- CHROMOSOME #18 -
ABNORMAL
In general 70%
of sSMC carriers are clinically normal.
The figures listed above
are based on the bias, that mainly
clinically aberrant cases are studied and reported
in literature!

| uncomplicated pregnancy of 37 weeks, weight at birth of 2670 grams with a single umbilical artery; in first week diagnosed: anal atresia, dysplastic lumbar and sacral vertebrae, penoscrotal hypospadia, cryptorchism on both sides, bifid scrotum, ureteral flow abnormality (dilatation of the higher urinary tract caused by vesico ureteral reflux, trabeculated bladder), radial dysplasia and thumb hypoplasia on the right upper extremity and preaxial polydactyly of the left hand. The diagnosis VACTERL-association was made, although there were no abnormalities of heart, trachea and esophagus. The urinary flow problems resulted in frequent infections and some episodes of urosepsis, finally causing chronic renal insufficiency. In his teens he underwent cholecystectomy because of an abnormal gallbladder full of stones. A pancreas fissum was seen. Neurologic investigation showed no signs of tethered cord syndrome. School performances were normal, there were no reasons for IQ testing. As an adult his height was on the 3rd centile and his headcircumference was normal. | ||||||||

and IQ 44 with autistic features at age 6
years. At 9 years add. short stature at 125
cm (<3rd centile), normal weight (21.5
kg; 10th centile), and microcephaly (OFC 49
cm; <3rd centile). He had a permanent
single median maxillary central incisor,
long cupped ears with large lobes, and short
neck. Also small penis, cryptorchidism, flat
feet, frontotemporal atrophy, and large
cisterna magna, bifid pelvis on the left
kidney; at age 17 years severe sleep apnea.
At 23 years, he suffered from severe sleep
apnea, obesity, and idiopathic leg edema
treated with antidiuretics. Height 155
cm(<3rd centile) weight was 90 kg
(>97th centile), cognitively impaired,
but was well-mannered and very kooperative
with a friendly attitude. mother phenotypically normal except for a double ureter and bifid renal pelvis (as in son) |

According to {32} i(18p) commonly form through meiosis II non-disjunction immediately followed by meiotic or early post-meiotic mitotic miss-division at the centromere; the i(18p) are preferentially of maternal origin. Exceptions are familial forms like described in {35, 37, 39, 43}.
