Description
The copy number gain of 13q32.3qter involves numerous protein coding genes including COL4A1 (OMIM 120130), COL4A2 (OMIM 120090) and is expected to cause phenotypic and/or developmental abnormalities. A de novo heterozygous duplication of 13q32q34 was reported in a patient with developmental delay, seizures, mild dysmorphism, and hypotonia (Milani 2006). The authors reported absence of the cardinal features of trisomy 13, such as brain malformation, polydactyly, hernias, urogenital abnormalities, and hemangiomas, in their patient. Moreover, a smaller 8.1 Mb duplication at 13q33.2q34 including COL4A1 and COL4A2 was reported in an adult patient with periventricular leukoencephalopathy and cerebral small vessel disease (Renard 2014). Further, de novo supernumerary marker chromosomes (sSMCs), leading to gains of 13q32qter locus, are reported in patients with common manifestations including hemangioma, low set or abnormal ears, dysmorphic eyes and ophthalmologic diseases, developmental delay, intellectual disability, and facial dysmorphism (Liu 2013; Barwell 2004; Warburton 2000). This large duplication also includes multiple genes that are associated with autosomal dominant OMIM phenotype: ZIC2 (OMIM 609637), NALCN (OMIM 616266), FGF14 (OMIM 609307), IRS2 (OMIM 125853), COL4A1 (OMIMs 180000, 614519, 611773, 175780, and 618564), COL4A2(OMIMs 614519 and 614483), and CHAMP1 (OMIM 616579)._x000D__x000D_ Reference_x000D__x000D_ Barwell et al., Am J Med Genet A. 2004 Oct 15;130A(3):295-8.
