Abstract excerpt
Chromosome-specific low copy repeats (LCRs) are implicated in several clinically significant microdeletion and microduplication syndromes. The well-recognized phenotype of DiGeorge/velocardiofacial syndrome (DG/VCF) results from deletions of the long arm of chromosome 22 (22q11.2) mediated by the proximal LCRs in this region. More recent evidence suggests that the distal LCRs within 22q11.2 are also implicated in...
