Recently, the application of array-based comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) has improved rates of detection of chromosomal imbalances in individuals with mental retardation and dysmorphic features. Here, we describe three individuals with learning disability and a heterozygous deletion at chromosome 17q21.3, detected in each case by array CGH. FISH analysis demonstrated that the deletions occurred as de novo events in each individual and were between 500 kb and 650 kb in size. A…

2q23.1 microdeletion identified by array comparative genomic hybridisation: an emerging phenotype with Angelman-like features?
TLDR
Two unrelated patients with a de novo interstitial deletion mapping in this genomic region and presenting similar “pseudo-Angelman” phenotypes are reported, including severe psychomotor retardation, speech impairment, epilepsy, microcephaly, ataxia, and behavioural disabilities.
Identification of a recurrent microdeletion at 17q23.1q23.2 flanked by segmental duplications associated with heart defects and limb abnormalities.
Dosage-dependent severity of the phenotype in patients with mental retardation due to a recurrent copy-number gain at Xq28 mediated by an unusual recombination.
Recurrent Inversion Events at 17q21.31 Microdeletion Locus Are Linked to the MAPT H2 Haplotype
TLDR
The results highlight an allele-specific sensitivity to chromosome rearrangements and suggest that it is the heterozygosity of inversion status that predisposes to the 17q21.31 microdeletion syndrome.
Copy number variation at the 7q11.23 segmental duplications is a susceptibility factor for the Williams-Beuren syndrome deletion.
TLDR
The data further illustrate the highly dynamic structure of regions rich in segmental duplications, such as the WBS locus, and indicate that large CNVs can act as susceptibility alleles for disease-associated genomic rearrangements in the progeny.
Resolving the breakpoints of the 17q21.31 microdeletion syndrome with next-generation sequencing.
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.
Low copy repeats mediate distal chromosome 22q11.2 deletions: sequence analysis predicts breakpoint mechanisms.
TLDR
These are the first reported cases of distal 22q11 deletions in which breakpoints have been characterized at the nucleotide level within LCRs, confirming that distal22q11 L CRs can and do mediate rearrangements leading to genomic disorders.
De novo triplication of the MAPT gene from the recurrent 17q21.31 microdeletion region in a patient with moderate intellectual disability and various minor anomalies
TLDR
The first de novo copy number gain to four copies on chromosome 17q21.31 including the MAPT gene but not the entire recurrent microdeletion/microduplication region is identified by molecular karyotyping.
Copy-number variations measured by single-nucleotide-polymorphism oligonucleotide arrays in patients with mental retardation.
TLDR
Whole-genome analysis using high-density single-nucleotide-polymorphism oligonucleotide arrays allows identification of microdeletions, microduplications, and uniparental disomies and detected 11 copy-number variations that most likely are causative of mental retardation.

Microarray based comparative genomic hybridisation (array-CGH) detects submicroscopic chromosomal deletions and duplications in patients with learning disability/mental retardation and dysmorphic features
TLDR
It is anticipated that array-CGH will become a routine method of genome-wide screening for imbalanced rearrangements in children with learning disability and dysmorphism.
Genomic inversions of human chromosome 15q11-q13 in mothers of Angelman syndrome patients with class II (BP2/3) deletions.
TLDR
Evidence is presented that some mothers of AS patients with deletions of the 15q11-q13 region have a heterozygous inversion involving the region that is deleted in the affected offspring, and this region is inverted in the mouse draft genome sequence with respect to the human draft sequence.
Array-CGH detection of micro rearrangements in mentally retarded individuals: clinical significance of imbalances present both in affected children and normal parents
TLDR
The limited ability to differentiate between inherited copy number variations which cause abnormal phenotypes and rare variants unrelated to clinical alterations currently constitutes a limitation in the use of CGH-microarray for guiding genetic counselling.
Identification of a 3.0-kb major recombination hotspot in patients with Sotos syndrome who carry a common 1.9-Mb microdeletion.
TLDR
The identification of a 3.0-kb major recombination hotspot within these LCRs is reported, in which several recombination-associated motifs were identified in the hotspot and/or its vicinity and a 10-fold average increase of a translin motif, as compared with the normal distribution within the L CRs, was recognized.
A 17q21.31 microdeletion encompassing the MAPT gene in a mentally impaired patient
TLDR
It is suggested that microdeletions within the 17q21.31 segment should be considered as a possible cause of phenotypes resembling AS, particularly when easily controlled seizures and/or cardiac abnormalities are also present.
Array-based comparative genomic hybridization for the genomewide detection of submicroscopic chromosomal abnormalities.
TLDR
This high-resolution assay will facilitate the identification of novel genes involved in human mental retardation and/or malformation syndromes and will provide insight into the flexibility and plasticity of the human genome.
The detection of subtelomeric chromosomal rearrangements in idiopathic mental retardation
TLDR
A strategy to screen for the abnormal inheritance of subtelomeric DMA polymorphisms in individuals with mental retardation and detects three abnormalities in 99 patients with normal routine karyotypes, which will be an important resource in the characterization of the genetic basis of neurodevelopment.
Genomic architecture of human 17q21 linked to frontotemporal dementia uncovers a highly homologous family of low-copy repeats in the tau region.
TLDR
Enterprise studies, short tandem repeat-based linkage disequilibrium (LD) and macro-restriction mapping, andnotation demonstrated that MAPT is surrounded by three highly homologous low-copy repeats (LCRs) in a region of 1.7 Mb, which predicts that other potentially more complex genomic rearrangements might be underlying FTDU-17.
Homologous DNA exchanges in humans can be explained by the yeast double-strand break repair model: a study of 17p11.2 rearrangements associated with CMT1A and HNPP.
TLDR
Fine mapping of the de novo rearrangements provided evidence that the successive steps of this model, heteroduplex DNA formation, mismatch correction and gene conversion, occurred in patients, and supports the hypothesis that the DSB repair model of DNA exchange may apply universally from yeasts to humans.
Development and validation of a CGH microarray for clinical cytogenetic diagnosis
TLDR
The chromosome microarray analysis (CMA) results were entirely consistent with previous cytogenetic and FISH findings and is an attractive alternative to telomere FISH and locus-specific FISH, but it does not include uniform coverage across the arms of each chromosome and is not intended to substitute for a standard karyotype.
