Simple, rapid and inexpensive quantitative fluorescent PCR method for detection of microdeletion and microduplication syndromes. [PDF]
Because of economic limitations, the cost-effective diagnosis of patients affected with rare microdeletion or microduplication syndromes is a challenge in developing countries.

Epilepsy phenotype in patients with Xp22.31 microduplication [PDF]
The clinical significance of Xp22.31 microduplication is still unclear. We describe a family in which a mother and two children have Xp22.31 microduplication associated with different forms of epilepsy and epileptiform EEG abnormalities.

12q14 microduplication: a new clinical entity reciprocal to the microdeletion syndrome? [PDF]
Background 12q14 microdeletion syndrome is characterized by low birth weight and failure to thrive, proportionate short stature and developmental delay. The opposite syndrome (microduplication) has not yet been characterized.

A report on seven fetal cases associated with 15q11‐q13 microdeletion and microduplication
Background The 15q11‐q13 region contains three breakpoints (BP1 to BP3), and copy number variations often occur in the region. Aims 15q11‐q13 microdeletion and microduplication are usually associated with Prader‐Willi and Angelman syndromes, respectively.

Detection of a familial 21q22.3 microduplication in a fetus associated with congenital heart defects
Objective: We present a familial 21q22.3 microduplication in a fetus associated with prenatally detected congenital heart defects (CHD). Case report: A 38-year-old woman underwent amniocentesis at 22 weeks of gestation because of sonographic findings of ...

Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome associated with 7q11.23 microduplication: A case report
Introduction: Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKHS) is characterized by the congenital absence of the uterus and vagina in females with 46, XX karyotype. The genetic etiology remains poorly understood.

Clinical characterization of chromosome 5q21.1–21.3 microduplication: A case report
Chromosomal microdeletions and microduplications likely represent the main genetic etiologies for children with developmental delay or intellectual disability. Through prenatal chromosomal microarray analysis, some microdeletions or microduplications can
