A 3-year-old Libyan boy with the XXXXY syndrome is described. MRI examination of the brain showed hypoplasia of the corpus callosum. He had growth retardation and endocrine studies demonstrated growth hormone (GH) deficiency. Derrnatoglyphic pattern was different from previous reports. At histologic
The type IA of the isolated deficiencies (ID) of growth (HGH) and placental lactogen (HPL) hormones are frequently the consequence of deletions in their respective genes. To facilitate the diagnosis of these cases, we developed a rapid method for detecting deletions of the genes involved based on th
