1p36 deletion syndrome confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization and array-comparative genomic hybridization analysis
Dong Soo Kang, Eunsim Shin, Jeesuk Yu
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2016;59(Suppl 1):S14-S18.   Published online November 30, 2016

Pediatric epilepsy can be caused by various conditions, including specific syndromes. 1p36 deletion syndrome is reported in 1 in 5,000–10,000 newborns, and its characteristic clinical features include developmental delay, mental retardation, hypotonia, congenital heart defects, seizure, and facial dysmorphism. However, detection of the terminal deletion in chromosome 1p by conventional G-banded karyotyping is difficult. Here we present a case of...

Utility of a multiplex reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction assay (HemaVision) in the evaluation of genetic abnormalities in Korean children with acute leukemia: a single institution study

Purpose

In children with acute leukemia, bone marrow genetic abnormalities (GA) have prognostic significance, and may be the basis for minimal residual disease monitoring. Since April 2007, we have used a multiplex reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction tool (HemaVision) to detect of GA.

Methods

In this study, we reviewed the results of HemaVision screening in 270 children with acute leukemia, newly diagnosed at The...

Microdeletion of Chromosome 7 in Williams Syndrome and Supravalvular Aortic Stenosis
Ho Sung Kim, Yoon Sung Kang, Kyung Hyo Kim, Young Mi Hong, Yong Soo Yun, Kwang Ho Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1999;42(1):47-59.   Published online January 15, 1999
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...
