“…Several imbalances involving chromosome 6 have been described [Schroer et al, 1980;Pivnick et al, 1990;Uhrich et al, 1991;Rubtsov et al, 1996;Stein et al, 1996;Henegariu et al, 1997;Hopkin et al, 1997;Kumar et al, 1997;Zneimer et al, 1998;Cappon et al, 2000;Gilhuis et al, 2000;Goh et al, 2000;Causio et al, 2001;Faivre et al, 2002;Temple and Shield, 2002;Giardino et al, 2003;Vermeesch and Fryns, 2003;Kline et al, 2004] and a hot spot of genomic instability corresponding to a known genomic disorder was reported on 6p (congenital adrenal hyperplasia III) [Bailey et al, 2002], thus suggesting that, as reported for other chromosomes, chromosome 6 could be prone to chromosomal imbalances due to the existence of complex genomic architecture that may create instability (Ji et al, 2000;Shaw and Lupski, 2004).…”
