A unique coincidence of a 17q12 deletion and duplication in a Czech family led to a refined genotype-phenotype correlation.

Abstract excerpt

Chromosomal band 17q12 is a gene-rich region flanked by segmental duplications, making the region prone to deletions and duplications via the non-allelic homologous recombination mechanism. While deletions cause a well-described disorder with a specific phenotype called renal cysts and diabetes mellitus, the phenotype caused by reciprocal duplications is less specific, primarily because of variable expressivity,...
