We report a patient with dup(3p) syndrome with holoprosencephaly. This infant is compared with 17 others reported previously with banding studies. In 72% of cases the duplication derived from a mother with a balanced translocation; 78% of affected individuals are males. The most common anomalies are characteristic facial changes, congenital heart defects, and hypoplasia of male genitalia. Holoprosencephaly has not been reported before in the dup(3p) syndrome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
