Abstract in Portuguese
Rearranjos cromossômicos estruturais estão potencialmente associados ao desenvolvimento de doenças genéticas devido à disrupção, inativação ou alteração da dosagem gênica. O objetivo deste projeto foi realizar a caracterização genômica de duas pacientes e seus familiares portadores de rearranjo cromossômico estrutural envolvendo o braço curto do cromossomo 4 e o braço longo do cromossomo 12, associando técnicas de citogenética clássica (bandamento GTG), citogenética molecular (FISH) e citogenômica (array-CGH), para definição diagnóstica e maior conhecimento sobre os fatores envolvidos na correlação cariótipo-genótipo-fenótipo. Foram avaliados seis indivíduos, duas pacientes, primas em primeiro grau que apresentavam alterações fenotípicas, assim como seus familiares, portadores de translocação aparentemente equilibrada e fenótipo normal. Apesar das duas pacientes apresentarem alteração cromossômica comum, derivativo do cromossomo 4 [der(4)], foram observados achados fenotípicos distintos. A investigação permitiu a definição do diagnóstico de deleção 4p16 e trissomia 12qter para as duas pacientes com fenótipo alterado e cariótipo 46,XX,der(4)t(4;12)(p16;q24.3), a definição precisa dos pontos de quebra em 4p16.3 e 12q24.31->q24.33, assim como a determinação da origem parental do rearranjo e a definição do diagnóstico citogenético final de quatro portadores de translocação aparentemente equilibrada e cariótipo t(4;12)(4pter->4p16.3::2q24.31->12qter;12qter->12q24.31::4p16.3->4pter),direcionando o aconselhamento genético para a família. Nas duas pacientes, a técnica de array-CGH (Plataforma 2x400K, Agilent®) detectou uma diferença sutil de tamanho entre as perdas e ganhos referentes aos cromossomos envolvidos no rearranjo, sendo diagnosticado em P1 uma perda de 2.707.221 pb na citobanda 4p16.3, além de um ganho de 12.405.205 pb em 12q24.31->q24.33. A paciente 2 apresentou uma perda de 2.710.969 pb em 4p16.3 e um ganho de 12.393.885 pb em 12q24.31->q24.33. Ambas as regiões de desequilíbrio genômico incluem genes que podem ser relevantes para manifestação fenotípica observada nas pacientes, entre eles: WHSC1, NELFA, LETM1, FGFRL1 e SPON2. Os resultados da investigação citogenômica indicaram, ainda, a presença de translocação equilibrada nos quatro indivíduos portadores, não sendo detectadas perdas e/ou ganhos genômicos nas regiões dos pontos de quebra cromossômica. Os resultados obtidos na investigação do padrão de metilação dos genes FGFRL1 e SPON2 não permitiram afirmar que uma provável repressão da expressão gênica devido ao imprinting materno e paterno esteja associada às características fenotípicas distintas observadas nas duas pacientes. Embora tenha sido possível a indicação de genes correlacionados ao fenótipo das pacientes, a correlação entre a alteração genética e o fenótipo das mesmas pode depender da ação sinérgica dos mais de 190 genes envolvidos neste rearranjo cromossômico estrutural familiar.

Abstract in English
Structural chromosomal rearrangements are potentially associated with the development of genetic disorders due to disruption, inactivation or gene dosage alterations. The objective of this project was to perform the genomic characterization of a familial structural chromosomal rearrangement involving the short arm of chromosome 4 and the long arm of chromosome 12 in two patients and carriers. The experimental approach involved using a combination of classical cytogenetic techniques (GTG banding), molecular cytogenetics (FISH) and cytogenomics (array-CGH), to provide a diagnostic definition and a better understanding of how changes in the karyotype and genotype may be associated with the phenotype. Six individuals were evaluated, two patients with phenotypic abnormalities, as well as the carriers of an apparently balanced 4p;12q translocation with normal phenotypes. Although the two patients showed a common chromosomal abnormality, the derivative chromosome 4 [der (4)], they presented distinct phenotypic findings. The investigation provided a definition of the diagnosis of 4p16 deletion and trisomy 12qter for the two patients with abnormal phenotypes and a karyotype 46,XX,der(4)t(4;12)(p16;q24.3). In addition a precise definition of the breakpoints at 4p16.3 and 12q24.31->q24.33, and the parental origin of the rearrangement was determined. A precise definition of the cytogenetic diagnosis of four carriers with an apparently balanced translocation and karyotype t(4;12)(4pter->4p16.3::2q24.31->12qter; 12qter 12q24.31->4pter::4p16.3), facilitated the genetic counseling for the family. In both patients, the array-CGH technique (2x400K Platform, Agilent®) detected a subtle difference in size between losses and gains in the chromosomal regions involved in the rearrangement. Patient 1 presented a loss of 2,707,221 bp in the cytoband 4p16.3, and a gain of 12,405,205 bp in 12q24.31->q24.33. Patient 2 had a loss of 2,710,969 bp in 4p16.3 and a gain of 12,393,885 bp in 12q24.31 -> q24.33. Both regions of genomic imbalance included genes that may be relevant to phenotypic findings observed in our patients, including: WHSC1, NELFA, LETM1, FGFRL1 and SPON2. Genomic findings also confirmed the presence of a balanced translocation in four carriers, with no genomic losses and/or gains in the regions of chromosome breakpoints. The results of the investigation of the methylation pattern of FGFRL1 and SPON2 genes could not demonstrate that repression of gene expression due to maternal and paternal imprinting was associated with the distinct phenotypes observed in the two patients. Although it has been possible to indicate genes related to the phenotype of the patients, the correlation between the genetic alteration and phenotype may depend on the synergistic action of multiple genes from more than the 190 involved in this familial chromosomal rearrangement.
