Chromosome 22 is an acrocentric chromosome containing 500-600 genes, representing 1.5%-2% of the total DNA in cells. It was the first human chromosome to be fully sequenced by the Human Genome Project. Several syndromes involving the partial deletion or duplication of chromosome 22 are well descibed, including 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, 22q11.2 duplication syndrome, 22q11.2 distal deletion syndrome, Phelan-McDermid syndrome caused by a 22q13 deletion or pathogenic variant in SHANK3, and cat-eye syndrome caused by a 22 pter-q11 duplication. This review aims to provide concise information on the clinical characteristics of these syndromes. In particular, the similarities in features among these syndromes, genetic basis, and standard detection techniques are described, providing guidance for diagnosis and genetic counselling.

SHORT syndrome is an extremely rare congenital condition due to a chromosomal mutation of the PIK3R1 gene found at 5q13.1. SHORT is a mnemonic representing six manifestations of the syndrome: (S) short stature, (H) hyperextensibility of joints and/or inguinal hernia, (O) ocular depression, (R) Rieger anomaly, and (T) teething delay. Other key aspects of this syndrome not found in the mnemonic include lipodystrophy, triangular face with dimpled chin (progeroid facies, commonly referred to as facial gestalt), hearing loss, vision loss, insulin resistance, and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). 3q duplication syndrome is rare syndrome that occurs due to a gain of function mutation found at 3q25.31-33 that presents with a wide array of manifestations including internal organ defects, genitourinary malformations, hand and foot deformities, and mental disability. We present a case of a 2 year and 3 month old male with SHORT syndrome and concurrent 3q duplication syndrome. The patient presented at birth with many of the common manifestations of SHORT syndrome such as bossing of frontal bone of skull, triangular shaped face, lipodystrophy, micrognathia, sunken eyes, and thin, wrinkled skin (progeroid appearance). Additionally, he presented with findings associated with 3q duplication syndrome such as cleft palate and cryptorchidism. Although there is no specific treatment for these conditions, pediatricians should focus on referring patients to various specialists in order to treat each individual manifestation.

Septo-optic dysplasia (SOD) is a rare congenital anomaly that is clinically defined by developmental delay and characteristic brain magnetic resonance imaging findings, including optic nerve hypoplasia, pituitary hormone abnormalities, and midline brain defects. The occurrence of SOD is generally sporadic; however, it can be inherited rarely. Although an association with HESX1, SOX2, and SOX3 mutations has been identified, the detailed etiology is multifactorial and unclear. Here, we present the case of a 7-year-old girl who was clinically diagnosed with SOD and 15q13.3 duplication. Patients with duplication at chromosome 15q13.3 were reported to be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, epilepsy, and schizophrenia in previous studies. The relationship between SOD and the microduplication of 15q13.3 has not yet been explored. In this study, we suggest that there may be an association between chromosome 15q13.3 microduplication and SOD.

22q11.2미세중복 증후군은 학습장애, 선천적 기형에서부터 정상에 이르기까지 다양한 표현형을 나타내는 증후군으로써, 22q11.2 미세결실 증후군인 DiGeorge 증후군과 동일한 위치에서 발생하는 질환이며, 이러한 원인은 유전적 불안정성이 높은 low-copy repeats (LCR) 부위에서 일어나는 유전체의 결손이나 중복에 의해 형성되는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 최근 array CGH가 임상분야에 적용됨에 따라 22q11.2 미세중복 증후군의 진단이 증가되고 있다. 이론적으로 22q11.2 부위의 미세중복이나 미세결실의 빈도는 동일하게 발생해야 하지만, 현재까지 미세결실에 비해 미세중복의 증례보고는 상대적으로 드물며 이는 증상이 없는 경우가 많기 때문인 것으로 알려져 있다. 특히 이전 보고에서 산전에 발견된 미세중복의 증례는 단1례 만이 보고된 바 있다. 저자들은 산전에 진단된 22q11.2 미세중복 증후군 1례의 보고를 통해 유전상담의 중요성과 array CGH의 임상 적용에 관하여 논하고자 한다.

We report the case of an infant with a 4q35.1 deletion with 10p duplication. This mutation is rarely reported in the literature and has been found to have variable clinical findings, often including developmental delay. In this case, the condition was detected by chromosomal microarray analysis after initial manifestation of a feeding problem and developmental delay. Minor dysmorphic features with abnormal neurological examination led to further evaluation. The father's chromosome complement was 46, XY, t(4;10)(q35;p12.2). Parental balanced translocation can go unrecognized, because affected individuals are often phenotypically healthy until they have fertility issues such as recurrent miscarriages or children with severe congenital disorders. Genetic diagnoses help to establish a clear family genetic background that permits the development of clear treatment strategies. Prenatal counseling can also help to understand the possible risks associated with pregnancy or future child planning.

FISH is one of the most sensitive molecular methods to detect genetic abnormalities with DNA probes. When cytogenetic studies are normal or insufficient, FISH may detect cryptic rearrangements, rare or slowly proliferative abnormal populations in non-mitotic cells. We cytogenetically evaluated 70 childhood ALL - 67.1% were found to have an abnormal karyotype. The 23 patients (32.9%) with a normal karyotype were analyzed by FISH applying two probes; TEL/AML1 and MYB which detect cryptic rearrangements of t(12;21)(p13;q22) and deletion of (6q) respectively, associated with a good prognosis. Out of 23 patients, one was positive for t(12;21)(p13;q22) (4.3%). None of our patients were positive for MYB del(6q). Two patients showed an extra signal for MYB on chromosomes other than 6 (8.6 %) indicating amplification or duplication. Findings were compared with the available literature. Our study clearly indicated the integrated FISH screening method to increase the abnormality detection rate in a narrow range. FISH is less useful for diagnostic study of patients with suspected del(6q) but it helps in detecting known cryptic rearrangements as well as identification of new abnormalities(translocation , duplication and amplification) at the gene level.

에드워드 증후군이라 불리는 삼염색체 18은 실제 생존율이 매우 낮으며 생존한 태아도 복합적 기형과 심한 발육지연으로 생존 태아의 90%는 생후 1년 내에 사망하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 18번 염색체의 전체중복이 주된 원인이며, 부분중복 역시 중복된 부위에 따라 어느 정도 차이는 있으나 에드워드 증후군의 특징적인 임상 양상을 나타낸다. 18번 염색체의 q12.1-q21.2, q22.3-qter부위가 에드워드 증후군의 표현형을 결정하는 부위일 것이라 생각되며 이중 일부만 중복되었을 경우 가벼운 임상 양상 및 좋은 예후를 예측할 수 있다. 본 증례에서 환아는 에드워드 증후군의 표현형을 결정하는 18번 염색체의 q12부위가 포함되어 있는 q11.2-12부위에 부분중복이 관찰되었다. 환아는 전형적인 에드워드 증후군 환자보다 훨씬 가벼운 임상 증상과 높은 생존율이 기대되므로 이와 같이 보고하는 바이다.
