- Title
Trisomy of medial 15q as result of an analphoid supernumerary ring chromosome detected by CGH and FISH.

- Abstract
We report a 21-year-old patient with a de novo mosaic, analphoid ring of chromosome 15q22.2→q24.1. The clinical features of this patient are mild and include tall stature, obesity, striae distensae in the hypogastrium, malocclusion and bilateral gynecomastia with scarce glandular tissue. M-FISH and FISH using a chromosome 15 painting probe indicated that the ring is of chromosome 15 origin. Further CGH analysis and FISH with the PML locus-specific probe demonstrated that the extra material derived from the medial part of the long arm of chromosome 15, including two bands, q22 and q23. Additionally, FISH with BAC probes specific for 15q allowed for a localization of the breakpoints at 15q22.2 and 15q24.1, distal to clones RP11-30M4 and RP11-500O23 respectively. We discuss the relationship between the patient’s genotype and phenotype comparing it to reported cases of trisomy of medial 15q. Copyright © 2007 S. Karger AG, Basel
