Abstract
BACKGROUND
Nonallelic homologous recombination (NAHR) of segmental duplications or low copy repeats (LCRs) result in DNA gain/loss and play an important role in the origin of genomic disorders.
CASE SUMMARY
A 3-year- old boy was referred for genetic analysis. Comparative genomic hybridization array analysis revealed a loss of 3776 kb in the 4p16.3 chromosomal region and a gain of 3201 kb in the 11p15.5p15.4 chromosomal region.
CONCLUSION
Genomic imbalances caused by NAHR in LCRs result in deletion and duplication syndromes.
Core Tip: Chromosome analysis of a young child with developmental delay, cleft palate, hearing loss, and mental retardation indicated 46, XY. Further genetic analysis with comparative genomic hybridization array revealed a deletion in the short arm of chromosome 4 and a gain in the short arm of chromosome 11. The patient’s phenotypic findings were associated with the genes affected by the genomic loss and gain.
