Three patients with accessory small ring chromosomes derived
from chromosome 1 are presented together with additional clinical details and cytogenetic analyses of a previously reported patient. Cytogenetic analysis was undertaken by FISH using a reverse painting probe generated from one of the patients by microdissection of the r(1)
chromosome and with a BAC923C6 which maps to 1p12. Results indicated
that patients with r(1) chromosomes consisting of 1q12 heterochromatin
and short arm pericentric euchromatin which extends to at least the
BAC923C6 were associated with a normal or mild phenotype. Patients with
abnormal phenotypes possessed two types of rings. One patient had
evidence for contiguous pericentric short arm euchromatin which
extended from the centromere to beyond the BAC923C6. Two patients
showed molecular cytogenetic results which were compatible with
non-contiguous chromosome 1 euchromatin. The diversity of origin of
r(1)s will hamper attempts to define phenotype/genotype relationships.
