Abstract

Developmental Biology Life Sciences & Biomedicine Science & Technology Toxicology
BACKGROUNDApproximately 100 small supernumerary marker chromosomes (sSMCs) with a non--satellite neocentromere structure have been reported in the literature. Of the few derived from chromosome 13, five have consisted of inverted duplicated segment 13q32qter. CASE REPORTWe herein describe the sixth case, characterized by genome wide SNP array, conventional cytogenetics and FISH studies. The de novo occurrence of the marker, the poor prognosis and the presence of hemangiomas are consistent with previous cases. CONCLUSIONWe hereby expand the clinical spectrum of this rare cytogenetic disorder and suggest a possible mechanism for the pathogenesis of associated congenital vascular malformations.
