13q Deletion Syndrome Involving RB1: Characterization of a New Minimal Critical Region for Psychomotor Delay

Abstract: Retinoblastoma (RB) is an ocular tumor of the pediatric age caused by biallelic inactivation of the RB1 gene (13q14). About 10% of cases are due to gross-sized molecular deletions. The deletions can involve the surrounding genes delineating a contiguous gene syndrome characterized by RB, developmental anomalies, and peculiar facial dysmorphisms. Overlapping deletions previously found by traditional and/or molecular cytogenetic analysis allowed to define some critical regions for intellectual disability (ID) an… Show more

“…Secondly, the 13q deletion syndrome has been linked to retinoblastoma and digit deformities (Comings, 1973 ). Reports indicate that the 13q14 deletion segments vary in size and may be accompanied by diverse systemic abnormalities (Privitera et al., 2021 ). Previous research has demonstrated that hand and foot abnormalities are associated with the loss of chromosome segment 13q32 (Knudson Jr., 1971 ).…”

“…Any change in chromosome 13q14 could result in mental retardation and Rb. It should be noted that some children with Rb having 13q cytogenetic abnormalities may exhibit some levels of mental retardation despite normal development [41] .…”

“…[ 10 ] Germline or de novo mosaic 13q deletions can involve the surrounding genes delineating a contiguous gene syndrome characterized by retinoblastoma, developmental anomalies, and facial dysmorphisms. [ 11 ] Mosaicism results from postzygotic mutation that occurs during early embryonic development and can lead to germline or somatic mosaicism, potentially causing a less severe and/or variable phenotype compared with the equivalent constitutive mutation. [ 12 ]…”
