  1. Medical genetics Dr. Lina Basel Schneider Children’s Medical Center of Israel

  2. Benefits of genetic evaluation 1.What is the problem 2. Why did it happen 3. What will it mean for our baby 4. Will it happen again

  3. Benefits of genetic evaluation Reproductive counseling: carrier testing, prenatal diagnosis Presymptomatic screening for associated complications Referral to support groups

  4. How do you make a syndrome diagnosis? History Examination Investigations

  5. Family history • Any relative with mental retardation or known malformations • Neonatal deaths, stillbirths or childhood deaths • Familial disorders or physical features • Consanguinity in parents • Ethnic background • Prior genetic testing or screening

  6. History Family history– pedigree: what is the mode of inheritance? - AR, AD, XL, Y-linked, mitochondrial, trinucleotide repeat expansion

  7. History Maternal health,vitamin supplements and drug use hydantoin

  8. History Maternal health,vitamin supplements and drug use valproic acid

  9. History Maternal health,vitamin supplements and drug use alcohol

  10. History Pregnancy investigations: NT US Biochemical screening Amniocentesis Fetal MRI

  11. Physical examination Height plot on appropriate growth chart

  12. Physical examination Proportions U/L segment Arm span Hand length

  13. Physical examination Posture and tone: trisomy 18 PWS

  14. Physical examination Facial expression: Angelman syndrome

  15. Physical examination Movements and behavior: Rett syndrome

  16. Physical examination Characteristic personality: Williams syndrome

  17. Molecular tests (sequencing, specific mutation testing) CHG arrays, SNP arrays, MLPA Karyotype, FISH, low-resolution CGH

  18. Chromosomal tests

  19. Chromosomal structure Subtelomeric regions Subtelomeric regions

  20. Cytogenetic tests - karyotype

  21. Cytogenetic tests - karyotype • Indications: • Mental retardation • Dysmorphic features • Major anomaly • Recurrent spontaneous abortions • Family history of multiple affected individuals with MR/malformations 5-10 Mb resolution (300-600 cytogenetic bands)

  22. ECARUCA

  23. Cytogenetic tests – high resolution karyotype Indications: High suspicion of chromosomal anomaly

  24. Microdeletions and microduplications DiGeorge/VCFS Williams Smith-Magenis Miller-Dieker lissencephaly Rubinstein-Taybi Wolf-Hirshhorn

  25. Cytogenetic tests – FISH (Fluorescent in situ hybridization) Fluorescence in situhybridization (FISH) Need to suspect a specific diagnosis!

  26. Cytogenetic tests – FISH

  27. Cytogenetic tests – FISH • Indications: • Detects specific microdeletions/microduplications • Quick test for detection of abnormal chromosome number (pregnancy)

  28. Di George/VCFS Aortic arch abnormalities Hypocalcemia Cleft palate Immunodeficiency Developmental delay Psychiatric disorders

  29. Williams syndrome Characteristic facies Supravalvular AS Hypercalcemia Microcephaly Kidney abnormalities Musculoskeletal problems Developmental delay

  30. Prader Willi/Angelman syndrome

  31. Cytogenetic tests – subtelomeric FISH

  32. Cytogenetic tests – subtelomeric FISH Indications: Mental retardation/dysmorphic features/congenital anomalies Familial cases (especially if variable clinical features Detects deletions/duplications of the subtelomeric regions

  33. Cytogenetic tests – subtelomeric FISH

  34. SKY – spectral karyotyping Indications: Unidentified chromosomal marker Multiple chromosomal translocations

  35. Molecular cytogenetic techniques Array CGH SNP array

  36. Molecular cytogenetic techniques Array CGH Genomic rearrangements detectable by array CGH: 10-15% in patients with syndromic MR Depends on the stringency of the clinical criteria

  37. Array CGH – resolution Various levels of resolution: the higher the resolution, the higher the detection rate • Targeted array • 1 Mb resolution (aCGH with 3,000-3,500 BAC clones) • 10-100 kb resolution (aCGH with 32,447 BACs/oligos) • Exon aCGH (all ~250,000 exons in human genome)

  38. Array CGH Indications: Mental retardation/dysmorphic features/congenital anomalies Detection of microdeletions, microduplications No need for specific diagnosis

  39. Copy number variants (CNVs) How much copy number variations (CNVs) exist? What is the contribution of copy number variation to genetic disease? What role has copy number variation played in recent human evolution?
