Microdeletion syndrome
Microdeletion syndrome is a syndrome caused by a chromosomal deletion smaller than 5 million base pairs (5 Mb) spanning several genes that is too small to be detected by conventional cytogenetic methods or high resolution karyotyping (2–5 Mb).[1][2] Detection is done by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Larger chromosomal deletion syndromes are detectable using karyotyping techniques.
Examples
- DiGeorge syndrome or velocardiofacial syndrome[3] – most common microdeletion syndrome
- Prader–Willi syndrome[4][5]
- Angelman syndrome[4]
- Neurofibromatosis type 1[6]
- Neurofibromatosis type II[7][8]
- Williams syndrome[9]
- Miller–Dieker syndrome[10]
- Smith–Magenis syndrome[11]
- Rubinstein–Taybi syndrome[12]
- Wolf–Hirschhorn syndrome[13]
Management
No cure is available for these genetically inherited disorders. Genetic counseling is required.
