Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of 1q21.1 copy number variants: A report of 34 new individuals and literature review. Am J Med Genet A 2024; 194:e63457. [PMID: 37881147 DOI: 10.1002/ajmg.a.63457] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2022] [Revised: 09/01/2023] [Accepted: 10/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/27/2023]
Abstract
Recurrent 1q21.1 copy number variants (CNVs) have been associated with a wide spectrum of clinical features, ranging from normal phenotype to moderate intellectual disability, with congenital anomalies and dysmorphic features. They are often inherited from unaffected parents and the pathogenicity is difficult to assess. We describe the phenotypic and genotypic data for 34 probands carrying CNVs in the 1q21.1 chromosome region (24 duplications, 8 deletions and 2 triplications). We also reviewed 89 duplications, 114 deletions and 5 triplications described in the literature, at variable 1q21.1 locations. We aimed to identify the most highly associated clinical features to determine the phenotypic expression in affected individuals. Developmental delay or learning disabilities and neuropsychiatric disorders were common in patients with deletions, duplications and triplications of 1q21.1. Mild dysmorphic features common in these CNVs include a prominent forehead, widely spaced eyes and a broad nose. The CNVs were mostly inherited from apparently unaffected parents. Almost half of the CNVs were distal, overlapping with a common minimal region of 1.2 Mb. We delineated the clinical implications of 1q21.1 CNVs and confirmed that these CNVs are likely pathogenic, although subject to incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity. Long-term follow-up should be performed to each newly diagnosed case, and prenatal genetic counseling cautiously discussed, as it remains difficult to predict the phenotype in the event of an antenatal diagnosis.

[PMID: 37692779 PMCID: PMC10484100 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1207891] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 09/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Chromosomal 1q21.1 deletions and duplications are genomic disorders that are usually diagnosed postnatally. However, the genotype-phenotype correlations of 1q21.1 copy number variants (CNVs) during the prenatal period are still not clear. This study aimed to provide a systematic summary of prenatal phenotypes for such genomic disorders. Methods In total, 26 prenatal amniotic fluid samples diagnosed with 1q21.1 microdeletions/microduplications were obtained from pregnant women who opted for invasive prenatal testing. Karyotypic analysis and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) were performed for all cases simultaneously. The pregnancy outcomes and health conditions after birth in all cases were followed up. Meanwhile, prenatal cases with 1q21.1 microdeletions or microduplications in the literature were retrospectively collected. Results In total, 11 pregnancies (11/8,252, 0.13%) with 1q21.1 microdeletions and 15 (15/8,252, 0.18%) with 1q21.1 microduplications were identified. Among these 1q21.1 CNVs, 4 cases covered the thrombocytopenia-absent radius (TAR) region, 16 cases covered the 1q21.1 recurrent microdeletion/microduplication region, and 6 cases covered all regions mentioned above. The prenatal abnormal ultrasound findings were recorded in four participants with 1q21.1 deletions and seven participants with 1q21.1 duplications. Finally, three cases with 1q21.1 deletions and five with 1q21.1 duplications terminated their pregnancies. Conclusion In the prenatal setting, 1q21.1 microdeletions were associated with increased nuchal translucency (NT), anomalies of the urinary system, and cardiovascular abnormalities, while 1q21.1 microduplications were correlated with cardiovascular malformations, nasal bone dysplasia, and increased NT. In addition, cerebral ventriculomegaly might be correlated with 1q21.1 microduplications. Considering the variable expressivity and incomplete penetrance of 1q21.1 CNVs, long-term follow-up after birth should be carried out in these cases.

Abstract
Copy number variations (CNVs) at the chromosomal 1q21.1 region represent a group of hot-spot recurrent rearrangements in human genome, which have been detected in hundreds of patients with variable clinical manifestations. Yet, report of such CNVs in prenatal scenario was relatively scattered. In this study, 17 prenatal cases involving the 1q21.1 microdeletion or duplication were recruited. The clinical survey and imaging examination were performed; and genetic detection with karyotyping and CNV analysis using chromosomal microarray (CMA) or CNVseq were subsequently carried out. These cases were all positive with 1q21.1 CNV, yet presented with exceedingly various clinical and utrasonographic indications. Among them, 12 pregnancies carried 1q21.1 deletions, while the other 5 carried 1q21.1 duplications, all of which were within the previously defined breaking point (BP) regions. According to the verification results, 9 CNVs were de novo, 7 were familial, and the other 1 was not certain. We summarized the clinical information of these cases, and the size and distribution of CNVs, and attempted to analyze the association between these two aspects. The findings in our study may provide important basis for the prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling on such conditions in the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We present the prenatal diagnosis of a class II 1q21.1 microdeletion in monozygotic (MZ) twins with discordant phenotypes. CASE REPORT A monochorionic diamniotic twin pair presented with discordant ultrasound anomalies; twin A had cardiovascular abnormalities, while twin B did not. No specific complications were noted in the twins during pregnancy. A single nucleotide polymorphism array revealed an identical class II 1q21.1 microdeletion inherited from a phenotypically normal mother and identified the twins as MZ. The deleted region encompassed both the proximal 1q21.1 thrombocytopenia absent radius syndrome region and the distal 1q21.1 recurrent microdeletion region. No other rare copy number variants (CNVs) were identified, and concordance was observed in the CNVs between the twins. CONCLUSION Discordant cardiovascular abnormalities may occur in MZ twins carrying the same class II 1q21.1 microdeletion. Further studies involving discordant MZ twins are needed to determine the modifying factors of the phenotypic heterogeneity of the microdeletion.

Abstract
The subchromosomal region 1q21.1 is one of the hotspots in the human genome for deletions and reciprocal duplications, owing to the existence of hundreds of segmental duplications. Recurrent deletions and duplications in this region are thought to be causative in patients with variable clinical manifestations. Based on the genomic locations, deletions and duplications at the 1q21.1 locus have been associated with distinguishable syndromes: chromosome 1q21.1 deletion syndrome, chromosome 1q21.1 duplication syndrome, and thrombocytopenia-absent radius (TAR) syndrome, which is partially due to deletions at the proximal 1q21.1 region. We report here diverse, recurrent deletions and duplications at the 1q21.1 locus in 36 patients from a cohort of 5,200 individuals. Among the 36 patients, 18 patients carry 1q21.1 deletions, nine individuals have reciprocal duplications at 1q21.1, two patients share an identical short deletion, and the remaining seven possess variable sizes of duplications at the proximal 1q21.1 region. Furthermore, we provide cytogenetic characterization and detailed clinical features for each patient. Notably, duplications at the proximal 1q21.1 region have not been associated with a defined disorder in publications. However, recurrent duplications at the proximal 1q21.1 region among the seven patients strongly suggested that the variants are likely pathogenic. The common phenotypical features of those disorders are also summarized to facilitate clinical diagnoses and genetic counseling.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We present detection of a familial 1q21.1 microdeletion and concomitant CHD1L mutation in a fetus with oligohydramnios and bilateral renal dysplasia on prenatal ultrasound. CASE REPORT A 37-year-old, primigravid woman was referred for level II ultrasound examination at 16 weeks of gestation because of oligohydramnios. The parents were phenotypically normal, and there were no congenital malformations in the family. Prenatal ultrasound at 17 weeks of gestation revealed a fetus with fetal growth biometry equivalent to 16 weeks, oligohydramnios with an amniotic fluid index (AFI) of 1.4 cm and bilateral renal dysplasia without sonographic demonstration of bilateral renal arteries. The pregnancy was subsequently terminated, and a 137-g fetus was delivered without characteristic facial dysmorphism. Postnatal cytogenetic analysis of the umbilical cord and parental bloods revealed normal karyotypes. However, array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis on the DNA extracted from the umbilical cord revealed a 2.038-Mb microdeletion of 1q21.1-q21.2 encompassing 11 [Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM)] genes of PRKAB2, FMO5, CHD1L, BCL9, ACP6, GJA5, GJA8, GPR89B, NBPF14, TRN-GTT2-1 and NBPF20. The mother was found to carry the same microdeletion. A missense mutation of c.2353T > G, p.Ser785Ala in CHD1L was detected in the umbilical cord. The father was found to carry a heterozygous mutation of c.2353T > G, p.Ser785Ala in CHD1L. CONCLUSION Fetuses with a 1q21.1 microdeletion and concomitant CHD1L mutation may present oligohydramnios and bilateral renal dysplasia on prenatal ultrasound.
