Description : The deletion of a 220-kb region on chromosome 16p11.2 encompassing approximately 9
genes, including the SH2B1 gene (608937), is associated with a highly penetrant form
of isolated severe early-onset obesity as well as obesity with developmental delay
(summary by Bachmann-Gagescu et al., 2010). An extended 1.7-Mb deletion of chromosome
16p11.2 containing both the 220-kb region and the proximal 593-kb region associated
autism (see 611913) has been reported in 2 patients with a syndrome of autism, mental
retardation, and obesity and in 2 patients with pervasive developmental disorder,
auditory processing difficulties, and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder but
not obesity. For a phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity
of body mass index (BMI), see 606641.;
