Abstract
Deletions in region 22q11.2 usually occur between two low copy repeat regions (LCRs), which are preferred chromosome sites for rearrangements. Most of the deletions encompass the same approximately 3 or approximately 1.5 Mb region, with breakpoints at LCR A and D or at LCR A and B, respectively. We report on a patient with clinical features of the 22q deletion syndrome who presents a novel, atypical deletion, smaller than 1.5 Mb, with distal breakpoint in LCR B and proximal breakpoint within no known LCR site.Entities:
