Molecular cytogenetic characterization of 2p23.2p23.3 deletion in a child with developmental delay, hypotonia and cryptorchism.

Abstract excerpt

Deletions of the short arm of chromosome 2 are exceedingly rare and only nine cases involving regions from 2p23 to 2pter have been reported to date. Most of these deletions had only been analysed by GTG banding. Here, we report an interstitial de novo deletion resulting in a microdeletion of 3.9 Mb involving 2p23.2-p23.3 segment, detected by SNP-array analysis, in a 5 year-old boy showing hypotonia, overweight,...
