A microdeletion syndrome due to a 3‐Mb deletion on 19q13.2 – Diamond–Blackfan anemia associated with macrocephaly, hypotonia, and psychomotor retardation

Abstract: We report on a boy with congenital pure red blood cell aplasia [Diamond Blackfan anemia (DBA)] and severe congenital hypotonia, macrocephaly, hypertelorism, a broad and tall forehead, medial epicanthus, and facial hypotonia with mouth-breathing and drooling, an affable and out-going personality, and a general psychomotor retardation. These features show similarity to the phenotype of the X-linked FG syndrome. DBA was diagnosed at the age of 4 months, and the boy underwent treatment with transfusion and with pr… Show more

“…Three subjects also with mental retardation (MR) were found to be hemizygous for several marker loci 8. One of these patients with microdeletions was recently reported9 and we present here the second of the three patients. The clinical features of this patient are described as well as the precise mapping of the deletion breakpoints using FISH to extended DNA fibres.…”

“…Early descriptions of microdeletions involving 19q13 mostly involved patients with Blackfan-Diamond syndrome, which is due to a deletion of RPS19 in 19q13.2 [Gustavsson et al, 1997a[Gustavsson et al, ,b, 1998Cario et al, 1999;Draptchinskaia et al, 1999;Tentler et al, 2000].…”

“…Microdeletions in 19q13.2 have been associated with mental retardation, skeletal malformations, and DiamondBlackfan anaemia. [128][129][130] This suggests a contiguous gene syndrome which includes the ribosomal protein S19 that is mutated in Diamond-Blackfan anaemia.…”
