Deletions of 2p11.2-p12 are exceedingly rare with few reported cases.1,2 Most patients display a mild-to-moderate developmental delay and intellectual disability. Additional manifestations are happy disposition, tendency to obesity, and minor dysmorphic features, such as short stature, prominent forehead, hypertelorism, broad nasal bridge, or large low-set ears. Occasionally congenital malformations are present, such as chest and spine abnormalities, urogenital malformations, or atrial septal defect.1 In this study, we report a patient presenting with early-onset atypical parkinsonism carrying a heterozygous 3.9-Mb deletion on 2p11.2.
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.
