Spectrum of clinical features associated with interstitial chromosome 22q11 deletions: a European collaborative study.
We present clinical data on 558 patients with deletions within the DiGeorge syndrome critical region of chromosome 22q11. Twenty-eight percent of the cases where parents had been tested had inherited… Expand

Congenital leptin deficiency is associated with severe early-onset obesity in humans
The extreme obesity of the obese (ob/ob) mouse is attributable to mutations in the gene encoding leptin, an adipocyte-specific secreted protein which has profound effects on appetite and energy… Expand

Discovery of previously unidentified genomic disorders from the duplication architecture of the human genome
Genomic disorders are characterized by the presence of flanking segmental duplications that predispose these regions to recurrent rearrangement. Based on the duplication architecture of the genome,… Expand

Differential effects of FGFR2 mutations on syndactyly and cleft palate in Apert syndrome.
Apert syndrome is a distinctive human malformation characterized by craniosynostosis and severe syndactyly of the hands and feet. It is caused by specific missense substitutions involving adjacent… Expand
