Prenatal diagnosis of 24 cases of microduplication 22q11.2: an investigation of phenotype-genotype correlations

Abstract: We discuss the complexity of genetic counseling for microduplication 22q11.2 and comment on possible explanations for the clinical heterogeneity of this syndrome. In particular, we assessed the co-existence of additional CNVs and their contribution to phenotypic variations in chromosome 22q11.2 microduplication syndrome.

“…The 22q11 microdeletion occurs de novo in the majority of patients, while the 22q11 microduplication is, in the majority of cases, inherited from a clinically asymptomatic parent . This opposite behavior is likely attributable to clinical and technical biases of ascertainment, i.e.…”

“…However, the prevalence of renal and urogenital anomalies, developmental delays, cognitive impairments, and behavioral problems in central 22q11.2 deletion carriers seem to be as equally frequent as in carriers with the common 22q11.2 deletion . The 22q11.2 duplication (Chromosome 22q11.2 microduplication syndrome, MIM: 608363) had features overlapping the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, but it is distinguished by mental retardation/learning difficulties (97%) being its most common symptoms . All the detected pathogenic CNVs have broad spectrums of phenotypes, many of which cannot be ascertained by prenatal ultrasonograph, emphasizing the necessity of prenatal genetic analysis.…”

“… There are very few case reports of copy number variants (CNVs) detected by CMA in the literature for NIHF cases, and many of the reported CNVs could have been detected by karyotype. Examples of CNVs reported with NIHF that would only be detected by CMA include 22q11.2 microdeletion or microduplication syndromes, 16p13.3 microdeletion with alpha thalassemia, 11p15.4 microdeletion with εγδβ‐thalassemia, 20p12.3 microduplication with Wolff‐Parkinson‐White syndrome, 1p12p21 microdeletion with congenital diaphragmatic hernia, and 3q29 microduplication and 15q24.3 microdeletion with cardiac dysfunction …”
