ABSTRACT
Shwachman-Diamond syndrome is a rare genetic disorder of unknown pathogenesis involving exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and hematological and skeletal abnormalities. There is broad clinical variability; the extent of heterogeneity is unknown but comparisons within a large cohort of patients show no striking differences between patients of families with single or multiple affected offspring. Segregation analysis of a cohort of 69 families has suggested an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. A single constitutional de novo chromosome rearrangement was reported in a Japanese patient involving a balanced translocation, t(6;12)(q16.2;q21.2), thereby suggesting possible loci for a genetic defect. Evenly spaced microsatellite markers spanning 26-32 cM intervals from D6S1056 to D6S304 and D12S375 to D12S346 were analyzed for linkage in members of 13 Shwachman-Diamond syndrome families with two or three affected children. Two-point lod scores were calculated for each marker under assumptions of recessive inheritance and complete penetrance. Negative lod scores indicated exclusion of both chromosome regions. Further, affected sibs were discordant for inheritance of chromosomes in most families based on constructed haplotypes. The cytogenetic abnormality is not associated with most cases of Shwachman-Diamond syndrome.
