Rare pathogenic microdeletions and tandem duplications are microhomology-mediated and stimulated by local genomic architecture (2009)

Bhatt, Samarth S., Janssen, Irene M., Xia, Zhilian, Lalani, Seema R., Pfundt, Rolph, ...

Genomic copy number variation (CNV) plays a major role in various human diseases as well as in normal phenotypic variability. For some recurrent disease-causing CNVs that convey genomic disorders,...

Coarctation of the aorta and mild to moderate developmental delay in a child with a de novodeletion of chromosome 15(q21.1q22.2) (2006)

Lalani, Seema R, Sahoo, Trilochan, Sanders, Merideth E, Peters, Sarika U, Bejjani, Bassem A

Abstract Background Deletion of 15q21q22 is a rare chromosomal anomaly. To date, there have been nine reports describing ten individuals with different segmental losses involving 15q21 and 15q22....

SNP genotyping to screen for a common deletion in CHARGE Syndrome (2005)

Lalani, Seema R, Safiullah, Arsalan M, Fernbach, Susan D, Phillips, Michael, Bacino, Carlos A, Molinari, Laura M, ...

Abstract Background CHARGE syndrome is a complex of birth defects including coloboma, choanal atresia, ear malformations and deafness, cardiac defects, and growth delay. We have previously...

22q11.2 Distal Deletion: A Recurrent Genomic Disorder Distinct from DiGeorge Syndrome and Velocardiofacial Syndrome

Ben-Shachar, Shay, Ou, Zhishuo, Shaw, Chad A., Belmont, John W., Patel, Millan S., Hummel, Marybeth, ...

Microdeletions within chromosome 22q11.2 cause a variable phenotype, including DiGeorge syndrome (DGS) and velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS). About 97% of patients with DGS/VCFS have either a common...
