Short reports 5p14 deletion associated with microcephaly and seizures
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on a father and son who have an interstitial deletion of 5p14. The father is clinically and mentally normal while the son has significant clinical involvement including microcephaly, seizures, and global developmental delay. The extent of the 5p14 deletion was determined using fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH). The deletion in this present family is smaller than a deletion previously described in a multigenerational family that lacks any clinical phenotype. This report shows that a 5p14 deletion does not always lead to a normal phenotype. (J Med Genet 2000;37:125–127)

Microcephaly, Deafness, and Renal Dysplasia: A Case of Barakat Syndrome
Background: Barakat syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by hypoparathyroidism, sensorineural deafness, and renal disease, collectively known as HDR syndrome. This disease is caused by the mutation of GATA3 gene located on chromosome 10p15. GATA3 is involved in the embryonic development of kidneys, inner ears, parathyroid glands, and central nervous systems.Case report: ...

متن کاملThe Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome in Fetal Autopsy - A Case Report -
Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS) is one of multiple congenital anomaly/mental retardation (MCA/MR) syndromes and is caused by partial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 4, particularly in the Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome critical region-1 (WHSCR1) and Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome critical region-2 (WHSCR2), which are located in chromosome 4p16.3. Loss of these regions is indeed the cause of WHS, and...
متن کامل1p36 deletion syndrome confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization and array-comparative genomic hybridization analysis
Pediatric epilepsy can be caused by various conditions, including specific syndromes. 1p36 deletion syndrome is reported in 1 in 5,000-10,000 newborns, and its characteristic clinical features include developmental delay, mental retardation, hypotonia, congenital heart defects, seizure, and facial dysmorphism. However, detection of the terminal deletion in chromosome 1p by conventional G-banded...
