Complex rearranged small supernumerary marker chromosomes (sSMC), three new cases; evidence for an underestimated entity?

Abstract: Background: Small supernumerary marker chromosomes (sSMC) are present ~2.6 × 10 6 human worldwide. sSMC are a heterogeneous group of derivative chromosomes concerning their clinical consequences as well as their chromosomal origin and shape. Besides the sSMC present in Emanuel syndrome, i.e. der(22)t(11;22)(q23;q11), only few so-called complex sSMC are reported.

“…Complex SMCs are recognized more often when aCGH is used. The frequency of complex markers is greater than 0.9%, 10 as shown by our small cohort of 10 patients. aCGH drew finer boundaries for the sSMCs to include 5p13 duplication syndrome and 19q11.2q11.3 duplication obesity-related syndrome genes that provided a strong phenotype correlation in the absence of other copy-number changes.…”

“…9 However, our knowledge on the clinical significance of the other sSMCs is limited. Although complex markers are estimated to form only a small percentage (~0.9%) of SMCs, 10 this may be an underestimation as highlighted in two recent studies applying aCGH to SMCs. 11,12 To address the frequency of complex markers and to provide prognosis based on a meaningful genotype-to-phenotype correlation, we took a systematic, comprehensive approach to precisely characterize 10 consecutive SMCs using chromosome analysis, aCGH, and FISH.…”

“…Several reported complex sSMCs derived from a 3: 1 segregation mechanism were recently summarized by Trifonov et al [2008]. The proposed mechanism for the formation of these sSMCs could not be verified due to either unavailability of the parental samples for cases 1-3 or the normal parental karyotypes for case 4.…”

“…sSMCs have been observed to be derived from any of the 24 human chromosomes, but most of them originate from chromosome 15, followed by chromosome 22 (http://www.fish.uniklinikum-jena.de/sSMC.html). One of the smallest sSMC subgroups is constituted by the so-called complex sSMCs, which contain chromosomal material of more than one chromosome [Trifonov et al, 2008]. Vetro et al [2012] also described 4 patients with sSMCs originated by an un-expected mechanism.…”
