D8S7 is consistently deleted in inverted duplications of the short arm of chromosome 8 (inv dup 8p)

Abstract: Ten patients with inverted duplication of 8p (inv dup 8p) were studied with cytogenetic, biochemical and molecular techniques. The duplication for the region 8p12-p22 was always associated with a deletion of the locus D8S7 (mapped in 8p23.1) as demonstrated with the probe pSW50 by both in situ hybridization and Southern blot. Restriction fragment length polymorphisms detected by probes pSW50 (1 case) and by pG2LPL35 (locus LPL) (two cases) were informative as to a maternal origin of the anomaly. The activity o… Show more

“…This is a recurrent rearrangement (about 1:20,000 newborns) reported in the literature since 1976 (1) associated with severe mental retardation, corpus callosum agenesis, important scoliosis in adulthood. The presence of an inverted duplication ("mirror duplication" (2)) had been hypothesized based on the banding pattern, whereas the demonstration that a concurrent deletion was also present in all inv dup(8p) cases had to wait for the availability of molecular techniques (3,4). Further molecular studies (5,6) on several cases demonstrated that the rearrangement had always the same breakpoints, with a single copy region of about 4-5 Mb interposed between the deletion and the duplication region.…”

“…Several reports noted that distal deletions of 8p were consistently associated with terminal inversion duplications of 8p, suggesting a common mechanism generating these rearrangements (Minelli et al, 1993;Mitchell et al, 1994;de Die-Smulders et al, 1995). Floridia et al (1996) demonstrated that the duplication inversion chromosome 8 was of maternal meiotic origin in all cases investigated, and they proposed that an anomalous recombination between inverted repeats on 8p during maternal meiosis would account for the der(8) chromosome.…”

“…Despite the different breakpoints published, the clinical findings are quite homogenous for most cases (for review see Feldman et al, 1993;de Die-Smulders et al, 1995;Tonk et al, 2001). Many characteristic find- (Minelli et al, 1993). ings like large mouth, prominent lower lip, large ears, are also present in our patient, with the exception of frontal bossing.…”

“…This has been well documented (Floridia et al, 1996). The duplicated region was determined by molecular and molecular cytogenetic methods as p23.1 → cen in three patients and p23.1 → p11.2 in five patients, whereas, based on GTGbanded chromosomes Minelli et al (1993) assigned the duplicated segment to p22 → p12 in seven of these patients and to p22.1 → p21.1 in one patient. Also in the present study the breakpoints assigned by FISH studies were more precise than those based on GTG-banding.…”
