15q25.2 deletion syndrome
Saturday 30 October 2010
Individuals with recurrent deletions of 15q25.2 are at increased risk for CDH and other birth defects. A high index of suspicion should exist for the development of cognitive defects, anaemia and DBA-associated malignancies in these individuals.
Synopsis
congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH)
cognitive deficits
cryptorchidism
short stature
Diamond-Blackfan anaemia (DBA)
15q25.2 target genes
CPEB1,
