We report a 32-month-old female of Peruvian ethnicity identified with a rare 20q13.2-q13.33 deletion using microarray analysis. She presented with intellectual disability, absent speech, hypotonia, pre- and post-natal growth retardation and an abnormal face with a unilateral cleft lip. Clinical features and genetic findings with the loss of 30 genes, including and , are described in relationship to the very few cases of 20q13 deletion reported in the literature. Deletion of this region may play an important role in neurodevelopment and function and in causing specific craniofacial features.
我们报告了一名32个月大的秘鲁裔女性,通过微阵列分析确定其存在罕见的20q13.2 - q13.33缺失。她表现出智力残疾、无言语能力、肌张力减退、产前和产后生长发育迟缓以及单侧唇裂的异常面容。结合文献中报道的极少数20q13缺失病例,描述了包括[具体基因1]和[具体基因2]在内的30个基因缺失的临床特征和基因发现。该区域的缺失可能在神经发育和功能以及导致特定颅面特征方面发挥重要作用。
