Clinical Expression of an Inherited Unbalanced Translocation in Chromosome 6

Abstract: Unbalanced chromosomal rearrangements are not common; however, they have a significant clinical expression. The parental balanced translocation produces unbalanced chromosome, which is transmitted to next generation through fertilization of gametes carrying the derivative chromosome. The carriers of balanced rearrangements mostly do not have recognizable phenotypic expression. We report a family comprising of healthy and non-consanguineous young parents and their preemie newborn severely affected with congenit… Show more

“…Apparently constitutional balanced translocations associated with normal phenotypes can be transmitted through generations without major adverse effects, except for an increased risk of reproductive loss or abnormal phenotypes in offspring ( Gribble et al, 2005 ). Phenotypically normal carriers of balanced translocations are at a higher risk of producing offspring with unbalanced translocations with potential outcomes of developmental delay, congenital cardiac defects, urogenital anomalies, respiratory or immune dysfunctions, or facial or skeletal dysmorphias ( Ganguly et al, 2011 ). These carriers of balanced translocations are frequently identified only after recurrences of unbalanced offspring within families.…”
