Interstitial microdeletion of chromosome 1p in two siblings

C G N Campbell et al. Am J Med Genet. .

Abstract

Two half-siblings are described with what we believe to be the second and third cases identified of the microdeletion, del(1)(p32.1p32.3). Both siblings had a tethered cord and had mental retardation, but otherwise their phenotypic presentations were quite different. The sister had failure to thrive, congenital dysplasia of the hip, absent corpus callosum, Chiari I malformation, and syringomyelia. The brother experienced neonatal seizures secondary to a hemorrhagic stroke. He had an accessory thumb, inguinal hernia, cryptorchidism, urinary reflux, and cholelithiasis. Although these children have only delayed development in common with the previously reported case, they help to further define chromosomal deletions in this area of chromosome 1. As yet, no clear phenotypic picture has emerged.
