t(1;18)(q32.1;q22.1) associated with genitourinary malformations

Clin Genet. 1998 Oct;54(4):330-3. doi: 10.1034/j.1399-0004.1998.5440411.x.

Abstract

We report a male infant who has impaired penile development, hypospadias, and mild developmental delay with a 46,XY,t(1;18)(q32.1;q22.1) karyotype. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) was performed to more precisely map the translocation breakpoint. The translocation breakpoint maps to a region that has been implicated in genitourinary malformations in the 18q- syndrome. This case report suggests that a gene involved in genitourinary development maps at or near the chromosome 18 translocation breakpoint.
