β¦ Synopsis
J.M. and H.G. are two unrelated male patients with developmental delay. Cytogenetic analysis detected a duplication of 17~11.2 in both patients. The extent of the duplicated region was determined using single copy DNA probes: cen-Dl7S58-Dl7S29-D17S258-D 1757 1-D 175445-D 178122-tel. Four of the six markers, D17S29, D17S258,D17S71, and D17S445, were duplicated by dosage analysis. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis of H.G., using cosmids for locus D17S29, confirmed the duplication in 17~11.2. Because the deletion that causes the Smith-Magenis syndrome involves the same region of 17~11.2 as the duplication in these patients, the mechanism may be similar to that proposed for the reciprocal deletion/ duplication event observed in Hereditary Neuropathy with Liability to Pressure Palsies (HNPP) and Charcot-Marie-Tooth Type 1A disease (CMTlA). 0 1996 WiIey-Liss, Inc.

## Abstract SmithβMagenis syndrome (SMS) is a disorder characterized by multiple congenital anomalies and behavior problems, including abnormal sleep patterns. It is most commonly due to a 3.5βMb interstitial deletion of chromosome 17 band p11.2. Secretion of melatonin, a hormone produced by the pi
