Clinical and molecular genetic characterization of two female patients harboring the Xq27.3q28 deletion with different ratios of X chromosome inactivation

Abstract: A heterozygous deletion at Xq27.3q28 including FMR1, AFF2, and IDS causing intellectual disability and characteristic facial features is very rare in females, with only 10 patients having been reported. Here, we examined two female patients with different clinical features harboring the Xq27.3q28 deletion and determined the chromosomal breakpoints. Moreover, we assessed the X chromosome inactivation (XCI) in peripheral blood from both patients. Both patients had an almost overlapping deletion at Xq27.3q28, how… Show more

“…In clinical practice, microdeletions often extend into adjacent genes that also cause intellectual disability, especially AFF2 located 550 kb downstream and IDS (mucopolysaccharidosis II) 1.5 Mb downstream. These larger deletions can present with additional clinical features related to the neighboring genes, as in proximal deletions including SOX3 [97] and distal deletions including IDS [98][99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107].…”
