Interstitial 6q deletion and Prader-Willi-like phenotype.

abstract：:Despite a wide range of clinical tools, the etiology of mental retardation and multiple congenital malformations remains unknown for many patients. Array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) has proven to be a valuable tool in these cases, as its pangenomic coverage allows the identification of chromosomal a...
