  • Title: Characterization of the Phenotype Associated with Microduplication Reciprocal to NF1 Microdeletion Syndrome.
    Author: Tassano E, Giacomini T, Severino M, Gamucci A, Fiorio P, Gimelli G, Ronchetto P.
    Journal: Cytogenet Genome Res; 2017; 152(1):22-28. PubMed ID: 28605748.
    Abstract:
    17q11.2 microduplication syndrome is a recently described relatively rare condition associated with a nonspecific phenotype. Intellectual disability, developmental delay, and dysmorphisms are the only clinical features common to a majority of cases. Seventeen patients have been reported so far. Here, we present another patient with 17q11.2 duplication and no signs of neurofibromatosis type 1, identified by array-CGH. We compared clinical features and genetic data with those of previously reported patients with 17q11.2 microduplications. We also analyzed the gene content of the duplicated region in order to investigate the possible role of specific genes in the clinical phenotype of our patient.
