De novo inverted duplication 9p21pter involving telomeric repeated sequences

Abstract: We report on clinical and cytogenetic findings in a boy with partial 9p duplication, dup(9)(p21pter). Clinical manifestations included facial and hand anomalies and mental retardation. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) were used to characterize further and confirm the conventional banding data. Investigation by FISH using whole chromosome 9 paint probe showed that the additional material was derived from chromosome 9. Using CGH, a region of gain was found in … Show more

“…However, in the previous cases, the investigators did not specifically look for such repeat sequences. Actually, interstitial telomeres were found in a 9p duplication [26] but not in 12 terminal duplications involving diverse chromosomes [27]. In contrast, interstitial telomeric and/or subtelomeric sequences have been detected in both triplications alluded to in previous studies [7,8], in a tandem 15q telomeric translocation [28], as well as in 9/21 (43%) translocations and rings concerning chromosomes other than chromosome number 15 [29].…”

“…21 Rearrangements of chromosome 9 do not show site-specific breakpoints. [22][23][24][25][26] Therefore, NHEJ seems to be the most likely mechanism for rearrangements of chromosome 9p. 27 In silico sequence analysis of chromosomes 5 and 9 showed the existence in the breakpoint region 5p13.3 of L1PA2, a LINE sequence with homology with L1PA3 in the breakpoint regions in 9p13.3 and in 9p22.1 and with L1PA7 in 9p22.1.…”

“…Duplications of 9p segments have been frequently reported since Rethoré et al [1970] first described the associated syndrome. They were mostly inherited rearrangements, but a few of them were de novo 9p tandem duplications, as recently described by Fujimoto et al [1998], Sanlaville et al [1999], Franchi et al [2000], Kotzot et al [2000], and Tsezou et al [2000].…”
