Purpose : Williams syndrome is characterized by supravalvular aortic stenosis, mental retardation and peculiar facial appearance. Its genetic etiology is considered to be a hemizygotic deletion in Chromosome 7q11.23, which includes the elastin gene. We examined the hemizygotic deletion of Chromosome 7q11.23 in 12 Korean Williams syndrome patients and 8 patients with isolated supravalvular aortic stenosis and performed deletion mapping... |

reported to be transferable from mother to fetus through the placenta, but there have been some
controversies in case of IgG2.
