Journal ArticleDOI

Young children with Velo-Cardio-Facial syndrome (CATCH-22). Psychological and language phenotypes.

TL;DR: The observations suggest a phenotype comprised of a borderline to mildly retarded level of intellectual functioning, a language delay, a general deficit in social initiation, difficulties with attention/concentration, and a perturbed train of thought.
Journal ArticleDOI

"Compensatory" uniparental disomy of chromosome 21 in two cases.

TL;DR: It is reported here that this cytogenetic mechanism can result in false normal cytogenetics findings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monozygotic twins discordant for trisomy 21 and maternal 21q inheritance: a complex series of events.

TL;DR: Analysis of microsatellite polymorphisms in multiple samples from the placenta, hand, lungs, kidneys and the umbilical cords of both twins confirmed monozygosity for all loci tested, and trisomy 21 in T1.
Journal ArticleDOI

No deleterious mutations in the FOXJ1 (alias HFH-4) gene in patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD).

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the FOXJ1 gene is not responsible for the PCD/KS phenotype in the families examined, and two families with complete aciliogenesis, and six families in which the affected members have microsatellite alleles concordant for a locus on distal chromosome 17q were screened for mutations.
Journal ArticleDOI

A recurrent 14q32.2 microdeletion mediated by expanded TGG repeats

TL;DR: The observation that expanded repeats can act as catalysts for genomic rearrangement extends the role of triplet repeats in human disease, raising the possibility that similar repeat structures may act as substrates for pathogenic rearrangements genome-wide.
