Abstract

Purpose: Supernumerary marker chromosome (SMC) could be associated with various phenotypic abnormalities based on the chromosomal origin of SMCs. The present study aimed to determine the genomic contents of SMCs using chromosomal microarray and to analyze molecular cytogenetic characterizations and clinical phenotypes in patients with SMCs. Materials and Methods: Among patients with SMCs detected in routine chromosomal analysis, SMCs originating from chromosome 15 were excluded from the present study. CGH-based oligonucleotide chromosomal microarray was performed in 4 patients. Results: The chromosomal origins of SMCs were identified in 3 patients. Case 1 had a SMC of 16.1 Mb in 1q21.1-q23.3. Case 2 showed 21 Mb gain in 19p13.11-q13.12. Case 3 had a 4.5 Mb-sized SMC rearranged from 2 regions of 2.5 Mb in 22q11.1-q11.21 and 2.0 Mb in 22q11.22-q11.23. Conclusion: Case 1 presented a wide range of phenotypic abnormalities including the phenotype of 1q21.1 duplication syndrome. In case 2, Asperger-like symptoms are apparently related to 19p12-q13.11, hearing problems and strabismus to 19p13.11 and other features to 19q13.12. Compared with cat-eye syndrome type I and 22q11.2 microduplication syndrome, anal atresia in case 3 is likely related to 22q11.1-q11.21 while other features are related to 22q11.22-q11.23. Analyzing SMCs using high-resolution chromosomal microarray can help identify specific gene contents and to offer proper genetic counseling by determining genotype-phenotype correlations.

목적: 표지염색체(supernumerary marker chromosome, SMC)는 유래한 염색체에 따라서 임상 증상이 다양하다. 본 연구는 염색체 마이크로어레이를 이용하여 SMC의 기원을 밝히고 각 증례마다 분자세포유전학적 특성과 임상 표현형을 분석하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 염색체 검사에서 SMC가 검출된 환자들 중에서 15번 염색체 유래를 제외한 4명의 환자에서 CGH 기법의 올리고 뉴클레오티드 염색체 마이크로어레이를 시행하였다. 결과: 3명의 환자에서 유래된 염색체 부위를 확인할 수 있었다. 증례1은 1q21.1-q23.3에서 16.1 Mb의 SMC를 가졌고, 증례2는 19p13.11-q13.12에서 21 Mb, 증례3은 22q11.1-q11.21과 22q11.22-q11.23의 두 구간에서 각각 2.5Mb와 2.0Mb로 재배열된 4.5 Mb의 SMC를 나타내었다. 결론: 증례1은 1q21.1 중복증후군을 포함하여 광범위한 임상표 현형을 나타내었다. 증례2는 아스퍼거 증후군과 유사한 정신행동 이상 소견은 19p12-q13.11, 청력장애와 사시는 19p13.11, 그 외 증상은 19q13.12의 유전자와 연관 가능성이 높다. 증례３은 묘안 증후군 type I 및 22q11.2 미세중복증후군과 비교했을 때 항문폐쇄는 22q11.1-q11.21, 그 외 증상들은 22q11.22-q11.23과 연관성을 시사하였다. 고해상도 염색체 마이크로어레이 분석은 SMC의 유래를 확인할 수 있고 유전형-표현형 상관성을 이해함으로써 유전상담에 도움이 된다.
