" /> Chromosome 16p11.2 deletion syndrome, 593-kb - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Chromosome 16p11.2 deletion syndrome, 593-kb;

CISMeF acronym : AUTS14A;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Included titles and symbols : Autism, susceptibility to, 14a; AUTS14A;

Description : Recurrent microdeletions and microduplications of approximately 555 kb at chromosome 16p11.2 confer susceptibility to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in up to 1% of ASD patients (summary by Fernandez et al., 2010). The 16p11.2 deletion frequently cosegregates with severe early-onset obesity (Bochukova et al., 2010; Walters et al., 2010). For a discussion of the clinical features and cytogenetics of the reciprocal 16p11.2 duplication, see 614671. There are several phenotypes associated with variation in pericentric region of chromosome 16: see the 16p12.2-p11.2 deletion syndrome (613604); see 136570 for discussion of a recurrent 520-kb deletion at 16p12.1 associated with developmental delay and craniofacial dysmorphism; and see 613444 for a 220-kb deletion at 16p11.2 associated with isolated severe early-onset obesity and obesity with developmental delay. Battaglia et al. (2009) emphasized that the region at 16p11.2 that confers susceptibility to autism is located more centromeric to and is distinct from 16p12.2-p11.2 region involved in the multiple congenital anomalies and intellectual disabilities phenotype (613604).;
