Chromosome instability and brain dysfunction: a comparative analysis of two cases

https://doi.org/10.25557/2073-7998.2025.09.54-55

Abstract

Currently, there are data on an association between chromosome instability and neurodevelopmental diseases. Here, we report a comparative analysis of two cases presenting with chromosome instability, mental disorders and similar history studied by cytogenetic and molecular cytogenetic techniques (SNP-array).We show that an increase of chromosome instability is associated with negative dynamics of the disease. SNP-array with bioinformatic analysis revealed genomic variations causing the formation and increase of chromosome instability.
