Abstract

Purpose : Chromosome analysis is important in genetic study and genetic counseling. This study was performed to evaluate the type and incidence of chromosome abnormalities in a single hospital for 25 years. Methods : Chromosome analyses were performed on peripheral blood lymphocytes, obtained from 4,856 patients with suspected chromosomal aberrations, referred to cytogenetic laboratory in Department of Pediatrics, Kyungpook National University Hospital from May 1981 to October 2005. Results : We analyzed 4,567 cases. Children were 3,014 cases (66.0%) and adult were 1,553 cases (34.0 %). The most common purpose of the chromosomal analysis was growth and developmental abnormality in children and infertility in adults. Total chromosomal aberration rate was 16.9% (770/4,567). Among those cases, the numerical abnormalities were 12.2% (558 cases), the structural abnormalities were 4.1% (187 cases), and others were 0.5% (25 cases). The relative frequencies of autosomal abnormalities were 6.4% (294 cases) in Down syndrome; 0.2% (7 cases) in Edwards syndrome; 0.1% (4 cases) in Patau syndrome; 0.2% (10 cases) in other abnormalities, of sex chromosome, 2.9% (131 cases) in Klinefelter syndrome; 2.2% (99 cases) in Turner syndrome; 0.2% (8 cases) in 47, XXX; 0.1% (3 cases) in 47, XYY. Among the structural abnormalities, translocation was 1.8% (84 cases), inversion was 0.8% (37 cases), deletion was 0.4% (17 cases), and insertion was 0.3% (13 cases), in order of frequency. Conclusion : In this study, the type, incidence and distribution of cytogenetic abnormalities by karyotype were reviewed. We hope that our study could be used as a basic information on the diagnosis, treatment and genetic counseling for chromosome abnormalities in Korea.

목 적 : 염색체의 구조 및 유전을 연구하는 학문인 세포유전학은 임상 진단, 생식 문제, 산전 진단, 종양, 유전자의 다형성 및 유전 상담에 있어 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 이 연구는 단일 기관에서 시행된 말초혈액을 이용한 세포유전학 검사 결과를 검토하여 주요 염색체 이상의 양상과 빈도를 분석하였다. 방 법 : 1981년 5월부터 2005년 10월까지 25년간 경북대학교병원 소아과 염색체 검사실로 각 임상 진료과에서 염색체 이상이 의심되어 의뢰한 말초혈액 검체 4,856례를 대상으로 하여 염색체 핵형을 분석하였다. 결 과 : 총 4,856례 가운데 4,567례를 분석하였다. 이 중 소아는 3,014례(66.0%), 성인은 1,553례(34.0%)였으며, 검사를 의뢰한 가장 흔한 이유는 소아에서는 성장과 발달 장애, 성인에서는 생식 문제였다. 4,567례 중 염색체 이상은 770례(16.9%)에서 발견되었다. 염색체 이상 중 수적 이상은 558례(12.2%), 구조적 이상은 187례(4.1%)였으며, 취약부위나 염색체 파손과 같은 이상이 25례(0.5%)였다. 수적 이상 중 상염색체 이상은 Down 증후군이 294례(6.4%)로 가장 많았으며, Edwards 증후군 7례(0.2 %), Patau 증후군 4례(0.1%) 순이었다. 성염색체의 이상은 Klinefelter 증후군이 131례(2.9%)로 가장 많았고, Turner 증후군 99례(2.2%), XXX 증후군 8례(0.2%), XYY 증후군 3례(0.1%) 순이었다. 구조적 이상은 전위가 84례(1.8%)로 가장 많았다. 결 론 : 본 연구에서 염색체 이상 핵형의 유형과 그 양상을 파악하였으며, 적극적 세포유전학적 연구로 진료와 유전상담에 적용하여야 할 것이다.
