A tiny interstitial deletion of 7p was found in a 5-month-old boy with a craniosynostosis and many anomalies. His karyotype was 46,XY,del(7)(p15.3p21.3). Here we present not only further evidence of an association between craniosynostosis and 7p monosomy, but also deletion mapping to indicate that the critical segment for craniosynostosis lies in the mid-portion of 7p21, that is at 7p21.2 or the proximal part of 7p21.3.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
