A 12-year-old boy is described with multiple anomalies and a de novo terminal deletion of 17p13. Based on clinical examination, the Miller-Dieker syndrome was diagnosed.
We studied the pedigrees of 14 families segregating a reciprocal translocation with one breakpoint in chromosome 17p13 and the other in the distal region of another autosome. All 14 were ascertained on the basis of an affected index case: 13 had Miller-Dieker syndrome (MDS) and one had dup(17p). In
