Terminal deletions of long arm of chromosome 13 are rare and poorly characterized by cytogenetic studies, making for difficult genotype-phenotype correlations. We report two siblings presenting generalized epilepsy, intellectual disability, and genitourinary tract defects. Array CGH detected a 1.3 Mb deletion at 13q34; it contains two protein-coding genes, SOX1 and ARHGEF7, whose haploinsufficiency can contribute to the epileptic phenotype.

Abstract
Terminal deletions of long arm of chromosome 13 are rare and poorly characterized by cytogenetic studies, making for difficult genotype-phenotype correlations. We report two siblings presenting generalized epilepsy, intellectual disability, and genitourinary tract defects. Array CGH detected a 1.3 Mb deletion at 13q34; it contains two protein-coding genes, SOX1 and ARHGEF7, whose haploinsufficiency can contribute to the epileptic phenotype.File in questo prodotto:
