A Novel Mutation in NIPBL Gene with the Cornelia de Lange Syndrome and a 10q11.22-q11.23 Microdeletion in the Same Individual

Abstract

The Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a genetic disorder characterized by multisystemic malformations. CdLS is due to mutations in one of the following genes: NIPBL, SMC1A, SMC3, RAD21, and HDAC8. On the other hand, 10q11.2 deletions cause a wide range of presentations in patients. Approximately 40 cases with variable deletions of 10q11.2 have been reported in literature. Some of the reported cases involve the coexistence of duplication or deletion affecting one copy of the chromosome. However, deletion of chromosome 10q11.22-q11.23 and CdLS syndrome caused by NIPBL gene mutations have not been reported previously. This report, therefore, is the first to report their coexistence together.
