We report on an infant with multiple congenital anomalies possessing a derivative 14 chromosome in excess of the normal complement, resulting from transmission of a familial t(5;14)(p13;q22). The proposita's phenotypically normal mother, mentally retarded half-brother, and fetal sib are carriers of the apparently balanced translocation. Previous cases of similar familial t(5;14) are reviewed. The proposita's phenotype is characterized by failure to thrive, developmental retardation, cleft palate, congenital heart anomaly, abnormal hands and feet, unusual face with abnormal ears, and recurrent respiratory infections. The proposita died at age 9 months and postmortem examination showed multiple central nervous system, cardiopulmonary, gastrointestinal, and genital malformations. Our proposita's phenotype is attributable to contributions from both chromosomes and is consistent with the consequences of both the dup(5p) and dup(14q).

Genetic Variability of -Related Disorders within an Italian Family: Straddling the Line between Kallmann and Waardenburg Syndrome.
Mol Syndromol

Department of Biomedicine and Prevention, University of Rome "Tor Vergata", Rome, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- - Kallmann syndrome (KS) is a genetic disorder characterized by low reproductive hormone levels and loss of smell, caused by issues in the early development of certain neurons that regulate these functions, with some links to Waardenburg syndrome.
- - A case study of a 28-year-old woman with a lifelong KS diagnosis revealed hearing loss and skin pigmentation issues, and genetic testing identified a specific pathogenic variant that was also present in her mother, who displayed fewer symptoms.
- - The findings emphasize the diverse expressions of KS and related conditions, indicating that patients may show a wide range of symptoms and suggesting the importance of ongoing monitoring for potential additional traits.
Background: Rh(D) phenotype in a sample from a 19-year-old female patient showed weak positivity (1+). A follow-up sample was requested to further define the Rh(D) phenotype, her Rh(D) phenotype was tested by using another reagent, Rh(D) phenotype still showed weak reactivity (1+), RhCcEe phenotype was Ccee.
Methods: Seven samples from the family members of the proposita were received.

Interstitial deletions involving 6q chromosomal region are rare. Less than 30 patients have been described to date, and fewer have been characterized by high-resolution techniques, such as chromosomal microarray. Deletions involving 6q21q22.

Am J Med Genet A
August 2023
Department of Medical Genetics and Provincial Medical Genetics Program, University of British Columbia and Women's Hospital of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Article Synopsis
- PACS1-neurodevelopmental disorder (PACS1-NDD) is linked to a specific genetic variation, Arg203, which causes a type of intellectual disability due to its effect on PACS1 protein's client protein interactions.
- Researchers hypothesize that other PACS1 variants that disrupt binding to adaptor proteins could also lead to similar intellectual disabilities.
- A novel PACS1 variant (Ser252Phe) was identified in a mother-daughter pair, which may impair binding to an adaptor protein (GGA3), suggesting it could contribute to PACS1-NDD-like symptoms and enhancing understanding of how PACS1 variations cause intellectual disabilities.
Background: The goal was to identify a novel FUT1 allele and to study serologic and gene feature of the para-Bombay blood type of one expectant mother in Xinjiang, China.
Methods: ABO and Lewis groups were recognized by standard serologic techniques in an ABO typing discrepancy specimen from one person at the Tianjin Blood Center. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) was collected and polymerase chain reactions with sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP) were performed to sequence exons 6 and 7 of ABO gene, exon 4 of FUT1 gene, and exon 2 of FUT2.
