Preferred Label : Chromosome 15q13.3 deletion syndrome;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Description : Heterozygous deletion of chromosome 15q13.3 is associated with a highly variable phenotype, even within families segregating the same deletion. Individuals with the deletion may have mild to moderate mental retardation or learning difficulties, or may have no cognitive deficits. Some individuals have epilepsy. Various dysmorphic features have been described, but there is no consistent or recognizable phenotype (review by van Bon et al., 2009). Patients with homozygous deletions in this region have severe neurodevelopmental problems, with epileptic encephalopathy, hypotonia, and poor growth (Endris et al., 2010).;
