  1. Chromosome abnormalities Dr Cédric Le Caignec Service de Génétique Médicale CHU Nantes

  2. Genetic anomalies 1. Chromosome abnormalities or rearrangements 2. Gene defects: mutations

  3. ATGCACTGATGAATGCATGCAAT From 1 b to 1000 b • Molecular level A gene: about 20 kb Level of resolution Chromosomal band: 5-10 Mb • Cytogenetic level Genome: 3x109 bases

  4. 22 11 Chromosome abnormalities • Different types • Balanced anomalies: associated with a normal phenotype for the majority

  5. Chromosome abnormalities • Different types • Balanced anomalies: associated with a normal phenotype for the majority • Unbalanced anomalies: with a gain or a loss of genetic material usually with abnormal phenotype

  6. Chromosome abnormalities At birth 0.6 à 0.9% of the newborns carry a chromosomal anomaly  high pressure of selection during fetal development Third trimester miscarriages: 5% of the fetuses carry a chromosomal anomaly First trimester miscarriages: 60% of the fetuses carry a chromosomal anomaly

  7. Chromosome abnormalities • Constitutional / Acquired • Homogeneous / Mosaic

  8. Meiosis Fecundation Mitosis Birth

  9. Chromosome abnormalities • Constitutional / Acquired • Homogeneous / Mosaic • Numerical / structural • Balanced • Unbalanced

  10. Numerical abnormalities

  11. Numerical abnormalities :the ploidy • Diploidy (normal somatic cell) : 2 haploïd sets of chromosomes

  12. Numerical abnormalities : the ploidy • Diploidy (normal somatic cell) : 2 haploïd sets of chromosomes • Polyploidy : more than 2 haploïd sets of chromosomes (ex: triploidy)

  13. Numerical abnormalities : polyploidy • Anomaly at fecundation • Triploidy : 69,XXX or 69,XXY or 69,XYY • Tetraploidy : 92,XXYY or 92,XXXX (hemopathies, tumors)

  14. Numerical abnormalities :example of a triploid cell 69,XXX

  15. Numerical abnormalities : • Diploidy (normal somatic cell) : 2 haploïd chromosome sets • Polyploidy : more than 2 haploïd chromosome sets (ex: triploidy) • Aneuploidy: • Gain of one (or more) chromosome (trisomy) • Loss of one (or more) chromosome (monosomy)

  16. Numerical abnormalities :example of trisomy 21 (autosome)

  17. Numerical abnormalities :example of monosomy X

  18. Mechanisms of the aneuploidies • Non-disjunction in meiosis • First division in meiosis I • Second division in meiosis II • Post-zygotic mitotic non-disjunction

  19. MI MII Mechanisms of the aneuploidies: meiosis I non disjunction Most often: homogeneous anomaly

  20. Mechanisms of the aneuploidies: meiosis II non disjunction Most often: homogeneous anomaly MI MII

  21. Mechanisms of the aneuploidies • Non-disjunction in meiosis • First division in meiosis I • Second division in meiosis II • Post-zygotic non-disjunction in mitosis

  22. Mechanisms of the aneuploidies: post-zygotic non-disjunction in mitosis Zygote (post Fecundation) Most often: mosaics

  23. Aneuploidies mat MI MII pat Trisomy 21 91% 75% Trisomy 18 93% 60% Trisomy 13 88% 45,X 80% 47,XXY 53%47%

  24. STRUCTURAL ANOMALIES

  25. Structural anomalies • Balanced ---> Normal phenotype but risk to future offspring • Unbalanced • Deletion • Duplication • Derived chromosome ---> usually associated with abnormal phenotype

  26. Structural anomalies • Only one chromosome involved • One breakage: terminal deletion • Two breakages: one arm: interstitial deletion paracentric inversion two arms: pericentric inversion ring chromosome isochromosome • Two chromosomes involved • Robertsonian translocation • Reciprocal translocation

  27. Structural anomalies • Only one chromosome involved • One breakage: terminal deletion

  28. neotelomere loss breakage Terminal deletions (del) One breakage: terminal deletion del(4)(p15.3)

  29. Terminal deletions (del) • 4p deletion • 5p deletion : Cri du chat syndrome

  30. Structural anomalies • Only one chromosome involved • One breakage: terminal deletion • Two breakages: one arm: interstitial deletion

  31. loss of the chromosome region between Two breakpoints Interstitial deletions Two breakpoints on the same chromosome arm and loss of the chromosome region between: interstitial deletion

  32. Anomalies de structure • Only one chromosome involved • One breakage: terminal deletion • Two breakages: one arm: interstitial deletion • paracentric inversion • two arms: pericentric inversion ring chromosome • isochromosome • Two chromosome involved • Robertsonian translocation: centric fusion

  33. Robertsonian translocations • Involve two acrocentric chromosomes • Breakpoints located at the centromere or close to • Loss of the short arms • Loss of a centromere • Karyotype with 45chromosomes • Consequences in meiosis

  34. loss fusion Robertsonian translocations (rob ou der) rob(13;14)(q10;q10) ou der(13;14)(q10;q10) normal phenotype but clinical consequences

  35. 45,XX,rob(14;21)(q10;q10) Loss of the short arm(s) of chromosomes 14 and 21 Normal phenotype

  36. Risk to future offspring ? der (14;21)(q10;q10) Trisomy 14 ? Trisomy 21 ? 50 % ? 14 21

  37. pachytene

  38. normal balanced • pachytene • alternate segregation gametes zygotes balanced normal

  39. gametes disomy 21 nullosomy 21 zygotes trisomy 21 monosomy 21 miscarriage • adjacent segregation

  40. 46,XY,der(14;21)(q10;q10),+21 trisomy21

  41. gametes disomy 14 nullosomy 14 zygotes trisomy 14 monosomy 14 miscarriage miscarriage • adjacent segregation

  42. Genetic counseling • der(14;21)(q10q10) • the majority of the familial trisomy 21 (1/2 de novo ; 1/2 inherited) • different risk when maternally or paternally inherited • Maternally inherited : trisomy 21 risk: 15 % • Paternally inherited : trisomy 21 risk : 2 %

  43. Genetic counseling • der(21;21)(q10;q10) • Rarely inherited • When inherited: 100% risk of trisomy 21 in the offspring

  44. Genetic counseling • der(13;14)(q10;q10) • frequent (~ 1/1200) • low risk: trisomy 13 ( ~ 1%)

  45. 45,XY,der(13;14)(q10:q10)

  46. Structural anomalies • Only one chromosome involved • One breakage: terminal deletion • Two breakages: one arm: interstitial deletion paracentric inversion two arms: pericentric inversion ring chromosome isochromosome • Two chromosome involved • Robertsonian translocation • Reciprocal translocation

  47. fusion Translocations (t) Two breakpoints located on two different chromosomes followed by an exchange: reciprocal translocation t(6;18)(p24;q21.2)

  48. Breakpoint anomaly Reciprocal translocations • Normal phenotype when balanced • When abnormal phenotype (rarely): • Gene interrupted at one of the breakpoint • microdeletion or • microduplication
