Abstract:
:We report on a patient with a microdeletion of chromosome region 9q22.32q31.1 including the PTCH1 gene (human homologue of the Drosophila patched 1 gene), review the findings in the reported patients with similar array CGH findings, and highlight the non nevoid basal cell carcinoma/non-Gorlin syndrome findings at an earlier age. These are macrocephaly, neonatal hypotonia, severe psychomotor retardation with markedly delayed motor milestones and speech development, epicanthic folds, a thin upper lip, a short and wide/webbed neck, pectus excavatum and (kypho)scoliosis. These features should alert the physician to an early diagnosis of the microdeletion and allow the initiation of essential clinical management hereof.

杂志文章abstract:BACKGROUND:The 17p13.3 deletion syndrome (or Miller-Dieker syndrome, MDS, MIM 247200) is characterized by lissencephaly, mental retardation and facial dysmorphism. The phenotype is attributed to haploinsufficiency of two genes present in the minimal critical region of MDS: PAFAH1B1 (formerly referred to as LIS1) and YW...
