- Abstract
- Cri du chat mosaicism: an unusual case of partial deletion and partial deletion/duplication of the short arm of chromosome 5, leading to an unusual cri du chat phenotype: The Cri du Chat Syndrome (CdCS) is one of the most common deletion syndromes, involving the short arm of chromosome 5, with an incidence of 1 in 50.000 live births Me following are the characteristic features of this syndrome: microcephaly hypertelorism, round face, micrognatia, epicanthic folds, prominent nasal bridge, hypotonia and severe psychomotor retardation. Patients also show a high pitched cry similar to the mewing of a cat. Deletions and duplications of chromosome 5p have been described in the literature. Mosaicism represents only 3% of this cytogenetic aberration. Up to date, only cases of de novo 5p mosaic anomalies involving two or three rearranged cell lines, with deletions and duplications, have been described. Herein, we report the first case of a patient affected by multiple congenital anomalies and a mosaicism, with two rearranged cell lines: one with a 5p deletion; the other with a 5p deletion/duplication. Our patient did not show the characteristic features described in patients with 5p duplications, but a phenotype compatible with the CdCS. Our case represents the first description of a mosaicism with deletion and deletion/duplication of a portion of the short arm of chromosome 5. (literal)
