E. Lopezrangel et al., PARTIAL DUPLICATION OF 3Q (Q25.1-]Q26.1) WITHOUT THE BRACHMANN-DELANGE PHENOTYPE, American journal of medical genetics, 47(7), 1993, pp. 1068-1071
Partial duplications of chromosome 3 have previously been reported to
have phenotypic characteristics similar to Brachmann-de Lange syndrome
(BDLS). We present the case of a 13-year-old girl with an apparent du
plication in the 3q25.1-->q26.1 region but none of the manifestations
commonly seen in BDLS. The chromosome 3 duplication was confirmed with
a FISH painting probe of the involved region. These results suggest t
hat the region critical for Brachmann-de Lange syndrome is not within
the duplicated region of 3q25.1-->q26.1. (C) 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
