A 2.84 Mb deletion at 21q22.11 in a patient clinically diagnosed with Marden-Walker syndrome.

We present a girl with the characteristic clinical picture associated with Marden-Walker syndrome (MWS; OMIM 248700), including mask-like face with blepharophimosis, joint contractures, intellectual disability, a multicystic dysplastic kidney and cerebral dysgenesis. The long-term follow-up allowed us to monitor the evolution of the phenotype in this patient, and among the main findings we highlight the following: demyelination of the pyramidal tract demonstrated by transcranial magnetic stimulation and the involvement of the levator muscles of angle of mouth in fixed facial expression with relative integrity of the rest of the facial expression muscles. A 244 k array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) was carried out and showed a de novo interstitial deletion of approximately 2.
