Genetic analysis of partial duplication of the long arm of chromosome 16.
Article in BMC medical genomics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPure partial trisomy 16q12.1q22.1 is a rare chromosome copy number variant (CNV). The primary clinical phenotypes associated with this syndrome include abnormal facial morphology, global developmental delay (GDD), short stature, and reported predisposing factors for atypical behavior, autism, the development of learning disabilities, and neuropsychiatric disorders. The dosage-sensitive genes associated with partial trisomy are not disclosed preventing to establish a genotype-phenotype correlation.
methodsWe report a case of a Chinese patient diagnosed with GDD and an abnormal facial shape, who was found to have partial trisomy 16 through karyotyping and high-throughput sequencing analysis. Karyotype and CNV tracing analyses were also conducted on the biological parents of the patient to assess for any chromosomal structural abnormalities. Additionally, we included 29 patients with pure partial trisomy 16q, reported in the DECIPHER database and the literature. We and performed a genotype-phenotype correlation analysis.
resultsThe proband, a 2-year-old female, was found to have a de novo 21.96 Mb duplication located between 16q12.1q22.1, with no other deletions observed on other chromosomes, indicating a pure partial trisomy of 16q. Through genotype and phenotype analysis of 29 individuals, we found that patients with the duplicated region located at the distal region of 16q may exhibit more severe symptoms than those with duplication at the proximal region; however, no relationship was identified between phenotype and the size of the duplicated segment.
conclusionWe report, for the first time, a patient with partial trisomy 16q validated by multiple genetic tests, including CNV-seq, whole exome sequencing (WES), and karyotyping. It is speculated that partial trisomy of 16q may be associated with continuous gene duplication. However, functional studies are necessary to identify the causative gene or critical region linked to duplication syndrome of chromosome 16q.
