| Abstract | We characterized the chromosomal aberration in family with intellectual disability, including two affected children and their affected mother. Initial standard karyotypes of the three individuals showed an apparently balanced translocation of chromosomes 8 and 20. Using molecular cytogenetic techniques, we observed complex structural chromosomal aberration comprising of reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 8 and 20 with pericentric inversion (8p11.12q22.3) and insertion of chromosome 4 segments into both der(8) and der(20). In particular, the insertion of chromosome 4 was complex. Two segments (4q13.2-q13.3 and 4q21.21-q22.1) were inserted into the der(8)t(8;20) breakpoint and one segment (4q13.3-q21.21) into the der(20)t(8;20) breakpoint. Both children inherited two normal chromosomes 4 from their parents and the der(8) and der(20) from the mother, resulting in partial trisomy of 4q13.2-q22.1. Interestingly, the mother, in addition to the same complex insertions and inversion, was founded to have a deletion of 4q13.2-q22.1 in one of her chromosomes 4, yielding no genetic imbalance but with potential disruption of intellectual dysfunction-related gene(s) at the breakpoints as the cause of her intellectual impairment. This family is the third case report of an insertional translocation mechanism causing partial trisomy 4q syndrome. Our study demonstrates that an insertion of an extra chromosomal segment, not primarily involving in translocation breakpoints, which results in partial trisomy, can be an unapparent cause of the abnormal phenotypes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
