Abstract excerpt
Five patients with type 1 lissencephaly, typical features of Miller-Dieker syndrome and apparently normal karyotypes were investigated for microdeletions in chromosome 17p13.3. Analysis of loci D17S5 and D17S379 by polymerase chain reaction and fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed a deletion in three cases. No deletion was observed in the remaining two cases. Given the almost identical clinical picture of...
