We report on the second case of duplication (4)(q12q13) with microcephaly, mental retardation, and minor facial anomalies. Duplications involving the distal region of chromosome 4q are well described and share common clinical findings. However, phenotypic abnormalities of duplications of the proxima

β¦ Synopsis
We report on a girl with duplication of 6q22.32 β qter and microcephaly, frontal bossing, facial anomalies, and webbed neck. She has congenital heart disease, renal hypoplasia, and hearing loss along with severe developmental delay. Published reports of seven other patients are reviewed and compared. The most frequent anomalies include microcephaly, abnormal face, webbed neck, congenital heart disease, limb contractures, and developmental delay. Am.

22q11 deletion syndrome (22qDS) is due to microdeletions of chromosome region 22q11.2. Little is known about the phenotype of adults. We reviewed available case reports of adults (age β₯18 years) with 22qDS and compared the prevalence of key findings to those reported in a large European survey of 22
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 de
We have studied two brothers with submicroscopic 22q11 deletion. One brother had findings suggestive of DiGeorge syndrome, while the other had milder anomalies, including polydactyly. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) showed a minor cell line with deletion 22q11 in the mother. To our knowled
We report on a 5-year-old girl with a de novo interstitial duplication of chromosome 6q21-q23 and delayed development and speech with distinctive minor facial anomalies including a ''carp'' mouth. Fluorescence in situ hybridization using a chromosome 6 paint probe confirms that the extra material is
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
