A case of Hirschsprung disease with a chromosome 13 microdeletion, del(13)(q32.3q33.2): potential mapping of one disease locus

A Bottani et al. Hum Genet. 1991 Oct.

Abstract

A mentally retarded boy with discrete physical findings, Hirschsprung disease (HD) and a microdeletion of 13q,del(13)(q32.3q33.2) is described. Band 13q33.1 was consistently missing in all cells. There have been, to date, 4 published cases of deletions involving the long arm of chromosome 13 associated with HD: the interstitial deletion reported here is much smaller than, and it partially overlaps with, the previously reported deletions; it could be helpful for mapping one of the genes involved in this disease.
