  • Title: Molecular cytogenetic characterization of a 10p14 deletion that includes the DGS2 region in a patient with multiple anomalies.
    Author: Skrypnyk C, Goecke TO, Majewski F, Bartsch O.
    Journal: Am J Med Genet; 2002 Nov 22; 113(2):207-12. PubMed ID: 12407714.
    Abstract:
    We report on a prenatally diagnosed four-month-old boy with DiGeorge-like phenotype and a deletion of chromosome 10pter --> 14. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) experiments using phage artificial chromosome (PAC) and yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) clones indicated that the chromosomal breakpoint was located at the proximal boundary of the DiGeorge syndrome 2 (DGS2) critical region. The patient demonstrated a high forehead, high arched eyebrows, short palpebral fissures, sparse eyelashes, prominent nose with bulbous tip, small mouth, receding chin, round ears with deficient helices, cardiac defects atrial septal defect (ASD), ventricular septal defect (VSD), mild brachytelephalangy, mild syndactyly, hypoplastic left kidney, undescended testes, muscular hypertonia, dorsally flexed big toes, and developmental delay. The phenotype corresponded well with the clinical signs of 10p deletion of this region that were described previously. The facial features appeared different from the typical face with the 22q11 deletion.
