Description
The copy number gain of 15q24.3q26.3 involves multiple chromosomal bands and is expected to cause phenotypic and/or developmental abnormalities. It includes 13 genes associated with autosomal dominant disorders. Terminal duplications of 15q25q26 have been associated with a prenatal and postnatal overgrowth syndrome characterized by tall stature, renal abnormalities, variable intellectual disability, and craniofacial abnormalities including macrocephaly and craniosynostosis (Cannarella 2017, Gutierrez-Franco 2010, Kim 2011, O'Connor 2011, Zollino 1999). The genes IGF1R (OMIM 147370) or LRRK1 (OMIM 610986) have been proposed as candidate genes for the overgrowth phenotype, both of which are encompassed in the current gain interval (Leffler 2016, Tatton-Brown 2009, Roggenbuck 2004, Allen 1992).
