16p CNV
Monica et al. “Clinical Insights into the Neurodevelopmental Impact of 16p CNVs in an Italian Clinical Cohort”. “Genes” 2026, v. 17, 247. Copy number variants (CNVs) at chromosome 16p are associated with highly variable neurodevelopmental disorders with recurrent loci (genomic locations), including 16p11.2, 16p13.11, and 16p13.3. 16p duplications are...

9q21q22 Duplication
Kawamura et al. “Intrachromosomal insertion as a diagnostic challenge: a hidden structural rearrangement causing recurrent duplication and deletion”. “Molecular Cytogenetics” 2026, v.19:8. Identification of a parental insertion is clinically important because of its implications for recurrence risk in subsequent offspring. While interchromosomal insertions can usually be recognized relatively easily... Read More

Deletion 17q12 and the HNF1B gene
The area 17q12 includes a relatively small ~1.5 Mb segment flanked by similar areas of low-copy repeats. The presence of such an area facilitates the so-called non-allelic homologous recombination. As a result this segment is susceptible to deletions (as well as duplications). Deletions of this area are relatively common with... Read More
