In this report, we describe a 7 years old male with mental retardation, cryptorchid testes, short stature and alopecia carrying only an interstitial de novo deletion of 911 Kb in the 1q43 region (239,597,095-240,508,817) encompassing three genes CHRM3, RPS7P5 and FMN2.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22186213?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Athanasakis, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biarnés, X</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bonati, M T</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faletra, F</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Identification of a New Mutation (L46P) in the Human NOG Gene in an Italian Patient with Symphalangism Syndrome.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Syndromol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Syndromol</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012 Jun</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21-24</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ENG</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Proximal symphalangism (SYM1) is a joint morphogenesis disorder characterized by stapes ankylosis, proximal interphalangeal joint fusion, skeletal anomalies and conductive hearing loss. Noggin is a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonist essential for normal bone and joint development in humans and mice. Autosomal dominant mutations have been described in the NOG gene, encoding the noggin protein. We analyzed an Italian sporadic patient with SYM1 due to a novel NOG mutation (L46P) based on a c.137T&gt;C transition. A different pathogenic mutation in the same codon (L46D) has been previously described in an in vivo chicken model. An in silico model shows a decreased binding affinity between noggin and BMP7 for both L46D and L46P compared to the wild type. Therefore, this codon should play an important role in BMP7 binding activity of the noggin protein and consequently to the joint morphogenesis.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22855651?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faletra, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berti, I</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecile, V</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cleva, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alberini, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bruno, I</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, P</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phylloid pattern of hypomelanosis closely related to chromosomal abnormalities in the 13q detected by SNP array analysis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dermatology</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dermatology (Basel)</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chromosomes, Human, Pair 13</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hypopigmentation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mosaicism</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oligonucleotide Array Sequence Analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">225</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">294-7</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Phylloid hypomelanosis is a distinct type of pigmentary mosaicism characterized by congenital hypochromic macules resembling a floral ornament with various elements such as round or oval patches, asymmetrical macules similar to begonia leaves, or oblong lesions. It has been found to be predominantly associated with abnormalities in chromosome 13 and sometimes as-sociated with different extracutaneous abnormalities. Here, we report 2 new cases of phylloid hypomelanosis due to mosaicism involving chromosome 13. The first one is a mosaicism for a supernumerary marker belonging to chromosome 13 and the second one is the first report of phylloid hypomelanosis associated with a mosaic deletion of 13q. Because of the extremely low level of mosaicism in these 2 cases, SNP array analysis on skin fibroblasts was carried out, showing a 13q21.33-q34 duplication (71,024,411-115,103,529) and a 13q13.3-q34 (38,368,012-115,103,529) deletion. Both cases underline on the one hand the strict connection between phylloid hypomelanosis and anomalies of chromosome 13, and on the other hand the relevance of the SNP array analysis on skin fibroblasts in the detection of low-level mosaicism.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23095783?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Athanasakis, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fabretto, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faletra, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mocenigo, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morgan, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, P</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Two Novel COH1 Mutations in an Italian Patient with Cohen Syndrome.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Syndromol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Syndromol</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012 Jun</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">30-33</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ENG</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Cohen syndrome (CS) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the COH1 gene. It is characterized by intellectual disability, hypotonia, joint hyperlaxity, severe myopia, characteristic facial dysmorphisms and, in some cases, intermittent isolated neutropenia. We investigated an Italian patient with CS together with his family. Genetic analysis disclosed 2 novel mutations: the first is an intronic mutation (c.8697-9A&gt;G) creating a new splice site 8 nucleotides upstream, and the second is a duplication of 1 base (c.10156dupA) generating a premature stop codon.
