“…6, 11, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47 Recent reviews and reports on the genetics of TS 3, 45, 48 have identified at least 28 large independent genomic rearrangements and CNVs with unique breakpoints including deletions, insertions, duplications, inversions and inter-chromosomal translocations. 6, 11, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47 Of the rearrangements that have been characterised, approximately one third have directly disrupted genes (Table 1), whereas the remainder have breakpoints within intergenic regions (Table 2). 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, 31, 32, 37, 44, 45 Intergenic breakpoints are of great interest as they can lead to the dysregulation of a neighbouring gene(s) even when separated by very long distances.…”
