Potocki-Lupski syndrome is a microduplication syndrome associated with duplication at 17p11.2. Features include facial dysmorphism, moderate to mild cognitive impairment and behavioural abnormalities including autism spectrum disorders.
We describe a patient from Sri Lanka that was referred for genetic assessment at 4 years of age due to subtle facial dysmorphism and expressive language impairment. She was diagnosed with Potocki-Lupski syndrome through multiplex ligation probe amplification. She carried two duplications; one in 17p11.2 consistent with Potocki-Lupski, and one in Xq including the region for X-linked intellectual disability.
Despite the absence of expected behavioural symptoms, many features of this patient are in accordance with Potocki-Lupski syndrome. This is the first diagnosed patient in Sri Lanka.
波托基-卢普斯基综合征是一种与17p11.2重复相关的微重复综合征。其特征包括面部畸形、中度至轻度认知障碍以及行为异常,包括自闭症谱系障碍。
我们描述了一名来自斯里兰卡的患者,该患者因轻微面部畸形和表达性语言障碍在4岁时被转诊进行基因评估。通过多重连接探针扩增,她被诊断为波托基-卢普斯基综合征。她携带两个重复;一个在17p11.2,与波托基-卢普斯基综合征相符,另一个在Xq,包括与X连锁智力障碍相关的区域。
尽管该患者没有预期的行为症状,但许多特征符合波托基-卢普斯基综合征。这是斯里兰卡首例确诊患者。
