| Abstract | We report on two siblings (half brothers on the paternal side) with a syndrome consisting of delayed development, cardiac anomalies, chest deformity, hip rotation, metatarsus adductus, genital hypoplasia, dysmorphic face, depressed nasal bridge, mental retardation, and speech delay. All metaphases examined showed a normal karyotype in the patients, their father, and both mothers. High-resolution array CGH examination revealed a 16q (6 Mb) duplication dup(16)(16q23.3 --> 16qter) and a 5p (0.97 Mb) terminal deletion del(5)(p15.32 --> pter) in both affected boys but not their healthy siblings or parents. Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) confirmed both the 16q duplicated region and the 5p terminal deletion. Clinical abnormalities in the patients included thin upper lip, clinodactyly, and foot deformity, which were reported previously with duplications in 16q23.3. Pectus excavatum, hip rotation, metatarsus adductus, umbilical hernia, brachycephaly, and esotropia were not reported previously in chromosome 16q duplications but may be features that occur intermittently. The 5p deleted region has been associated previously only with speech delay, which was present in both patients. These patients display certain phenotypic characteristics not reported previously in 16q duplication and confirm 5p terminal deletion as an important chromosome anomaly for speech delay. |

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.
