Unusual phenotype in partial trisomy 14

Abstract: An 8-year-old boy with partial trisomy 14q and phenotype distinct from previously reported cases is described. The mother carries a balanced 9;14 reciprocal translocation. The patient presented with minor facial anomalies, developmental delay, hyperphagia, and obesity. Imprinting of maternal chromosome 14 or disruption of one or more genes on chromosome 9 may be responsible for our patient's manifestations.

“…Our patient shares similarities of the swirly areas of hyperpigmentation with mosaic of trisomy 14 and with Turner syndrome, in addition to a global developmental delayed found in most of the cases mentioned above (Fig. 1a, b) 2,[5][6][7][8] . However, this patient does not have a cardiac condition, abdominal, limbs or rib deformities, or behavioral problems such as impulsivity, obstinacy, and compulsive skin picking ( Table 1).…”

“…Partial trisomy 14q usually gives rise to a milder dysmorphic syndrome consistent with our patient's presentation. One case reported a trisomic segment similar to ours [Laurent et al, 1973] and four additional cases reported slightly larger trisomic regions (14pter → 14q13) [Fryns et al, 1974; Coco and Penchaszadeh, 1977; Abeliovich et al, 1982; Lemire and Cardwell, 1999]. All of these cases presented with a relatively mild phenotype.…”

“…The phenotype of proximal trisomy 14 comprises developmental and growth retardation, microcephaly, blepharophimosis, low‐set ears, flat nasal bridge, cleft palate, microphthalmia, and recurrent respiratory infections (Table I) [for review: Lemire and Cardwell, 1999; Schinzel, 2001; George et al, 2002]. In the case of tetrasomy of proximal 14q, only two cases have been reported: In the prenatally diagnosed tetrasomy 14q case [George et al, 2002], the ultrasound abnormalities and the aberrant karyotype led to therapeutic abortion at 23 weeks of gestation.…”
