In general 70% of sSMC carriers are clinically normal. The figures here are based partially on the bias, that mainly clinically aberrant cases are reported in literature!

Abbreviations and FISH-methods

 

In the following, the data for the chromosome shown on this sub-page is summarized schematically.
It is based on the hypothesis that a genetic imbalance induced by sSMC presence is the major reason for clinical symptoms in sSMC carriers. Here regions of partial tri- or polysomy cause by an sSMC and the potential clinical outcome is summarized - only no clinical problems (green) are compared to more or less severe clinical problems (red).
Other factors like UPD or point mutations in any potentially disease causing genes are not included here.

Disclaimer: th
e following scheme represents the interpretation of the presently available data on sSMC. It can be used for interpretation of cytogenetic findings - however, there are always exceptions from the findings to be expected. Some are even already described on this page.  Thus, please use this simplifying scheme carefully!!! We do not take any responsibility for (mis)interpretation of this scheme.

Cases with i(18p):
 

Patient support group: 
Chromosome 18 registry & research society: http://www.chromosome18.org

 

According to {32} i(18p) commonly form through meiosis II non-disjunction immediately followed by meiotic or early post-meiotic mitotic miss-division at the centromere; the i(18p) are preferentially of maternal origin. Exceptions are familial forms like described in {35, 37, 39, 43}.

Third child of not consanguineous couple; the pregnancy was complicated by hyperemesis gravidarum treated with metoclopramid and there was a mild exposure to tobacco (3 cigarettes a day) and to alcohol (1 unit per month). No abnormalities noted prenatally; at birth weight and OFC at 10th centile and length at 50-90 centile but no apparent congenital abnormalities were found. At 1y failure to thrive and markedly psychomotor development delay (Griffith General Intelligence Quotient of 63). Neurological examination revealed slight muscular hypotonia but otherwise no abnormalities. MRI of the brain was normal. Laboratory analyses were unsuggestive for any metabolic disorder.  The mother was treated for attention-deficit/hyperactivity problems during her adolescence and her IQ seems to be borderline.
