| Abstrakt: | Objective: To explore the genetic characteristics of a child with 18q terminal deletion syndrome. Methods: Clinical data of a child presented at the Lianyungang Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital on July 20, 2023 was collected. Peripheral blood sample from the child was subjected to G-banded chromosomal karyotyping and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). Relevant literature was searched from CNKI, WanFang and PubMed databases over the past decade (from November 1, 2013 to November 1, 2023) using keywords including "18q-syndrome", "18q deletion syndrome" and "18q terminal deletion". This study was approved by the Lianyungang Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital (Ethics No. LYG-MER2021017). Results: The child, a 4-year-and-6-month-old female, had manifested short stature, intellectual disability, distinctive facial features, aortic regurgitation, auditory canal atresia, and white matter lesions. She was found to have a karyotype of 46,XX,del(18)(q21), whilst the result of CMA was arr[GRCh37]18q21.33q23(60065821_77317445)×1. Both of her parents were found to have a normal karyotype. Literature review has retrieved 7 reports which involved 11 cases with a terminal 18q23 deletion. The phenotypes of cardiac abnormalities have been diverse, with pulmonary stenosis, atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect being most common. Conclusion: The 18q terminal deletion probably underlay the multiple congenital anomalies and mental retardation in this child. |
