A novel de novo 20q13.11q13.12 microdeletion in a boy with neurodevelopmental disorders - case report.
2017
: Copy-number variants (CNVs) are an important cause of human neurodevelopmental disorders. We present the first case of a 424 kb de novo 20q13.11q13.12 microdeletion in a patient with attention deficit disorder, tics and autistic behaviors, such as emotional and behavioral problems, and movement stereotypes. This region includes three genes expressed in the brain: SFRS6, PTPRT and L3MBTL. Our results suggest that loss of the chromosomal region 20q13.11q13.12 is causative for the clinical findings observed in the patient.
