Patients with distal deletions of chromosome 1q have a recognizable syndrome that includes microcephaly, hypoplasia or agenesis of the corpus callosum, and psychomotor retardation. Although these symptoms have been attributed to deletions of 1q42–1q44, the minimal chromosomal region involved has not yet defined. In this report, we describe a 7 years old male with mental retardation, cryptorchid testes, short stature and alopecia carrying only an interstitial de novo deletion of 911 Kb in the 1q43 region (239,597,095–240,508,817) encompassing three genes CHRM3, RPS7P5 and FMN2.

Abstract

Patients with distal deletions of chromosome 1q have a recognizable syndrome that includes microcephaly, hypoplasia or agenesis of the corpus callosum, and psychomotor retardation. Although these symptoms have been attributed to deletions of 1q42–1q44, the minimal chromosomal region involved has not yet defined. In this report, we describe a 7 years old male with mental retardation, cryptorchid testes, short stature and alopecia carrying only an interstitial de novo deletion of 911 Kb in the 1q43 region (239,597,095–240,508,817) encompassing three genes CHRM3, RPS7P5 and FMN2.
