PG - 82-7 AB - We report on a clinical and molecular cytogenetic study of a patient who presents a complex chromosomal rearrangement with two different cell lines. Using high-resolution GTG banding and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with several probes, including bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs), the karyotype was defined as 46,XX,del(9)(p23)[54]/46,XX,der(9)t(1;9)(q41;p23)[46], indicating the presence of monosomy 9p23 in all cells and trisomy 1q41 in approximately 50% of the cells. The patient studied presents most of the manifestations of the 9p deletion and 1q duplication syndromes. The breakpoint was mapped at 9p23 with a loss of approximately 13.9-Mb of DNA. The duplicated segment consists of approximately 35 Mb from 1q41-qter region. We also suggest that a mechanism for telomere capture and interstitial telomeric sequences (ITs) is involved in a neo-telomere formation in one of the cell lines. This study highlights the importance of combining high-resolution chromosome and FISH with BACs in order to make genotype-phenotype correlations and to understand the mechanisms involved chromosomal aberrations.
