Molecular cytogenetic characterization of a derivative X chromosome in a girl with abnormal phenotype

https://doi.org/10.25557/2073-7998.2025.09.78-80

Abstract

The study provides a comprehensive molecular cytogenetic characterization of a de novo derivative X chromosome exhibiting a terminal deletion of the short arm and a terminal duplication of the long arm in a female patient presenting with an abnormal phenotype. The potential mechanisms that may underlie the formation of this chromosomal abnormality, as well as the contribution of chromosomal imbalance in clinical manifestations, are discussed.
