormalities and genomic variations in clinical genetics-
Applications in preimplantation, pre- and post-natal diagnosis-
Applications in the central nervous system, cancer and haematology research-
Previously unreported applications of molecular cytogenetic techniques-
Development of new techniques or significant enhancements to established techniques.
This journal is a source for numerous scientists all over the world, who wish to improve or introduce molecular cytogenetic techniques into their practice.
