Trisomy 16q23?qter arising from a maternal t(13;16)(p12;q23): case report and evidence of the reciprocal balanced maternal rearrangement by the Ag-NOR technique

Abstract: We describe a female new-born with partial trisomy of the long arm of chromosome 16. The chromosome anomaly was the result of an unbalanced segregation of a maternal translocation t(13;16)(p12;q23). Dynamic (RBG, GBG) banding and the Ag-NOR technique ascertained the reciprocal balanced maternal translocation between the 16q23----qter and 13q12----pter segments because nucleolar organizers were present on the tip of long arms of the derivative 16 maternal chromosome. As monosomy 13p has little or no deleterious… Show more

“…To the best of our knowledge, trisomy 16q23-qter is the smallest so far described without associated monosomies. 22 This patient presented with hypotonia and dysmorphic features (a high forehead, a small and narrow nose with a depressed nasal bridge, and hypertelorism), only a few of which are shown by our patient. The proband carried also a paternally derived chromosome 2 benign variant , consisting in a deletion in the 2q subtelomeric region, which has been reported as the most frequent telomeric polymorphism affecting *5% of the population.…”

“…Muscular hypotonia, recurrent infections, periorbital edema, bitemporal narrowing, a broad/flat nasal bridge, and a high arched palate were seen in half of them. This emerging phenotype overlaps significantly with the better-known clinical picture of large, ''pure'' trisomies 16q (breakpoints 16q11, 16q21, and 16q23, [Savary et al, 1991]): For example, cardiac defects, muscular hypotonia, periorbital edema as well as small, upslanting palpebral fissures have been reported both in cryptic and large partial trisomies 16q. Only few features (e.g., hypertelorism) have only been reported in the larger imbalances.…”

“…Children who have survived after this age are considered to have a good life expectancy [Ono et al, 1996]. Pure 16q trisomy can be an early death cause; main features include a low birth weight, failure to thrive, hypotonia, intellectual disability, congenital heart disease, urogenital and anal anomalies, limb anomalies and joint contractures, facial dysmorphism with a high prominent forehead, downslanting and small palpebral fissures, hypertelorism, periorbital edema, low-set and abnormal ears, prominent nose, micrognathia [Savary et al, 1991;Masuno et al, 2000;Brisset et al, 2002;Chen et al, 2004].…”
