BACKGROUND The 3q29 microdeletion syndrome is a genomic disorder characterized by mental retardation, developmental delay, microcephaly, and slight facial dysmorphism. In most cases, the microdeletion spans a 1.6-Mb region between low-copy repeats (LCRs). We identified a novel 4.0- Mb deletion using oligonucleotide array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) in monozygotic twin sisters. METHODS G-banded chromosome analysis was performed in the twins and their parents. Highresolution…

Clinical Applications of Chromosomal Microarray Analysis
TLDR
Although CMA has distinct advantages, there are several limitations, including its inability to detect balanced chromosomal rearrangements and low-level mosaicism, its interpretation of copy number variants of uncertain clinical significance, and significantly higher costs.

Array CGH identifies reciprocal 16p13.1 duplications and deletions that predispose to autism and/or mental retardation
TLDR
A 1.5‐Mb duplication on chromosome 16p13.1 that was found by high‐resolution array CGH in four severe autistic male patients from three unrelated families and identified in several variably affected and unaffected relatives represents recurrent genomic imbalances which predispose to autism and/or MR.
Expanding the clinical phenotype of the 3q29 microdeletion syndrome and characterization of the reciprocal microduplication
TLDR
This report demonstrates that array CGH is especially suited to identify chromosome abnormalities with unclear or variable presentations, as well as identifying de novo and inherited abnormalities in both the microdeletion and microduplication cohorts.
3q29 microdeletion syndrome: clinical and molecular characterization of a new syndrome.
TLDR
The presence of two nearly identical low-copy repeat sequences in BAC clones on each side of the deletion breakpoint suggests that nonallelic homologous recombination is the likely mechanism of disease causation in this syndrome.
Identification of disease genes by whole genome CGH arrays.
TLDR
It is expected that, ultimately, genomic copy number scanning of all 250,000 exons in the human genome will enable immediate disease gene discovery in cases exhibiting single exon duplications and/or deletions.
Cryptic telomeric rearrangements in subjects with mental retardation associated with dysmorphism and congenital malformations
TLDR
Examination of 200 patients with idiopathic mental retardation, either isolated or associated with dysmorphism and/or congenital anomalies, using FISH analysis with subtelomeric chromosome specific probes found cryptic telomeric rearrangements in children with moderate to severe mental retardations to be a significant cause.
Molecular mechanisms for genomic disorders.
TLDR
The human genome sequence project reveals that LCRs may account for 5% of the genome, suggesting that many novel genomic disorders might still remain to be recognized.
A case of 3q29 microdeletion with novel features and a review of cytogenetically visible terminal 3q deletions
TLDR
A further case of 3q29 deletion, in a 13-year-old boy, is described and compared with previous reports, and novel features, which may expand the phenotype, include nasal voice, six lumbar vertebrae, lower limb contractures and cerebral sigmoid venous thrombosis.
A high-resolution survey of deletion polymorphism in the human genome
TLDR
A new method that uses SNP genotype data from parent-offspring trios to identify polymorphic deletions is reported, which will permit the identification of deletion polymorphisms in high-density SNP surveys of trio or other family data.
PAK3 mutation in nonsyndromic X-linked mental retardation
TLDR
Impaired individuals in a multiplex pedigree with MRX (MRX30), previously mapped to Xq22, show a point mutation in the PAK3 (p21-activated kinase) gene, which encodes a serine-threonine kinase, which is critical for human cognitive function.
