Advances in high-throughput proteomics have led to a rapid increase in the number, size, and complexity of the associated data sets. Managing and extracting reliable information from such large series of data sets require the use of dedicated software organized in a consistent pipeline to reduce, validate, exploit, and ultimately export data. The compilation of multiple mass-spectrometry-based identification and quantification results obtained in the context of a large-scale project represents a real challenge for developers of bioinformatics solutions.

Chromosome study from peripheral blood showed a 46,XX,del(5)(p14pter) karyotype. Parental chromosome studies revealed that the mother carried an apparently balanced paracentric inversion of long arms of one chromosome 5, giving the karyotype 46,XX,inv(5)(q12q32), whereas paternal karyotype was normal.
