| Scope Statement | FISH can be used to detect deletions of 4p16.3, the critical region for the phenotype [MISCELLANEOUS]
Size of deletion varies from cytogenetically visible deletions to undetectable cytogenetic deletions [MISCELLANEOUS]
Sex ratio 2 females to 1 male [MISCELLANEOUS]
Contiguous gene deletion syndrome [MISCELLANEOUS]
Approximately 35% of patients die during the first 2 years of life [MISCELLANEOUS]
Due to hemizygous deletion of 4p16.3 [MOLECULAR BASIS]
The frequency is estimated at 1/20,000 to 1/50,000 births [MISCELLANEOUS]
De novo deletions in 87% of patients (preferentially paternally derived) [MISCELLANEOUS]
13% of cases secondary to familial translocation (often maternally derived) [MISCELLANEOUS]
