1994;37(1):30-32. Extensive gene searches have been successful in identifying more than 30 genes in the deleted segment. A large number of clinical findings have been reported in affected patients, including cardiac defects, characteristic facial features, thymic hypoplasia, cleft palate, hypoparathyroidism, learning difficulties and psychiatric disorders. There has only been one case of interstitial deletion of 2p24.2–2p25.1 and three cases of 2p23.3–2p25.1 described in the literature. 2004;103(5):385-387. [4], AS is a severe debilitating neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by mental retardation, speech impairment, seizures, motor dysfunction, and a high prevalence of autism. Curr Opin Pediatr. We report a further case with a paternally derived de novo interstitial deletion of chromosome 2q14.1q21.

In the line-up: deleted genes associated with DiGeorge/22q11.2 deletion syndrome: are they all suspects? Pediatr Neurol. Genet. The second frequent genetic abnormality (~ 25–30% of cases) is maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 15. J Med Genet 1999;36:233-236. Editor—Reports of interstitial deletions involving the long arm of chromosome 2 are uncommon.1-10 Among these, there are only four which involve the region q14q21. A 3 Mb deletion in 14q12 causes severe mental retardation, mild facial dysmorphisms and Rett-like features. Epub 2016 Jan 7. Partial monosomy of chromosome 2. There is wide evidence that the WHS core phenotype (growth delay, intellectual disability, seizures, and distinctive craniofacial features) is due to haploinsufficiency of several closely linked genes as opposed to a single gene. Thank you for visiting nature.com. Case presentation: We present a 3-month-old male patient with dysmorphic features and congenital heart defect associated with a small interstitial deletion of chromosome 14q, identified by cytogenetic analysis as 46,XY,del(14)(q11q12). Jap J Human Genet 30, 297–305 (1985). 21. 2 Deletions from 6q23 or 6q24, interstitial or to the end of the chromosome A chromosome 6q deletion means that part of one of the body’s chromosomes has been lost or deleted.

Jpn. 8. For the genes affected in PWS, it is the maternal copy that is usually imprinted (and thus is silenced), while the mutated paternal copy is not functional. 1984.Cytogenet. 15. 2016;170(7):1884-1888. doi: 10.1002/ajmg.a.37691.

Structural anomalies associated with partial 2p monosomy are rare. and Pantano, A.M. 1984. McConnell, T.S., Kornfeld, M., McClellan, G., and Aase, J. 5p deletions, whether terminal or interstitial, occur at different breakpoints; the chromosomal basis generally consists of a deletion on the short arm of chromosome 5. Dysmorphic features included microcephaly, broad nasal bridge, micrognathia, large and poorly folded auricular lobes and long digits. A comprehensive evaluation and follow-up program is necessary for patients with 22q11DS. 17. PWS is frequently found to be the reason for secondary obesity due to early onset hyperphagia - the abnormal increase in appetite for consumption of food. Papa FT, Mencarelli MA, Caselli R, et al.

Interstitial deletion 2q31-q33.Am. 19: 489. Genet. The paternal origin of the genetic material that is affected in the syndrome is important because the particular region of chromosome 15 involved is subject to parent-of-origin imprinting, meaning that for a number of genes in this region, only one copy of the gene is expressed while the other is silenced through imprinting. Govaerts L, Toorman J, Blij-Philipsen MV, Smeets D. Another patient with a deletion 14q11.2q13. 13. This allele includes the proposed candidate genes LEMT1 and WHSC1.
