Chromosome Anomaly Collection
Submission Form
This
form has been designed for those who wish to contribute further
examples of cytogenetically visible abnormalities without phenotypic
effect to the Collection. Note that the Collection is concentrating
on cases of unbalanced chromosome abnormalitites (UBCAs) without
phenotypic effect that have been directly transmitted from
parents to children. These should include cases where the proband
is abnormal and the parents normal. Further examples of transmitted
imbalances with mild phenotypic consequences in both offspring
and parents can, nevertheless, be accepted. Details of novel
euchromatic variants would also be welcome.
Information is required as follows:
1. Karyotype including identity of chromosome(s) involved and the extent of
the imbalance(s).
2. Details of how the imbalance has been investigated and confirmed using fluorescence
in situ hybridisation (FISH), array CGH, molecular genetic analysis or other
techniques.
3. The mode of ascertainment including full details of the reason(s) for which
the family were first referred.
4. A pedigree from which the mode of transmission and number of carriers can
be determined.
5. Reference to any poster or paper which has already included the submitted
family.
6. The identity of the contributing genetic centre and a responsible contact
individual.
7. Consent from a representative member of the family to include these details
on the Register anonymously.
8. Wherever possible, the proband, parents and chromosomally normal members
of the family should have been examined by a clinical geneticist or physician
with special training in genetic conditions.

enquiries about a particular family to the contributing
genetic centre if appropriate.
