Popis: | Directly transmitted unbalanced chromosomal abnormalities (UBCA) or euchromatic variants (EV) were recently reported for >50 euchromatic regions of almost all human autosomes. UBCA and EV are comprised of a few megabases of DNA, and carriers are in many cases clinically healthy. Here we report on partial trisomies of chromosome 10 within the pericentromeric region which were detected by standard G banding. Those were referred for further delineation of the size of these duplicated regions for molecular cytogenetics and/or array-CGH. Partial trisomies of chromosome 10 in the pericentromeric region were identified prenatally in seven cases. A maximum of three copies of the region from 10p12.1 to 10q11.22 was observed in all cases without apparent clinical abnormalities. The imbalances were either caused by a direct duplication in one familial case or by de novo small supernumerary marker chromosomes (sSMC). Thus, we report a yet unrecognized chromosomal region subject to UBCA detected in seven unrelated cases. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a UBCA in the pericentromeric region of chromosome 10 that is not correlated with any clinical consequences. |
