The majority of carriers of apparently balanced chromosomal rearrangements are phenotypically normal, but about 7% of these rearrangements are associated with clinical abnormalities at birth. Intragenic break, variable expression of genes near the breakpoint due to position effect, generation of chimeric genes and uniparental disomy are pathogenic mechanisms classically proposed. Recently…

The majority of carriers of apparently balanced chromosomal rearrangements are phenotypically normal, but about 7% of these rearrangements are associated with birth defects. In our ongoing PhD project (FAPESP 2011/14293-4), we aim at contributing to the understanding of the causative mechanisms of phenotypic abnormalities in carriers of balanced chromosomal rearrangements. Disclosing the …
