Pierre Robin sequence (PRS)는 소악증, 구개열, 설하수 및 고궁구개 등의 기형을 합병한 선천성 질환으로, 수유 장애 및 호흡 곤란 소견을 보이는 증후군이다. PRS과 관련된 염색체 핵형 분석 결과가 보고되면서, 유전학적 관련성이 제시되어 왔으나, 아직까지 명확히 규명되지 않은 상태이다. 이에 저자들은 PRS 환아에서 처음으로 핵형 46, XX, dup(8)(p21.3p23.1)를 보인 환아를 경험하고, 전염색체탐색자 분석을 통해 중복된 물질이 8번 염색체임을 확인하였으며, PRS와 8번 삼염색체성과의 관련성을 보고하는 바이다.

7번과 8번 염색체의 전위에 의한 염색체 이상 증후군은 드물게 보고되고 있어 그 임상적 특징에 대한 정보가 적다. 저자들은 비슷한 특이한 외형과 다발성 기형을 보인 오누이에서 동일하게 derivative (8)t(7;8)(q22;p23.3) 염색체 이상 증후군을 관찰하여 그 임상적 특징과 추적 관찰한 경과를 보고하는 바이다.

저자들은 특징적인 안면 기형과 발열이 있는 semilobar type의 holoprosencephaly 환아에서 국내에서는 보고된 바 없는 염색체 검사상 21번 염색체 단체성이 동반된 holoprosencephaly 1례를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) can now be applied to detect the origin of extra or missing chromosomal material in cases with common unbalanced aberrations and in prenatal investigations. This method has been used in 13 cases of fetal samples for this study; 3 for amniocytes, 2 for cord blood and 8 for abortus tissues. These samples were previously subjected to GTG-banding. Our study showed aneuploidy in 8 cases, and partial monosomy, partial trisomy or marker chromosome in the remaining 5. The CGH disclosed further small genetic imbalances in 4 of all 13 cases: a prenatal sample showing del(20)(q13) by GTG confirmed a loss of the segment 20p13-pter by CGH; a marker chromosome manifested normal CGH profile; chromosome der(?)(?;15) found in an abortus sample by GTG turned out to be a loss of 15pter-q14 (partial monosomy) and a gain of 10pter-q22 (partial trisomy); the der(15) shown by GTG represented partial trisomy of 3q24-qter. These findings show that CGH is very useful and efficient for cytogenetic investigations of clinical cases.

Down syndrome is one of the major chromosomal anomalies in Korea. To decrease incidence of Down syndrome, antenatal diagnosis is essential. At present, antenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome is done by karyotyping from chorionic villus sampling, amniocentesis, and cordocentsis. All these methods have some problems such as a risk of abortion, a long waiting time, difficulties in sampling, and so on. The aim of study was to confirm that PCR(Polymerase Chain Reaction) using D21S11 primer could be a diagnostic tool for Down syndrome. PCR using D21S11 primers with $^{32}P$ labeling at 5' end was done in 21 cases of DNA from 21 Trisomy and 20 cases of DNA from normal karyotype. PCR product was running for 10 hours on the 6% polyacrylamide gel under 1,000 V or for 8 hours under 1,500 V. After X-ray film exposure, it was read by densitometry. Normal group showed 1: 1 band or single band. 21 Trisomy group showed 1.3-2: 1 band or 2.3 times of density compared to normal single band or 3 bands. This method gave the result within 24 hours. It can be an useful diagnostic tool to detect 21 Trisomy antenatally, especially in late pregnancy, and in preimplantation diagnosis.
