Oculocutaneous albinism in a patient with 17p13.2-pter duplication - a review on the molecular syndromology of 17p13 duplication

Abstract: Background. Chromosomal duplications involving 17p13.3 have recently been defined as a new distinctive syndrome with several diagnosed patients. Some variation is known to occur in the breakpoints of the duplicated region and, consequently, in the phenotype as well. Aims. We report on a patient, the fifth to our knowledge, a 4-year-old girl with a pure de novo subtelomeric 17p13.2-pter duplication. She presents all of the facial features described so far for this duplication and in addition, a unilateral palma… Show more

“…FISH was first performed on the sister (II-7) using subtelomeric probes (Vysis) of chromosome 17p and showed the absence of a subtelomeric signal on one of the chromosomes 17p (FIG. 3 Curiously, patients having the smallest and the largest duplications of the MDS region reported so far have presented normal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) (P1/ [10]; P1/ [15]). This suggests that this heterogeneity depends on the size of the duplication and the involved genes as well as on the involvement of other gene interactions and modifier genes.…”

“…Likewise, our patient presented corpus callosum hypoplasia. Curiously, patients having the smallest and the largest duplications of the entire MDS region reported so far have presented normal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) (P1/ [11]; P1/ [16]). This suggests that this heterogeneity depends on the size of the duplication and the involved genes as well as on the involvement of other gene interactions and modifier genes.…”

“…So far, to the best of our knowledge, only 13 patients having large 17p13.3 duplications, including the entire MDS comprising both PAFAH1B1 and YWHAE genes have been reported [2,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15] (Fig. 6) with varying sizes and different breakpoints.…”
