Abstract excerpt
Here, we report strong evidence for a role of the FNDC3B gene in craniofacial development. Chromosomal microarray identified deletions at 3q26.31 in two patients with dysmorphic facial features. Parental FISH studies demonstrated that they are de novo; therefore, these two 3q26.31 microdeletions likely contribute to the patients' dysmorphic features. Interestingly, the minimal region of overlap contains only the...
