“…The syndrome of partial duplication 2p, as originally reported by Francke [1978], is a well-defined clinical entity, related to a syndromic phenotype with multiple characteristics including psychomotor retardation, dysmorphic facial features encompassing depressed nasal bridge, prominent forehead, micrognathia, congenital heart abnormalities, and genital hypoplasia [Francke and Jones, 1976;Francke, 1978;Al-Saffar et al, 2000;Aviram-Goldring et al, 2000;Thangavelu et al, 2004;Gruchy et al, 2007;Kochilas et al, 2008;Bonaglia et al, 2009]. After reviewing the literature, several cases of partial duplication of chromosome 2 were identified encompassing segment 2p22.3p22.2 [Say et al, 1980;Parruti et al, 1989;Heathcote et al, 1991;Sawyer et al, 1994;Lurie et al, 1995;Mégarbané et al, 1997;Thangavelu et al, 2004;Kochilas et al, 2008].…”
