| Abstract | Owing to the large size of chromosome 2, partial monosomy of the long arm of this chromosome gives rise to many specific phenotypes. We report on a 2-month-old girl with an interstitial deletion of 2q24.2q24.3, which was confirmed by microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization analysis. The patient showed delayed growth and mental retardation, early myoclonic seizures, and characteristic dysmorphic features including thick arched eyebrows, upslanting palpebral fissures, long eyelashes, depressed nasal bridge, short nose, long philtrum, small mouth, micrognathia, and low set ears. Her early myoclonic seizures were likely due to haploinsufficiency of SCN1A and SCN2A, which are included in the deletion region. When she experienced acute bronchopneumonia, she showed severe pulmonary emphysema. The deletion region of 2q24.2 includes the integrin beta6 gene (ITGB6), which may prevent acute lung injury and pulmonary emphysema. Many previously reported patients with deletions of 2q24.2 showed poor outcomes because of respiratory failure. These observations suggest the possibility of a strong relationship between haploinsufficiency of ITGB6 and pulmonary dysfunction. |

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.
