Ring chromosome 6: report of a patient and literature review. 1987

D Chitayat, and S Y Hahm, and M A Iqbal, and H M Nitowsky

A patient with ring chromosome 6 had most of the manifestations previously reported in this syndrome and also had albinoid fundi and unilateral aniridia, findings not previously described. In most peripheral leukocyte metaphases analyzed, one chromosome 6 was replaced by a monocentric ring chromosome with deletion of the 6p and 6q. Fifteen other patients with a ring chromosome 6 have been reported. The most frequent findings were mental retardation, prenatal and postnatal failure, epicanthal folds, flat nasal bridge, short neck, apparently low-set and/or malformed ears, microphthalmia, and micrognathia. Studies of coagulation Factors XII and XIII and of the P blood group for possible assignment on distal 6p and 6q did not provide evidence for localization of the genes for these factors on the pter----p24 part of chromosome 6.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007223	Infant	A child between 1 and 23 months of age.	Infants
D007498	Iris	The most anterior portion of the uveal layer, separating the anterior chamber from the posterior. It consists of two layers - the stroma and the pigmented epithelium. Color of the iris depends on the amount of melanin in the stroma on reflection from the pigmented epithelium.
D008297	Male		Males
D008607	Intellectual Disability	Subnormal intellectual functioning which originates during the developmental period. This has multiple potential etiologies, including genetic defects and perinatal insults. Intelligence quotient (IQ) scores are commonly used to determine whether an individual has an intellectual disability. IQ scores between 70 and 79 are in the borderline range. Scores below 67 are in the disabled range.

D010127	P Blood-Group System	A blood group related to the ABO, Lewis and I systems. At least five different erythrocyte antigens are possible, some very rare, others almost universal. Multiple alleles are involved in this blood group.	Blood-Group System, P,Blood-Group Systems, P,P Blood Group System,P Blood-Group Systems,System, P Blood-Group,Systems, P Blood-Group

D002896	Chromosomes, Human, Pair 6	A specific pair GROUP C CHROMSOMES of the human chromosome classification.	Chromosome 6
D005174	Factor XII	Stable blood coagulation factor activated by contact with the subendothelial surface of an injured vessel. Along with prekallikrein, it serves as the contact factor that initiates the intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. Kallikrein activates factor XII to XIIa. Deficiency of factor XII, also called the Hageman trait, leads to increased incidence of thromboembolic disease. Mutations in the gene for factor XII that appear to increase factor XII amidolytic activity are associated with HEREDITARY ANGIOEDEMA TYPE III.

D005176	Factor XIII	A fibrin-stabilizing plasma enzyme (TRANSGLUTAMINASES) that is activated by THROMBIN and CALCIUM to form FACTOR XIIIA. It is important for stabilizing the formation of the fibrin polymer (clot) which culminates the coagulation cascade.

D005654	Fundus Oculi	The concave interior of the eye, consisting of the retina, the choroid, the sclera, the optic disk, and blood vessels, seen by means of the ophthalmoscope. (Cline et al., Dictionary of Visual Science, 4th ed)	Fundus of the Eye,Ocular Fundus,Fundus, Ocular
