Description
This CNV is a 12.4 Mb duplication of 3q26.31-q27.3 on chromosome 3, (seq[GRCh37]dup(3)(q26.31q27.3); chr3:g.175119199_187592480dup), that was identified in a de novo state. This CNV constitutes a gain encompassing 81 protein-coding genes. At least one individual with a similar de novo gain presenting with dysmorphic features and musculoskeletal system abnormalities has been reported in the DECIPHER database (Firth et al. 2009). Dwarschak et al. (2017) present a review of individuals reported in the literature with partial duplications of 3q. The sizes of CNVs varies among reported individuals as well as the clinical presentation. Common recurrent features include microcephaly, intellectual disability, growth retardation, hypotonia, genitourinary anomalies, abnormalities of the hands and feet, renal anomalies, congenital heart defects, and variable facial dysmorphism. Brain anomalies and seizures were also reported. Based on the available evidence, this CNV is classified as pathogenic.
