Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Proximal chromosome 17p is a region rich in low copy repeats (LCRs) and prone to chromosomal rearrangements. Four genomic disorders map within the interval 17p11-p12: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A, hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies, Smith-Magenis syndrome, and dup(17)(p11.2p11.2) syndrome. While 80-90% or more of the rearrangements resulting in each disorder are recurrent,...
