Glomerulopathy in patients with distal duplication of chromosome 6p

Abstract: BackgroundDuplication of the distal part of chromosome 6p is a rare genetic syndrome. Renal involvement has been reported in the majority of patients, including a wide range of congenital abnormalities of kidney and urinary tract and, occasionally, a proteinuric glomerulopathy.Case presentationHere, we report a 13-year-old girl with 6p25.3p22.1 duplication who presented with proteinuria in infancy, was later diagnosed as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, progressed to end-stage renal disease and was successf… Show more

“…Distal 6p trisomy is very rare. Patients have variable clinical findings with duplications that usually range from 6pter to 6p21-6p25 ( 7 ). The phenotypic features that are associated with dup 6p25.2p24.2 that were present in our patient were tall stature, dysmorphia, obesity, frequent respiratory infections, foot malformations, hypoplastic left kidney, hypospadias, and urethral stenosis.…”

“…In contrast, partial trisomy 6p is considered a clinically distinct syndrome reported in dozens of cases, most of which are associated with monosomy for segments of different chromosomes [ 4 ]. Pure duplication of distal 6p is rare with only 15 previous cases involving the duplication of 6p23-p25.3 [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ] ; characteristic phenotypes generally include low birth weight, developmental delay, growth retardation, craniofacial abnormalities, cataracts, congenital heart defects, glomerulopathy, and kidney and urinary tract anomalies.…”

“…The common features of patients with distal trisomy 6p, distal monosomy 6q, and both distal trisomy 6p and monosomy 6q are presented in Table 1 . Features associated with distal trisomy 6p more commonly include facial dysmorphisms, growth deficiency, developmental delay, intellectual disability, and congenital cardiac, renal, and ocular defects [ 2 ]. Features commonly seen in distal monosomy 6q include intellectual disability, developmental delay, facial dysmorphisms, and central nervous system abnormalities [ 9 ].…”
