Abstract

Recombinant chromosome 4 syndrome (rec 4 syndrome) is a rare genetic disorder, predominately resulting from a parental pericentric inversion of chromosome 4. To date, a total of 18 cases of rec (4) syndrome were published in literature. We report the first kindred of rec (4) syndrome analyzed using copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq). A woman with two adverse fetal outcomes was described in the present study. The first fetus presented with severe intrauterine growth restriction, hyposarca, hydrothorax and ascites. The CNV-seq revealed a dup 4q and del 4p. The second fetus presented with cardiovascular disease of ventricular septal defect, overriding aorta and persistent trunk. The CNV-seq revealed a dup 4p and del 4q. We collected 18 rec (4) cases through literature review. Genotype-phenotype correlation analysis was also performed. Recombinant 4 syndrome is a rare genetic disorder. It should be divided into two categories according to the alternative recombinant types. The clinical manifestations of rec (4) cases with dup 4q and del 4p are consistent with the Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome. For cases harboring dup 4p and del 4q, the high incidence of congenital heart disease is prominent.
