Genotypic and phenotypic variability of chromosome 22q11.2 microduplications
Genotypic and phenotypic variability of 22q11.2 microduplications: An institutional experience 22q11.2 region is rich in low copy repeats (large repetitive blocks of DNA that are similar to each other), which makes the region prone to both deletions and duplications during meiosis. Deletions of 22q11.2 are very common. Microduplications of this... Read More

Neuropsychiatric phenotypes and ASD features in 3q29 deletion syndrome
Neuropsychiatric phenotypes and a distinct constellation of ASD features in 3q29 deletion syndrome: results from the 3q29 registry The phenotype of 3q29 deletion syndrome is characterized mainly by neurodevelopmental and psychiatric features. Usually this syndrome is caused by a de novo deletion, typically 1.6 Mb, on chromosome 3. Although, it... Read More
