We report on two patients with rare 6q duplications. The karyotype of patient 1 is 46,XY,dup(6)(q21q23.3). The karyotype of patient 2 is 46,XX,dup(6)(q21.15q23.3). These two patients have some nonspecific physical findings in common including a depressed nasal bridge, epicanthal folds, mild heart defects, and developmental delay, but each had other congenital anomalies.

SUMMARY: When two powerful rival families of the spacefaring merchant race called the Tizarin are to be joined through marriage, theU.S.S. Enterpriseβ’ is chosen as the site for the wedding. Though Captain Picard is pleased by the happy duty, his pleasure is cut short by the arrival of the Federati
The likelihood of a paternally expressing imprinted gene in chromosome region 6(q23-24) has been highlighted by cases of transient neonatal diabetes mellitus (TNDM) in which paternal uniparental disomy (UPD) for chromosome 6 or paternal duplication 6(q23-qter) was detected. We present the case of a
We report on a 24-year old woman with an Xq duplication and findings suggestive of Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). Her birth weight was at the 3rd centile and her birth length was less than the 3rd centile. She was hypotonic and had a weak cry as an infant. There were no feeding difficulties, although
Only few cases with an interstitial deletion of chromosome 14 have been described so far. We report on a 21-month-old girl with an interstitial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 14, del(14)(q22.1q23.2). She presented with bilateral anophthalmia, absent left external auditory canal, facial asymm
We report on a girl with a phenotype and developmental profile initially suggestive of Angelman syndrome. Subsequently she was shown to have an interstitial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 17; [del(17)-(q23.1q23.3)], the smallest unique cytogenetic deletion in this region documented to date.
Genetic analysis of markers from chromosomes 4q21-23 and 17q21 in a family with apparently autosomal dominant Lewy body parkinsonism is presented. This analysis shows that the locus leading to this disease is not allelic with that previously shown to lead to Lewy body parkinsonism on chromosome 4 or
