“…Medial 11q contains 2 major pairs of proximal (11q14.1 and q14.3) and distal G-dark bands (11q22.1 and q22.3) that could not be reliably distinguished using G-banding in the past [Li et al, 2006]. Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) [Horelli-Kuitunen et al, 1999;Li et al, 2002], comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) [Goumy et al, 2008], and array CGH (aCGH) [Li et al, 2006;Sparkes et al, 2009;Kariminejad et al, 2010;Melis et al, 2010;Wincent et al, 2010;Nacinovich et al, 2014] have overcome this problem, and an emerging phenotype of mild to moderate developmental delay, ptosis, and dysmorphism has been described for interstitial deletions involving the proximal 11q14.1q14.3 block of medial 11q [Joyce et al, 1996;Melis et al, 2010;Wincent et al, 2010]. However, the heterogeneity of overlapping deletions and the variability of the associated phenotypes have prevented the delineation of a corresponding phenotype for interstitial deletions of the distal 11q22.1q22.3 block of medial 11q [Nacinovich et al, 2014;Tucker et al, 2016].…”
