Article Synopsis
- Aberrant male germline development can cause a type of cancer called seminoma, which is a tumor in the testicles.
- Seminomas are similar to early-stage germ cells and often have an extra piece of chromosome 12.
- Researchers are studying seminomas using special cells from patients to understand what causes this cancer and how it forms, since there aren't any mouse models to help with this research.

Pallister-Killian syndrome (PKS; OMIM #601803) is a rare genetic disorder typically characterized by developmental delay, seizures, sparse temporal hair, and facial dysmorphisms. PKS is most frequently caused by mosaic supernumerary isochromosome 12p. Here, we report a 27-month-old girl with a prenatal diagnosis of PKS and a histopathological diagnosis of pineocytoma.

Pallister-Killian syndrome (PKS) is a rare inherited disease with multiple congenital anomalies, profound intellectual disability, and the presence in the karyotype of sSMC - i(12)(p10). The frequency of PKS may be underestimated due to problems with cytogenetic diagnosis caused by tissue-specific mosaicism and usually a low percentage of peripheral blood cells containing sSMC. Such tissue-specific mosaicism also complicates a detailed analysis of the sSMC, which, along with the assessment of mosaicism in different tissues, is an important part of cytogenetic diagnosis in PKS.

Background: Pallister-Killian syndrome (PKS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by mosaic tetrasomy of 12p with wide neurological involvement. Intellectual disability, developmental delay, behavioral problems, epilepsy, sleep disturbances, and brain malformations have been described in most individuals, with a broad phenotypic spectrum. This observational study, conducted through brain MRI scan analysis on a cohort of patients with genetically confirmed PKS, aims to systematically investigate the neuroradiological features of this syndrome and identify the possible existence of a typical pattern.

Recent advancements in genetic testing have revealed cases of mosaicism, demonstrating the phenomenon may be more common than once thought. Broadly defined, mosaicism describes the presence of two genotypically different cell lineages within the same organism. This can arise from small mutations or errors in chromosome segregation, as early as in gametes, before or after fertilization.
