Abstract
A de novo unbalanced t(2;22)(q37;q11.2) [corrected], resulting in the deletion of the 22pter-q11 and 2q37-qter regions, was observed in a 12-year-old girl born with a congenital malformation syndrome and later displaying signs of neurologic impairment. Some of the clinical signs observed appear to overlap those found in subjects monosomic in the 22q11 region affected by the DiGeorge syndrome. The chromosomal rearrangement observed may be related to a familial cytogenetic instability that also gives rise to sustained cancer predisposition.Pubblicazioni consigliate
