“…Deletions of the short arm of chromosome 20 are a relatively rare chromosome abnormality, with less than 35 such patients reported in the literature (Anad, et al, 1990; Byrne, et al, 1986; Dutta, et al, 1991; Garcia-Cruz, et al, 1985; Garcia-Heras, et al, 2005; Kiss and Osztovics, 1988; Krantz, et al, 1997; Laufer-Cahana, et al, 2002; Legius, et al, 1990; Li, et al, 1996; Michaelis, et al, 1997; Oda, et al, 2000; Rand, et al, 1995; Rovet, et al, 1995; Sauter, et al, 2003; Schnittger, et al, 1989; Shohat, et al, 1991; Silengo, et al, 1988; Spinner, et al, 1994; Teebi, et al, 1992; Zhang, et al, 1990). The observation that multiple patients with deletions of 20p12 had the autosomal dominant disorder Alagille syndrome (AGS; MIM# 118450), led to the positional cloning of the AGS disease gene, Jagged1 ( JAG1 ; MIM# 601920) (Li, et al, 1997; Oda, et al, 1997).…”
