Abstract
Interstitial deletions involving the chromosomal band 15q15 are very rare. A total of five cases were previously reported. Here another case of a 15q15.2-q22.2 deletion is reported, presenting with severe craniosynostosis of coronary, metopic, and sagittal sutures. The chromosome 15 with the 17.7-Mb deletion was of the paternal origin. A critical region for craniosynostosis may be located at the 734-kb segment at 15q15.2. Interestingly, the entire FBN1 gene was deleted in this patient.Entities:
