“…To the best of our knowledge, the proximal 4q chromosomal aberrations identified in patients with neurodevelopmental phenotypes are rare, non recurrent, heterogeneous in size (usually affecting several megabases of sequence) and breakpoints and, in consequence, involve different chromosome bands and a high number of genes [Zollino et al, ; Nowaczyk et al, ; Shashi et al, ; Eggermann et al, ; Bonnet et al, ; Lipska et al, ; Assawamakin et al, ; Girirajan et al, ; Matoso et al, ; Shimada et al, ; Hemati et al, 2014; Utine et al, ]. Amongst these alterations we can distinguish chromosomal aberrations restricted to 4q13 chromosome bands [Girirajan et al, ; Matoso et al, ; Shimada et al, ] (Table ), as those of our patients, from larger alterations involving additional chromosome bands [Zollino et al, ; Nowaczyk et al, ; Shashi et al, ; Eggermann et al, ; Bonnet et al, ; Lipska et al, ; Assawamakin et al, ; Hemati et al, 2014; Utine et al, ]. Figure is an schematic overview of the proximal 4q region showing the SNP array results in our patients, previously reported chromosomal alterations restricted to 4q13 chromosome bands and OMIM‐morbidity and candidate genes implicated in this interval (Fig.…”
