Abstract
17p13.3 microduplication syndrome has been associated with a clinical spectrum of phenotypes, and depending on the genes involved in the microduplication, it is categorized into two classes (Class I and Class II). We herein, describe two patients diagnosed with Class I 17p13.3 microduplication by BACs-on-Beads (BoBs) assay and further confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Our patients (Patient 1: 4-year-old male; Patient 2: 2-year-old male) presented with developmental delay, intellectual disability, and dysmorphic facial features. When compared with the literature, our patients manifested distinctive features (Patient 1: primary hypothyroidism; Patient 2: bilateral cryptorchidism) that were not previously described in the duplication 17p13.3 spectrum.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Pediatric Genetics is an English multidisciplinary peer-reviewed international journal publishing articles on all aspects of genetics in childhood and of the genetics of experimental models. These topics include clinical genetics, molecular genetics, biochemical genetics, medical genetics, dysmorphology, teratology, genetic counselling, genetic engineering, formal genetics, neuropsychiatric genetics, behavioral genetics, community genetics, cytogenetics, hereditary or syndromic cancer genetics, genetic mapping, reproductive genetics, fetal pathology and prenatal diagnosis, multiple congenital anomaly syndromes, and molecular embryology of birth defects. Journal of Pediatric Genetics provides an in-depth update on new subjects and current comprehensive coverage of the latest techniques used in the diagnosis of childhood genetics. Journal of Pediatric Genetics encourages submissions from all authors throughout the world. The following articles will be considered for publication: editorials, original and review articles, short report, rapid communications, case reports, letters to the editor, and book reviews. The aim of the journal is to share and disseminate knowledge between all disciplines in the field of pediatric genetics. This journal is a publication of the World Pediatric Society: http://www.worldpediatricsociety.org/ The Journal of Pediatric Genetics is available in print and online. Articles published ahead of print are available via the eFirst service on the Thieme E-Journals platform.
