Interstitial 2q24.2q24.3 Microdeletion: Two New Cases with Similar Clinical Features with the Exception of Profound Deafness.
Cytogenetic and genome research(2022)
摘要
Interstitial 2q24.2q24.3 microdeletions are rare cytogenetic aberrations associated with heterogeneous clinical features depending on the size of the deletion. Here, we describe 2 patients with overlapping de novo 2q24.2q24.3 deletions, characterized by array-CGH. This is the smallest 2q24.2q24.3 region of overlap described in the literature encompassing only 9 genes (SLC4A10, DPP4, GCG, FAP, IFIH1, GCA, KCNH7, FIGN, GRB14). We focused our attention on SLC4A10, DPP4, and KCNH7, genes associated with neurological features. Our patients presented similar features: intellectual disability, developmental and language delay, hypotonia, joint laxity, and dysmorphic features. Only patient 2 showed profound deafness and also carried a heterozygous mutation of the GJB2 gene responsible for autosomal recessive deafness 1A (DFNB1A: OMIM 220290). Could the disruption of a gene present in the 2q24.2q24.3 deleted region be responsible for her profound hearing loss?
