This case report adds to the literature by describing clonal telomeric associations in a case of syndrome cardiac myxoma.
Telomeric associations in syndrome myxoma extend sparse cytogenetic reports; hypothesis-generating and leaves clinical role open.
We report on the cytogenetic analysis of a case of cardiac myxoma of the "syndrome myxoma" type, in which clonal telomeric associations between chromosomes 13 and 15, as well as nonclonal telomeric associations between chromosomes 12 and 17 and between chromosome 2 and an unidentified chromosome were observed. Nonclonal structural abnormalities were also present. This is the second reported case of cytogenetic abnormalities of syndrome cardiac myxoma, and the fourth case in which telomeric associations have been described.
