Abstract excerpt
The molecular characterization of two patients with features of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) and chromosome abnormalities is consistent with the association of this phenotype with a duplication of a portion of chromosome 11. Quantitative Southern blot analysis of DNA from patient A defines a large inherited duplicated segment of chromosome 11. For patient B, a de novo duplication of unknown origin has been...
