Abstract
Introduction: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common type of congenital defect reported to be one of the leading causes of mortality in the first year of life. Microdeletion and microduplication syndromes (MMS) are associated with cardiac malformations. Understanding which genetic factors are involved in these conditions directly impacts treatment decisions. We aimed to identify the occurrence of genetic alterations and their association with MMS in CHD pediatric patients evaluated in a reference service of Southern Brazil.
Methods: Participants were recruited during 2010 in the intensive care unit of a pediatric hospital. MMs and regions of chromosome 22 were screened by SALSA MLPA Probemix P245 Microdeletion Syndromes-1A kit for detection of copy number variations (CNVs).
Results: MMS were detected in 11 from 207 patients (5.3%). Heterozygous deletion in the 22q11.2 chromosome region was the most prevalent CNV (5 from 11 patients). Also, atypical RTDR1 deletion and 22q11.2 duplication were detected. MLPA was able to reveal microdeletions in SNRPN and NF1 genes in patients with a normal karyotype and FISH.
Conclusion: Our study reports the prevalence and variability of genomic alterations associated with MMS in CHD pediatric patients. The results by MLPA are of great help in planning and specialized care.
期刊介绍:
''Molecular Syndromology'' publishes high-quality research articles, short reports and reviews on common and rare genetic syndromes, aiming to increase clinical understanding through molecular insights. Topics of particular interest are the molecular basis of genetic syndromes, genotype-phenotype correlation, natural history, strategies in disease management and novel therapeutic approaches based on molecular findings. Research on model systems is also welcome, especially when it is obviously relevant to human genetics. With high-quality reviews on current topics the journal aims to facilitate translation of research findings to a clinical setting while also stimulating further research on clinically relevant questions. The journal targets not only medical geneticists and basic biomedical researchers, but also clinicians dealing with genetic syndromes. With four Associate Editors from three continents and a broad international Editorial Board the journal welcomes submissions covering the latest research from around the world.
