Clinical Description OMIM Hernando et al. (2002) reported the first case of multiple congenital anomalies associated with a de novo interstitial deletion of band 16p11.2 confirmed by array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). Ultrasound examination at age 20 weeks' gestation showed cardiac ...
Diagnosis GeneReviews 16p11.2 microdeletion is characterized by:...
Clinical Description GeneReviews 16p11.2 microdeletion was first reported as a recurrent microdeletion in individuals with ASD [Kumar et al 2008, Marshall et al 2008, Weiss et al 2008]. Prior to that, the same 16p11.2 microdeletion was reported as a de novo copy number variant in an individual with Asperger disorder [Sebat et al 2007] and in two monozygotic twins with seizures, mild intellectual disability, and aortic valve abnormalities [Ghebranious et al 2007]....
Differential Diagnosis GeneReviews The differential diagnosis is broad, including any cause of developmental delay and/or ASD without obvious distinguishing clinical features. This point underscores the importance of genetic testing in this patient population. ...
Management GeneReviews To establish the extent of disease in an individual diagnosed with 16p11.2 microdeletion, the following are recommended:...
