SHOX duplications found in some cases with type I Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome
No full textPurpose: The Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome is defined as congenital aplasia of mullerian ducts derived structures in females with a normal female chromosomal and gonadal sex. Most cases with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome are sporadic, although familial cases have been reported. The genetic basis of Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome is largely unknown and seems heterogeneous, and a small number of cases were found to have mutations in the WNT4 gene. The aim of this study was to identify possible recurrent submicroscopic imbalances in a cohort of familial and sporadic cases with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome. Methods: Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification was used to screen the subtelomeric sequences of all chromosomes in 30 patients with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome (sporadic, n = 27 and familial, n = 3). Segregation analysis and pyrosequencing were applied to validate the MLPA results in the informative family. Results: Partial duplication of the Xpter pseudoautosomal region 1 containing the short stature homeobox (SHOX) gene was detected in five patients with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome (familial, n = 3 and sporadic, n = 2) and not in 53 healthy controls. The duplications were not overlapping, and SHOX was never entirely duplicated. Haplotyping in the informative family revealed that SHOX gene duplication was inherited from the unaffected father and was absent in two healthy sisters. Conclusions: Partial duplication of SHOX gene is found in some cases with both familial and sporadic Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser type I syndrome

Eumerus lyneborgi Ricarte & Hauser & Kinnee & Marcos-García 2020, sp. nov.
No full textRemarks on Eumerus lyneborgi sp. nov. and similar species Eumerus lyneborgi sp. nov. is similar to E. vestitus Bezzi, 1912 in body size and constitution, predominantly pollinose frons, with punctured pollinosity (females), swollen metafemur, with two ventral rows of short black spinae, one antero-apically and other postero-apical, lateral margins of terga III and IV pollinose, and tergum IV widely pollinose posteriorly. Bezzi (1912) described E. vestitus based on males and females from ‘ Guinea Portoguese’ (nowadays, Guinea-Bissau), supposedly the male and three females the authors of the present paper found in the MCSNG collection. These specimens are all labelled as ‘syntypus’ and a female has an additional label of ‘Typus’. Bezzi (1912) did not mention a holotype or type specimen for his new species in the description. Thus, according to articles 73.1.1 and 73.1.2 of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (1999), this ‘Typus’ is not a valid holotype and therefore all specimens are syntypes. In addition, no subsequent type designation for E. vestitus is known to the authors of the present paper. In the past, curators sometimes labelled arbitrarily as ‘Typus’ the best looking specimen within the type series (M.A. Alonso-Zarazaga in lit.), and this is likely to be the case for this ‘Typus’ specimen. Thus, lectotype designation is possible for this nominal species in order to stabilise this species concept, especially because it is a mixed type series and the newly described species in this paper is similar to E. vestitus. Thus, we here designate the male specimen as lectotype (Fig. 9). All other specimens (females) become automatically paralectotypes (Figs 10, 11). All specimens of the type series, except for one are recognised to be conspecific. The outlier specimen (female paralectotype) has (1) denser and longer eye pilosity (eye with very short and scattered pile in the other two females) (Fig. 10C, D), (2) slight but obvious pollinosity surrounding posterior ocelli (this same area is shiny or nearly so in the other two females), (3) individual dots of frontal pollinosity very small (larger in the other females) (Fig. 10A, C), (4) basoflagellomere tapering dorsally for the apical two thirds (for the apical half or less, in the other two females) (Fig. 10C, D), (5) metatibia bumped ventrally (less bumped, tending to straight, in the other two females), (6) apex of metatibia without short black spinae (apex of metatibia with two short black spinae in the other two females) (Fig. 11). This outlier female is similar to the female of E. obliquus (Fabricius 1805) (widespread in Africa) and E. figurans Walker, 1859 (not recorded from Africa). However, it differs from that of E. obliquus in the pollinose vertex (broadly shiny in E. obliquus), wide pollinose posterior margin of scutellum (much narrower to almost absent in E. obliquus), narrow diagonal vittae of terga III and IV (wider in E. obliquus), and shiny posterior margin of tergum IV (extensively pollinose in E. obliquus); and differs from the female of E. figurans in the pollinose vertex and occiput (vertex and occiput shiny in E. figurans), the densely and homogeneously pollinose frons (frons with a medial line of sparser pollinosity in E. figurans), and the short spinae of the anteroapical row of metafemur (longer spinae in E. figurans). The outlier specimen did not key out with Lyneborg’s manuscript key to the Afrotropical species of Eumerus, and might represent an undescribed sister species of E. vestitus. However, we decided not to describe it as a separate taxon due to the absence of other specimens, including males with conspecific morphology. Additional examined material of other Eumerus species.

The male syntype lacks the antennae and the right prolegs, and the head is pasted to thorax in its original position. The female syntype labelled as ‘typus’ lacks the left basoflagellomere, while another female lacks the left metatarsus. There were specimens from Egypt, donated by Becker to Bezzi and found by this latter author that they were erroneously identified as E. obliquus, mentioned in the original description, which we could not locate.
