Abstract

Background: Partial trisomy 13q is a less common chromosomal abnormality with a great clinical variability, among them, isolated partial trisomy 13q is extremely rare. Here, we report two new unrelated cases of partial trisomy 13q in Chinese families aiming to emphasize the genotype–phenotype correlation in partial trisomy 13q. Methods: Enrolled in this study were two unrelated cases of partial 13q trisomy from two families in Quanzhou region South China. Karyotpe and single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array analysis were employed to identify chromosome abnormalities and copy number variants in the families. Results: A 72.9-Mb duplication in 13q14.11q34 region was identified using SNP array analysis in Patient 1 with an intellectual disability, developmental delay, seizures, gastric perforation, and other congenital malformations from a family with paternal inv(13)(p12q14.1). SNP array detection in Patient 2 revealed a 92.4-Mb duplication in 13q12.11q34 region combined with an 8.4-Mb deletion in Xq27.3q28 region with intellectual disability, developmental delay, cleft palate, and duplication of the cervix and the vagina. No chromosomal abnormality was elicited from the parents of Patient 2. Conclusions: In this study, we presented two new unrelated cases of partial trisomy 13q with variable features in Chinese population, which may enrich the spectrum of the phenotypes partial trisomy 13q and further confirm the genotype–phenotype correlation.
