Mosaic variegated aneuploidy syndrome 1

Mosaic variegated aneuploidy is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by mosaic aneuploidies, predominantly trisomies and monosomies, involving multiple different chromosomes and tissues. The proportion of aneuploid cells varies but is usually more than 25% and is substantially greater than in normal individuals. Affected individuals typically present with severe intrauterine growth retardation and microcephaly. Eye anomalies, mild dysmorphism, variable developmental delay, and a broad spectrum of additional congenital abnormalities and medical conditions may also occur. The risk of malignancy is high, with rhabdomyosarcoma, Wilms tumor, and leukemia reported in several cases (summary by Hanks et al., 2004). Genetic Heterogeneity of Mosaic Variegated Aneuploidy Syndrome See also MVA2 (614114), caused by mutation in the CEP57 gene (607951) on chromosome 11q21, and MVA3 (617598), caused by mutation in the TRIP13 gene (604507) on chromosome 5p15.
