"Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research is at present a well-known Indian originated scientific journal which started with a humble beginning. I have been associated with this journal since many years. I appreciate the Editor, Dr. Hemant Jain, for his constant effort in bringing up this journal to the present status right from the scratch. The journal is multidisciplinary. It encourages in publishing the scientific articles from postgraduates and also the beginners who start their career. At the same time the journal also caters for the high quality articles from specialty and super-specialty researchers. Hence it provides a platform for the scientist and researchers to publish. The other aspect of it is, the readers get the information regarding the most recent developments in science which can be used for teaching, research, treating patients and to some extent take preventive measures against certain diseases. The journal is contributing immensely to the society at national and international level."

" Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR) is a multi-specialty medical and dental journal publishing high quality research articles in almost all branches of medicine. The quality of printing of figures and tables is excellent and comparable to any International journal. An added advantage is nominal publication charges and monthly issue of the journal and more chances of an article being accepted for publication. Moreover being a multi-specialty journal an article concerning a particular specialty has a wider reach of readers of other related specialties also. As an author and reviewer for several years I find this Journal most suitable and highly recommend this Journal."

Dr. Mamta Gupta,
"It gives me great pleasure to be associated with JCDR, since last 2-3 years. Since then I have authored, co-authored and reviewed about 25 articles in JCDR. I thank JCDR for giving me an opportunity to improve my own skills as an author and a reviewer.
It 's a multispecialty journal, publishing high quality articles. It gives a platform to the authors to publish their research work which can be available for everyone across the globe to read. The best thing about JCDR is that the full articles of all medical specialties are available as pdf/html for reading free of cost or without institutional subscription, which is not there for other journals. For those who have problem in writing manuscript or do statistical work, JCDR comes for their rescue.
The journal has a monthly publication and the articles are published quite fast. In time compared to other journals. The on-line first publication is also a great advantage and facility to review one's own articles before going to print. The response to any query and permission if required, is quite fast; this is quite commendable. I have a very good experience about seeking quick permission for quoting a photograph (Fig.) from a JCDR article for my chapter authored in an E book. I never thought it would be so easy. No hassles.
Reviewing articles is no less a pain staking process and requires in depth perception, knowledge about the topic for review. It requires time and concentration, yet I enjoy doing it. The JCDR website especially for the reviewers is quite user friendly. My suggestions for improving the journal is, more strict review process, so that only high quality articles are published. I find a a good number of articles in Obst. Gynae, hence, a new journal for this specialty titled JCDR-OG can be started. May be a bimonthly or quarterly publication to begin with. Only selected articles should find a place in it.
An yearly reward for the best article authored can also incentivize the authors. Though the process of finding the best article will be not be very easy. I do not know how reviewing process can be improved. If an article is being reviewed by two reviewers, then opinion of one can be communicated to the other or the final opinion of the editor can be communicated to the reviewer if requested for. This will help one’s reviewing skills.
My best wishes to Dr. Hemant Jain and all the editorial staff of JCDR for their untiring efforts to bring out this journal. I strongly recommend medical fraternity to publish their valuable research work in this esteemed journal, JCDR".

"I wish to thank Dr. Hemant Jain, Editor-in-Chief Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR), for asking me to write up few words.
Writing is the representation of language in a textual medium i e; into the words and sentences on paper. Quality medical manuscript writing in particular, demands not only a high-quality research, but also requires accurate and concise communication of findings and conclusions, with adherence to particular journal guidelines. In medical field whether working in teaching, private, or in corporate institution, everyone wants to excel in his / her own field and get recognised by making manuscripts publication.


Authors are the souls of any journal, and deserve much respect. To publish a journal manuscripts are needed from authors. Authors have a great responsibility for producing facts of their work in terms of number and results truthfully and an individual honesty is expected from authors in this regards. Both ways its true "No authors-No manuscripts-No journals" and "No journals–No manuscripts–No authors". Reviewing a manuscript is also a very responsible and important task of any peer-reviewed journal and to be taken seriously. It needs knowledge on the subject, sincerity, honesty and determination. Although the process of reviewing a manuscript is a time consuming task butit is expected to give one's best remarks within the time frame of the journal.
Salient features of the JCDR: It is a biomedical, multidisciplinary (including all medical and dental specialities), e-journal, with wide scope and extensive author support. At the same time, a free text of manuscript is available in HTML and PDF format. There is fast growing authorship and readership with JCDR as this can be judged by the number of articles published in it i e; in Feb 2007 of its first issue, it contained 5 articles only, and now in its recent volume published in April 2011, it contained 67 manuscripts. This e-journal is fulfilling the commitments and objectives sincerely, (as stated by Editor-in-chief in his preface to first edition) i e; to encourage physicians through the internet, especially from the developing countries who witness a spectrum of disease and acquire a wealth of knowledge to publish their experiences to benefit the medical community in patients care. I also feel that many of us have work of substance, newer ideas, adequate clinical materials but poor in medical writing and hesitation to submit the work and need help. JCDR provides authors help in this regards.
Timely publication of journal: Publication of manuscripts and bringing out the issue in time is one of the positive aspects of JCDR and is possible with strong support team in terms of peer reviewers, proof reading, language check, computer operators, etc. This is one of the great reasons for authors to submit their work with JCDR. Another best part of JCDR is "Online first Publications" facilities available for the authors. This facility not only provides the prompt publications of the manuscripts but at the same time also early availability of the manuscripts for the readers.
Indexation and online availability: Indexation transforms the journal in some sense from its local ownership to the worldwide professional community and to the public.JCDR is indexed with Embase & EMbiology, Google Scholar, Index Copernicus, Chemical Abstracts Service, Journal seek Database, Indian Science Abstracts, to name few of them. Manuscriptspublished in JCDR are available on major search engines ie; google, yahoo, msn.
In the era of fast growing newer technologies, and in computer and internet friendly environment the manuscripts preparation, submission, review, revision, etc and all can be done and checked with a click from all corer of the world, at any time. Of course there is always a scope for improvement in every field and none is perfect. To progress, one needs to identify the areas of one's weakness and to strengthen them.
It is well said that "happy beginning is half done" and it fits perfectly with JCDR. It has grown considerably and I feel it has already grown up from its infancy to adolescence, achieving the status of standard online e-journal form Indian continent since its inception in Feb 2007. This had been made possible due to the efforts and the hard work put in it. The way the JCDR is improving with every new volume, with good quality original manuscripts, makes it a quality journal for readers. I must thank and congratulate Dr Hemant Jain, Editor-in-Chief JCDR and his team for their sincere efforts, dedication, and determination for making JCDR a fast growing journal.
Every one of us: authors, reviewers, editors, and publisher are responsible for enhancing the stature of the journal. I wish for a great success for JCDR."

Dr. Shankar P.R.

"On looking back through my Gmail archives after being requested by the journal to write a short editorial about my experiences of publishing with the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR), I came across an e-mail from Dr. Hemant Jain, Editor, in March 2007, which introduced the new electronic journal. The main features of the journal which were outlined in the e-mail were extensive author support, cash rewards, the peer review process, and other salient features of the journal.
Over a span of over four years, we (I and my colleagues) have published around 25 articles in the journal. In this editorial, I plan to briefly discuss my experiences of publishing with JCDR and the strengths of the journal and to finally address the areas for improvement.
My experiences of publishing with JCDR: Overall, my experiences of publishing withJCDR have been positive. The best point about the journal is that it responds to queries from the author. This may seem to be simple and not too much to ask for, but unfortunately, many journals in the subcontinent and from many developing countries do not respond or they respond with a long delay to the queries from the authors 1. The reasons could be many, including lack of optimal secretarial and other support. Another problem with many journals is the slowness of the review process. Editorial processing and peer review can take anywhere between a year to two years with some journals. Also, some journals do not keep the contributors informed about the progress of the review process. Due to the long review process, the articles can lose their relevance and topicality. A major benefit with JCDR is the timeliness and promptness of its response. In Dr Jain's e-mail which was sent to me in 2007, before the introduction of the Pre-publishing system, he had stated that he had received my submission and that he would get back to me within seven days and he did!
Most of the manuscripts are published within 3 to 4 months of their submission if they are found to be suitable after the review process. JCDR is published bimonthly and the accepted articles were usually published in the next issue. Recently, due to the increased volume of the submissions, the review process has become slower and it ?? Section can take from 4 to 6 months for the articles to be reviewed. The journal has an extensive author support system and it has recently introduced a paid expedited review process. The journal also mentions the average time for processing the manuscript under different submission systems - regular submission and expedited review.
Strengths of the journal: The journal has an online first facility in which the accepted manuscripts may be published on the website before being included in a regular issue of the journal. This cuts down the time between their acceptance and the publication. The journal is indexed in many databases, though not in PubMed. The editorial board should now take steps to index the journal in PubMed. The journal has a system of notifying readers through e-mail when a new issue is released. Also, the articles are available in both the HTML and the PDF formats. I especially like the new and colorful page format of the journal. Also, the access statistics of the articles are available. The prepublication and the manuscript tracking system are also helpful for the authors.
Areas for improvement: In certain cases, I felt that the peer review process of the manuscripts was not up to international standards and that it should be strengthened. Also, the number of manuscripts in an issue is high and it may be difficult for readers to go through all of them. The journal can consider tightening of the peer review process and increasing the quality standards for the acceptance of the manuscripts. I faced occasional problems with the online manuscript submission (Pre-publishing) system, which have to be addressed.
Overall, the publishing process with JCDR has been smooth, quick and relatively hassle free and I can recommend other authors to consider the journal as an outlet for their work."

Abstract

Chromosomal analysis is practiced routinely since long time in congenital malformations to find out structural and or numerical chromosomal aberrations. Translocation is one of the structural chromosomal aberrations where exchange of genetic material between the chromosomes is seen because of two breakpoints. On the basis of involvement of type of chromosome, two different types of translocation are defined. A case of two-year-old girl child with the history of developmental delay, generalised hypotonia and recurrent infections was reported whose cytogenetic analysis showed additional genetic material on ‘p’ arm of one chromosome 6. To find out the additional genetic material, parental chromosomal study was done which revealed balanced translocation between ‘q’ arm of chromosome 10 and ‘p’ arm of chromosome 6 and normal chromosomal pattern in father. Balanced translocation in mother gave rise to formation of derivative chromosome 6 which was transmitted to daughter causing partial trisomy of 10q and partial monosomy of 6p. This gain and loss of genetic material could be the cause of phenotypic features. In the current case, karyotyping was an investigation of choice and offering genetic counselling regarding prenatal diagnosis in future pregnancy was a thoughtful step.

Case Report

A two-year-old girl child was referred to Paediatric Department of a tertiary care Hospital for lower respiratory tract infection. Parents gave history of recurrent respiratory infection for which either they used to go to general practitioner or give home remedies like warm water, honey. They were not able to explain the details of medicines given by general practitioner. The parents were phenotypically normal and there was no history of consanguineous marriage. Parents gave history of abortion at four months because of presence of microcephaly and congenital anomalies of kidney. They could not furnish more details of reports of congenital anomalies. Two years after the abortion the girl child was born at term and gave history of cry immediately after birth. She had microcephaly, round and flat face, depressed nasal bridge (Table/Fig 1). She had generalised hypotonia and parents gave history of developmental delay. Parents did not visit any hospital after her birth for developmental delay. There was no eye to eye contact. To find out the cause of developmental delay, the blood sample was sent to cytogenetic laboratory of Department of Anatomy. Chromosomal analysis was conducted by a) taking a culture of peripheral blood by using Phytohemagglutinin M Form (PHA) Gibco®, Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) 1640 media and Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS) (Gibco®) at 37°C for 72 hours; b) harvesting by using colchicine solution, Potassium chloride (KCl) and fixative; c) staining and banding by using Giemsa and trypsin solution; d) analysis by using Metasystem software and current guidelines from International System for Human Cytogenomic Nomenclature (ISCN) (1).

Chromosomal analysis revealed that there is extra genetic material on ‘p’ arm of chromosome 6 (Table/Fig 2). To trace the origin of extra genetic material parental chromosomal study was advised. It showed normal male chromosomal pattern for father but mother showed balanced translocation between ‘p’ arm of 6 and ‘q’ arm of chromosome 10. The mother’s karyotype was 46, XX, t (6;10) (p23;q24) and girls karyotype was 46, XX, add (6) (p23) (Table/Fig 2). Balanced translocation in mother gave rise to formation of derivative chromosome 6 which was transmitted to daughter causing partial trisomy of 10q and partial monosomy of 6p. Unfortunately, the girl child died because of respiratory distress and so other details could not be found and molecular techniques could not be applied.

Discussion

Translocation is a chromosomal aberration where changing location of part of or whole chromosome, joining other chromosome and resulting in formation or not formation of new chromosome with or without genetic loss occurs. Robertsonian and reciprocal are the two types of translocations where break points are seen in homologous or non homologous acrocentric chromosomes and non homologous chromosomes with at least one of them being a non acrocentric chromosomes and interchange of chromosomal fragments between them respectively (2),(3). Unless one or both of the chromosomal breakpoints involve an important functional gene, these balanced chromosomal re-arrangements would not produce a significant phenotypic effect either (4). All the chromosomes in human body are prone to break and join with other chromosomes leading to translocation and this activity is unplanned (4). Person will be phenotypically normal where there is no loss of genetic material. Breaking and joining of part of chromosome results into formation of two derivative chromosomes with no gain or loss of genetic material.

Balanced reciprocal translocations usually get diagnosed when couples present with infertility, recurrent abortions and or history of child with congenital anomalies. Recognition of carrier status in balanced translocation is crucial to know as formation of possibility of defective gametes in the translocation carrier rises which may be responsible for recurrent abortions or congenital anomalies (5). Formation of trisomy or monosomy of part of chromosome may lead to congenital malformations and abnormal phenotypic features. Chromosomal translocations are among the most common genetic abnormalities in humans (6). The incidence of balanced translocation is 0.29% (7), 0.6% in infertile couples, 9.2% in patients with recurrent abortions (5) and 0.08-0.3% in general population (8). Individuals carrying balanced translocation may have offspring with unbalanced karyotype. This may result in symptoms ranging from mild to severe mental retardation with multiple congenital defects depending on the chromosomes involved (9).

Presence of partial trisomy of chromosome 10 and partial monosomy of chromosome 6 together is rare. In the present case additional genetic material on ‘p’ arm of one chromosome 6 in two years old girl child with the history of developmental delay, generalised hypotonia and recurrent infections is discussed. This chromosomal aberration is resulted from maternal t (6;10) (p23;q24) which generated partial trisomy 10(q24qter) and partial monosomy 6(p23pter) in the child. There may be no loss or gain of gene so mother did not show any clinical features and or motor involvement, but at least one breakage in the chromosome must have occurred in the process of translocation which may have resulted into loss of some nucleotides causing alteration in normal gene. Some change at the functional level of gene is expected as mother gives history of first abortion. It is observed that faulty oocyte with abnormal genetic makeup may be resulted in case of female carriers of chromosomal translocation due to progression in the process of oogenesis which is devoid of an arrest in meiosis and this may lead to aneuploidies in the conceptus (10). There may be higher chance of formation of unbalanced gametes which may end up in abortion or child with developmental delay. Production of normal or faulty gametes depends upon chromosome and breakpoint of chromosome involved (11). In the present case, the child had inherited derivative chromosome 6 and normal chromosome 10 from mother. The derivative chromosome 6 was formed by fusing 6p and 10q. This fusion occurs at chromosome 6 at 6 (p23) positions which results in partial monosomy of 6 (p23pter) and partial trisomy of 10(q24qter). Combined effect of the excess amount of gene of 10(q24qter) (distal trisomy of 10q) and deletion of gene of 6 (p23) may be responsible for child’s developmental delay and other phenotypic features.

Partial monosomy of 6p is also rare to see. Partial trisomy of long arm of chromosome 10 was first described in 1965 (12). Monosomy and or trisomy observed may be because of translocation of chromosome of 10, 6 and other autosomes (13). It is a rare condition which is associated with variety of clinical features. In the current case it is formed because of inheritance of derivative chromosome 6 from maternal balanced translocation t (6;10). During reciprocal translocation between p arm of chromosome 6 and q arm of chromosome 10 being formed, the re-arrangement may get generated in terminal part of 6p and deletion of 6p23 may occur which may lead to monosomy of 6p23 as one set of 6p23 is now present on the other normal chromosome 6.

Location of breakpoint in chromosome and alteration in the gene content during reciprocal translocation decides the clinical features. It is observed that deletions of 6(p23pter) is associated with microcephaly, genital anomalies, language impairment, and delayed motor development (14), dysmorphic features like presence of epicanthic fold, low set ear, deformed ear, high arched palate, flat occiput (15) hypotonia, developmental delay, eye abnormalities, defects in heart and kidney (16). Plenty of genes are located on chromosome band 10q24 which are seen linked to developmental and neurological disorders, tumourigenesis and hormone metabolism (17). Developmental delay to varying degree is present and most cases also display somatic growth delay. Patients with trisomy 10(q24qter) tend to have more severe clinical features such as heart or renal abnormalities (14). In the current case, the child showed similar features of developmental delay, hypotonia and dysmorphic features like round and flat face, depressed nasal bridge. The presence of clinical features is combined effect of partial trisomy of chromosome 10 and partial monosomy of chromosome 6. Similar to the present case, balanced translocation between 6p23 and 10q24 was documented in mother and an unbalanced rearrangement, der(6) t(6:10) (p23;q24) mat, in the 30-day-old male child. The child has inherited a derivative chromosome 6 with partial deletion of 6(p23pter) and partial trisomy 10(q24qter), which has resulted in fusion of genes of two different chromosomes. Clinical features like depressed nasal bridge, high forehead, agenesis of left ear, atrial septal defect, craniosynostosis and growth retardation were observed in deletion of ‘p’ arm of chromosome 6 (15). In most of the cases where trisomy 10q is seen because of translocation of 10q is derived from father. It is observed that life is more compatible with syndromes where paternal reciprocal translocation is seen and this may be because of withdrawal of imprinting effect (18). In the present case, the inheritance is from maternal side and early death of patient may follow the imprinting effect which shows non compatible with life.

Molecular karyotype of the patient is useful to identify involvement of exact gene and co-relate with phenotypic features. In the current case, molecular study was not possible because of early death of the patient. Parents with autosomal balanced translocation should be advised to take genetic counseling and importance of prenatal diagnosis should be explained in detail to reduce further incidence in the family.

Conclusion

It is essential to conjecture that the clinical expression of the child was because of extragenetic material from trisomy of 10q and monosomy of 6p, which was resulted from balanced translocation in mother. Felicitous genetic counselling regarding prenatal diagnosis in future pregnancy to prevent recurrence should be emphasised.
