Title: Deletion of 4.4 Mb at 2q33.2q33.3 May Cause Growth Deficiency in a Patient with Mental Retardation, Facial Dysmorphic Features and Speech Delay. Author: Papoulidis I, Paspaliaris V, Papageorgiou E, Siomou E, Dagklis T, Sotiriou S, Thomaidis L, Manolakos E. Journal: Cytogenet Genome Res; 2015; 145(1):19-24. PubMed ID: 25925190. Abstract: A patient with a rare interstitial deletion of chromosomal band 2q33.2q33.3 is described. The clinical features resembled the 2q33.1 microdeletion syndrome (Glass syndrome), including mental retardation, facial dysmorphism, high-arched narrow palate, growth deficiency, and speech delay. The chromosomal aberration was characterized by whole genome BAC aCGH. A comparison of the current patient and Glass syndrome features revealed that this case displayed a relatively mild phenotype. Overall, it is suggested that the deleted region of 2q33 causative for Glass syndrome may be larger than initially suggested.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
