| Abstract | Constitutional microdeletions affecting 3q13.2q13.31 are rare and attempts for genotype-phenotype correlations have only recently been made in a cohort of 28 patients. The major phenotypic features of this rare syndrome are hypotonia, developmental delay, and facial anomalies. In this study, we report on a male infant with a novel reciprocal 3.671 Mb microduplication at the genomic region 3q13.2q13.31 associated with dysmorphic features and multiple congenital anomalies. The current patient was investigated by high-resolution array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH). This is the first report of a microduplication 3q13.2q13.31 that shares a lot of common clinical features with those carrying the microdeletion. The 3q13.2q13.31 duplicated region in our patient contains nine dosage sensitive genes, amongst them the genes ATG3, CCDC80, KIAA2018, NAA50, ZDHHC23, DRD3, ZBTB20, GAP43, LSAMP. As it is the case for many other well-described reciprocal deletion/duplication syndromes, some have very different clinical features (Williams-Beuren deletion syndrome, WBS/WBS triplication) [Somerville et al. (2005); N Engl J Med 353:1694-1701], while others share similar phenotypic features (22q11.2 microdeletion/microduplication) [Portnoi (2009); Eur J Med Genet 52:88-93]. In conclusion, we describe the main phenotypic features of a possibly novel microduplication 3q13.2q13.31 syndrome. Additionally five of the dosage-sensitive genes and BOC gene are suggested to be responsible for the main phenotypic features. Evaluation of multiple patients with the microduplication is needed for full delineation of this syndrome. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
