PURPOSE: Genomic rearrangements of chromosome 22q11.2, including the microdeletion associated with DiGeorge/velocardiofacial syndrome, are mediated by nonallelic homologous recombination between region-specific low-copy repeats. To date, only a small number of patients with 22q11.2 microduplication have been identified. METHODS: We report the identification by array-comparative genomic hybridization of 14...
