Late-appearing Philadelphia chromosome in two patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia
Am. J. of Med. Genet. Part A
We report on a patient with partial monosomy 6p and partial trisomy 12q identified by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH). She had a complex phenotype characterized by mental retardation (MR), psychomotor developmental delay, speech disorder, hypertelorism, eye anomalies, hearing loss, low-set malformed ears, thin upper lip, heart defect, clinodactyly, pes valgus, and skeletal anomalies. There is phenotypic overlap between our case and Mutchinick syndrome. This is the first report of a combined partial monosomy 6p and partial trisomy 12q due to an unbalanced translocation between subtelomeric regions of these chromosomes. © 201
