Abstract excerpt
Many multiple congenital anomalies (MCA) are caused by recombination between homologous segmental duplications. In this report, we describe a novel "de novo" microdeletion in male monozygotic twins presenting with aortic valve abnormality, seizure disorder, and mild mental retardation. Using array based comparative genomic hybridization, we mapped the microdeletion to the short arm of chromosome 16 at 16p11.2 and...
