Trisomy 15q25.2-qter in an autistic child: Genotype-phenotype correlations / M.T. Bonati, P. Finelli, D. Giardino, G. Gottardi, W. Roberts, L. Larizza. - In: AMERICAN JOURNAL OF MEDICAL GENETICS. PART A. - ISSN 1552-4825. - 133:2(2005), pp. 184-188. [10.1002/ajmg.a.30503]
Abstract:
We report on the case of a male child with autistic disorder, postnatal overgrowth, and a minor brain malformation. Karyotyping and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis showed the presence of an extra copy of the distal portion of chromosome 15q (15q25.2-qter) transposed to chromosome 15p leading to 15q25.2-qter pure trisomy. This karyotype-phenotype study further supports the evidence for a specific phenotype related to trisomy 15q25 or 26-qter and suggests that distal chromosome 15q may be implicated in specific behavioral phenotypes.
