Abstract excerpt
Complex chromosomal rearrangements with more than two breakpoints are rare. We report on a 5-year-old girl, evaluated because of psychomotor delay, ectrodactyly of right hand and feet, craniofacial dysmorphic features, cleft palate, deafness, and tetralogy of Fallot. A standard karyotype suggested a small intrachromosomal duplication of chromosome 7q. The chromosomal rearrangement was characterized by mBAND,...
