• 59 cases– 41 apparently balanced
translocations:
• 27 patients : 40% (11/27) unbalanced
– 22% (6/27) with deletions at the translocation breakpoints
– 18% (5/27) with complex rearrangements
• 14 fetuses: all normal
– 18 complex rearrangements: 16/18 (89%) unbalanced
• 13 patients
• 3 fetuses
• 2 females with repeated abbortions
Apparently balanced translocations: the majority is unbalanced!!!

The bad news: we are all copy variable
![Page 11: Molecular karyotyping: From postnatal to preimplantation ... Vermeesch.pdf · Molecular karyotyping: From postnatal to preimplantation genetic diagnosis Joris Vermeesch, Center for](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022002/5a835a667f8b9aee018ec190/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Clinical VALIDITY?Clinical significance of anomaly?
I was thinking:
What if you would add a gene…
We are all copy variable!!
Benign copy number variation
Malignant
imbalances
1 bp Deletion or duplication size 10 Mb
With ever increasing resolution, the With ever increasing resolution, the boundary between bening and boundary between bening and
pathogenic CNVs becomes pathogenic CNVs becomes blurred!blurred!

The challenge: Which imbalances are causal for the phenotype?
Conventional wisdom:
Recurrent imbalances with same phenotype are causal
The larger the size, the more likely causal
Population embedded CNVs are benign
Inherited imbalances are benign while de novo imbalances are causal
![Page 13: Molecular karyotyping: From postnatal to preimplantation ... Vermeesch.pdf · Molecular karyotyping: From postnatal to preimplantation genetic diagnosis Joris Vermeesch, Center for](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022002/5a835a667f8b9aee018ec190/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Solutions
• Large scale collection of all genotypes & phenotypes!• Require submission of phenotype and genotype to public repository upon publishing.
Identifying recurrent imbalances and phenotypes
Limitations
• Only imbalances believed to be causal are collected
• Depend on goodwill of laboratories (lot of information lost)
• Phenotyping is labour intensive

Mendelian CNVs: a paradigm shift in (cyto)genetics
Inherited apparently benign CNVs CAN cause disease
“Mendelian CNVs” is the term coined here to indicate benign CNVs which can cause disease dependent on either copy number state, inheritance pattern or genetic and environmental background.

Autosomal recessive CNVs: e.g.Cohen syndrome • Autosomal recessive inheritance:

Messages from postnatal diagnosis
Ability to interpret CNVs clinically is in it’s infancy:
• Need for large scale genotype/phenotype efforts
• Need for bio-informatic expert systems
Higly penetrant recurrent CNVs Rest of the world:
Rare CNVs with variable penetrance & expressivity

How to deal with
• Variable expressivity and penetrance?
• Unclassified variants?
• Late onset disorders?
• Unexpected finding in foetus?

Prenatal diagnosis for abnormal ultrasound?
Strategy in Leuven (approved by ethical committee)
- Only foetuses with abnormal ultrasound and at least two signs
- Interpretation by both a cytogeneticist & clinical geneticist
- Report only relevant findings
- No connection between the original data and patients!

Embryos are chromosomally unstable
PGD for aneuploidy screening is useless because- mitotic error rate is higher than meiotic error rate- One cell is not representative of whole embryo
