Presence of 2p25.3 Duplication and 2q37.3 Microdeletion Syndrome in the Same Individual
Abstract
The study of chromosome 2 in humans has allowed recognizing that its alteration, based on a specific location, can lead to various associated diseases. Through the phenotypic identification, supported by comparative genomic hybridization and subsequent bioinformatic analysis, the presence of a pathogenic duplication was detected in the chromosomal region 2p25.3p24.3 affecting 36 genes. Additionally, a pathogenic deletion was identified in cytoband 2q37.3 affecting 36 genes. The bioinformatic analysis showed interactions among genes that explain symptomatic characteristics. This is the first time that these two variants are present in the same individual. Both disorders have been associated with moderate psychomotor retardation, autism, ectopic neurohypophysis, arachnodactyly, congenital heart disease, and cardiovascular disorders. The hdac4 mutation has been suggested to cause most of the features of 2q37 microdeletion syndrome. The heterogeneous clinical phenotype derives from the chromosomal rearrangement found, which allows describing, interpreting, and providing the patient with timely targeted treatment and the respective family genetic counseling. Finally, this specific type of chromosomal rearrangement has been reported for the first time.
