The smallest de novo 20q11.2 microdeletion causing intellectual disability and dysmorphic features.


ABSTRACT: The 20q11.2 microdeletion is a rare chromosomal aberration characterized by intellectual disability (ID), motor developmental delay, neonatal feeding problems, and facial dysmorphism. Here, a 2-year- and 6-month-old Japanese girl with a 1.2?Mb microdeletion of 20q11.2 showed ID, motor developmental delay, and distinctive facial features without feeding problems. The deleted region was identified by array-based comparative genomic hybridization and is the smallest reported for a 20q11.2 microdeletion.
