Introduction: Koolen-de Vries Syndrome (KdVS) is a rare genetic condition, caused by a 17q21.31 microdeletion, or a pathogenic variant in KANSL1 gene. The clinical picture includes developmental delay (DD)/intellectual disability (ID) with expressive language particularly impaired, dysmorphisms, neonatal hypotonia, and friendly behaviour. Aim: To characterize at the molecular and clinical levels all patients in...
The 15q11.2-q13 region has been well characterized, being associated with a range of syndromatic copy number variants (CNVs), and comprises five established break points sites (BP1 to BP5). While the clinical effect for BP1-BP3, BP2-BP3 and BP4-BP5 CNVs is well established, the same cannot be said for BP1-BP2 CNVs. Recently the 15q11.2 BP1-BP2 deletion has been reviewed, emerging as a microdeletion syndrome wit...
