Deregulated expression of polycomb repressive complex 2 target genes in a NF1 patient with microdeletion generating the RNF135-SUZ12 chimeric gene.

Abstract excerpt

Neurofibromatosis type I (NF1) microdeletion syndrome, accounting for 5-11% of NF1 patients, is caused by the heterozygous deletion of NF1 and a variable number of flanking genes in the 17q11.2 region. This syndrome is characterized by more severe symptoms than those shown by patients with intragenic NF1 mutation and by variable expressivity, which is not fully explained by the haploinsufficiency of the genes...
