Molecular mechanisms for subtelomeric rearrangements associated with the 9q34.3 microdeletion syndrome
17 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
We characterized at the molecular level the genomic rearrangements in 28 unrelated patients with 9q34.3 subtelomeric deletions. Four distinct categories were delineated: terminal deletions, interstitial deletions, derivative chromosomes and complex rearrangements; each results in haploinsufficiency of the EHMT1 gene and a characteristic phenotype. Interestingly, 25% of our patients had de novo interstitial...
