Abstract excerpt
We report a 3.1-Mb de novo deletion of 3p21.31 in a 3.5-year-old female with cortical blindness, cleft lip, CNS abnormalities, and gross developmental delays. Examination of the region showed approximately 80 genes to be involved in the deletion. Functional analysis of the deleted genes suggests that several of them may be important in normal neuronal maturation and function. Thus, haploinsufficiency of one or...
