Presentation
Follow-up clinical management recommendations are presented that can be used when a mosaic variant is unexpectedly found in the peripheral blood. [invitae.com]
Additionally, what I have presented here is a very simplified explanation of a very complex process. [mykoweb.com]
When a person has extra or missing chromosomes in some cells and other cells with a different number of chromosomes, the phenomenon of numerical mosaicism is present. [evolvegene.com]
Each thus validated candidate gene will then be sequenced in depth in additional patients presenting a similar or overlapping clinical picture. This project will benefit from the experience of Pr. [gad-bfc.org]
Treatment is based on the signs and symptoms present in each person. [1] [2] [3] Last updated: 1/18/2015 [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Lymphedema
Syndrome and Mosaic Turner Syndrome Signs of Turner syndrome and Mosaic Turner syndrome can be similar: Height usually under 5 feet Droopy (heavy) eyelids (ptosis) Differences in ear shape and position Webbed neck (extra skin) Arms or feet that are puffy (lymphedema [massgeneral.org]
Signs and symptoms before birth include lymphedema. Lymphedema happens when fluid is not properly transported around the organs of the fetal body, and excess fluid leaks into the surrounding tissue, resulting in swelling. [medicalnewstoday.com]
- Developmental Disorder
Pallister-Killian mosaic syndrome is a developmental disorder that affects many parts of the body. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
- Coarctation of the Aorta
About 1 in 10 girls with TS is born with coarctation of the aorta. This means the main artery that leaves the heart is narrowed. This problem sometimes needs to be fixed with surgery. Girls with TS generally have normal intelligence. [urmc.rochester.edu]
Cardiovascular
- Hypertension
High blood pressure, or hypertension, is more likely with TS. Other problems Other possible complications include: Diabetes : This is more likely among older women with TS who are overweight, compared with other women of the same age and weight. [medicalnewstoday.com]
While pregnancies with prenatally diagnosed trisomy 16 mosaicism are at increased risk of complications (poor growth, maternal hypertension, and fetal malformations) due to placental trisomy or low-level trisomy in the fetus, it is truly remarkable how [what-when-how.com]
They performed a heart cath and the results came back that Lane’s pulmonary hypertension was too high and they couldn’t risk doing the surgery on him. [brandonsmt18journey.com]
Jaw & Teeth
- Tooth Loss
Tooth loss : This can result from poor or abnormal tooth development. The shape of the mouth and palate increases the chance of overcrowded and poorly aligned teeth. [medicalnewstoday.com]
- High Arched Palate
Some affected children are born with an opening in the roof of the mouth ( cleft palate ) or a high arched palate. Most children with Pallister-Killian mosaic syndrome have sparse hair on their heads, particularly around the temples. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
Musculoskeletal
- Osteoporosis
Estrogen and progesterone replacement therapy will enable sexual development and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Blood tests can show how much hormone the patient is producing naturally. [medicalnewstoday.com]
- Short Hands
Newborns with TS may have swollen hands and feet. [medicalnewstoday.com]
Face, Head & Neck
- Wide Neck
Girls with TS often have: Puffy hands and feet at birth Wide neck with folds of skin down the sides of neck (webbed neck) Short height A low hairline at the back of the neck Feeding problems as a baby Small differences in the shape and position of the [urmc.rochester.edu]
If an infant has a wide or webbed neck, a broad chest, and widely spaced nipples, or if, as a girl grows, she has a short stature and undeveloped ovaries, TS may be present. [medicalnewstoday.com]
Breast
- Widely Spaced Nipples
If an infant has a wide or webbed neck, a broad chest, and widely spaced nipples, or if, as a girl grows, she has a short stature and undeveloped ovaries, TS may be present. [medicalnewstoday.com]

A diagnosis of mosaicism may cause confusion and uncertainty. A genetic counselor may help answer any questions about diagnosis and testing. There is currently no known way to prevent mosaicism. [medlineplus.gov]
And as one might expect, this proliferation of names has long been a source of confusion. We’ve been consulting with our Professional Advisory Board for a sensible naming convention. [dup15q.org]
Unfortunately, multiple terms are used to describe conditions with pigmentary mosaicism, and to avoid confusion, we suggest using the most accurate term, namely, pigmentary mosaicism. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
Treatment
Treatment Turner syndrome is a genetic condition with no cure, but treatment may help resolve issues with short stature, sexual development, and learning difficulties. [medicalnewstoday.com]
Treatment is based on the signs and symptoms present in each person. [1] [2] [3] Last updated: 1/18/2015 [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
At the visit, write down the name of a new diagnosis, and any new medicines, treatments, or tests. Also write down any new instructions your provider gives you for your child. [urmc.rochester.edu]
Treatment will depend on the type and severity of the disorder. You may need less intense treatment if only some of the cells are abnormal. How well you do depends on which organs and tissues are affected (for example, the brain or heart). [medlineplus.gov]
Prognosis
Scientists are very enthusiastic about the discovery of genetic mosaic in brain, but Mike McConnell is cautious about the prognosis of finding remedy to mental diseases based on his findings. [aboutislam.net]
Prognosis The prognosis for an individual with MVA syndrome is based on the malformations present in the individual. [atlasgeneticsoncology.org]
In fact, most cases of mosaicism, even when detected in AF cultures, will have a good prognosis (see e.g., Hsu et al., 1997; Wallerstein et al., 2000). [what-when-how.com]
This example highlights that genetic mechanisms for a tumor phenotype may be varied, with implications for screening, diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic management. [genomemedicine.biomedcentral.com]

There is also evidence for the involvement of maternal cells in the etiology of neonatal or juvenile autoimmune disorders (Stevens et al., 2003). [what-when-how.com]
These parent-of-origin effects, together with the finding of paternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 11p15 in 20% of BWS cases, suggests that abnormal genomic imprinting might play an important role in the etiology of BWS. [elsevier.es]
The wide range of this result confirms the earlier mentioned and important point, that the etiology of pigmentary mosaicism is heterogeneous and complex and should not be considered distinct syndromes despite similarities in the clinical picture. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

Experts don’t know how to prevent the chromosome error that causes TS. It often happens by chance during conception. It does not often run in families. [urmc.rochester.edu]
