t(1;18)(q32.1;q22.1) associated with genitourinary malformations

Abstract
We report a male infant who has impaired penile development, hypospadias, and mild developmental delay with a 46,XY,t(1;18)(q32.1; q22.1) karyotype. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) was performed to more precisely map the translocation breakpoint. The translocation breakpoint maps to a region that has been implicated in genitourinary malformations in the 18q‐ syndrome. This case report suggests that a gene involved in genitourinary development maps at or near the chromosome 18 translocation breakpoint.
