Estudo Citogenético de Indivíduos Afetados por Deficiência Mental em Três APAES da Região de Ribeirão Preto

Abstract in Portuguese
Em estudos etiológicos sobre a deficiência mental (DM), as anomalias cromossômicas, tanto numéricas quanto estruturais, são fatores que apresentam frequência relativa significante. O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar as frequências e os tipos de anomalias cromossômicas em afetados por DM nas APAEs (Associação de Pais e Amigos dos Deficientes) de Batatais, Altinópolis e Serrana, objetivando conhecer melhor a contribuição destas anomalias na DM nessa região, caracterizando os tipos e as freqüências das aberrações cromossômicas observadas e compará-las entre as APAEs. Pacientes com suspeita de anomalias cromossômicas foram selecionados para o estudo. O critério usado para a seleção da amostra foi a realização do cariótipo em todos os afetados por DM com anomalias estruturais maiores e/ou menores. A análise citogenética foi feita através de cultura de linfócitos do sangue periférico e a coloração utilizada foi banda G, sendo analisadas 20 metáfases por paciente. Dos 505 indivíduos avaliados nas três APAES, 265 realizaram estudo citogenético, sendo encontradas 61 alterações cromossômicas (12,1% do total e 23,0% dos selecionados para cariótipo). Na APAE de Batatais, dos 305 indivíduos avaliados, 174 realizaram cariótipo, sendo encontradas 33 (10,8% do total) anomalias cromossômicas. Em Altinópolis, dos 107 indivíduos avaliados, 54 realizaram cariótipo, sendo observados 16 cariótipos anômalos (14,9% do total). Na APAE de Serrana, dos 93 indivíduos avaliados, 37 realizaram cariótipo, sendo encontradas 12 (12,9% do total) anomalias cromossômicas. Esses resultados demonstram que anomalias cromossômicas contribuem significativamente para a etiologia da DM e que a citogenética clássica possui importantes implicações na prática médica para o diagnóstico dos indivíduos afetados, assim como, para o aconselhamento genético das famílias. Além disso, observa-se que a APAE de Batatais, por apresentar uma porcentagem menor de indivíduos afetados por DM grave, 60,7%, possui uma menor incidência de anomalias cromossômicas quando comparada as APAEs de Altinópolis e Serrana que apresentam uma frequência de 87,8% e 83,9% de indivíduos com DM grave, respectivamente, indicando que alterações cromossômicas são mais frequentes em indivíduos afetados por DM grave.

Abstract in English
In etiological studies on mental retardation (MR), the chromosomal abnormalities, both numerical and structural, are factors that have significant relative frequencies. The objective was to study the frequencies and types of chromosomal abnormalities in patients affected by MR in APAEs (Associação de Pais e Amigos dos Deficientes) of Batatais, Altinópolis and Serrana. This aims to better understand the contribution of these abnormalities to MR in these regions, and thus characterizing the types and frequencies of chromosomal aberrations observed in order to compare them between APAEs. Patients suspected of chromosomal abnormalities were selected for the study. The criterion used for sample selection was the achievement of the karyotype of all patients affected by MR with major and/or minor structural abnormalities. Cytogenetic analysis was performed on cultures of peripheral blood lymphocytes, where the band G was used for staining. Twenty metaphases were analyzed per patient. Of the 505 individuals evaluated in three APAEs, a cytogenetic study was performed on 265 patients, and 61 chromosomal abnormalities were found (12.1% of the total and 23.0% of the selected karyotypes). In APAE of Batatais, karyotypes were performed on 174 of the 305 subjects studied, and we found 33 chromosomal abnormalities (10.8% of total). In Altinópolis, 54 karyotypes were performed out of the 107 subjects studied, and we observed 16 abnormal karyotypes (14.9% of total). In APAE Serrana, 37 karyotypes were performed out of the 93 subjects studied, and 12 chromosomal abnormalities (12.9% of total) were found. These results show that chromosomal abnormalities contribute significantly to the etiology of MR and that classical cytogenetics have important implications in medical practice for diagnosis of affected individuals as well as for genetic counseling of the families. Moreover, it is noted that in the APAE of Batatais, because of the smaller percentage of individuals affected by severe MR, 60.7% have a lower incidence of chromosomal abnormalities when compared to the APAEs of Altinópolis and Serrana which have frequencies of 87.8% and 83.9% of individuals with severe MR, respectively. This indicates that chromosomal abnormalities are more frequent in individuals affected by severe MR.
