Abstract excerpt
Extra euchromatic material was found within the major heterochromatic block of chromosome 16 (16qh) in one de novo case and seven members of two families. In contrast to the euchromatic variants of chromosome 9 (9qh), which are derived from pericentromeric euchromatin, molecular cytogenetics confirmed that these duplications were of 16q11.2-->q12.2 in the de novo case, of 16q11.2-->q13 in three members of family...
