Cognitive-Behavioral Profile in Pediatric Patients with Syndrome 5p-; Genotype-Phenotype Correlationships.

(1) Background: 5p minus Syndrome (S5p-) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by a deletion in the short arm of chromosome 5. Among the phenotypic characteristics of S5p-, the most characteristic and representative element is a monochromatic cry with a high-pitched tone reminiscent of a cat's meow. Individuals may also show great phenotypic heterogeneity and great genetic variability.

[Prevalence and geographic distribution of the Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome in Spain.].

Objective: Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome is a rare disease of genetic origin caused by the deletion of the distal end of chromosome 4, including at least the region p16.3. The objectives of this work were to determine the prevalence of the disease in the Spanish population, as well as to establish the geographical distribution of the syndrome throughout the Spanish geography, elucidating the age range in which there are more patients.

Variability in Phelan-McDermid Syndrome in a Cohort of 210 Individuals.

Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS, OMIM# 606232) results from either different rearrangements at the distal region of the long arm of chromosome 22 (22q13.3) or pathogenic sequence variants in the gene. codes for a structural protein that plays a central role in the formation of the postsynaptic terminals and the maintenance of synaptic structures.

Deep Phenotyping and Genetic Characterization of a Cohort of 70 Individuals With 5p Minus Syndrome.

Chromosome-5p minus syndrome (5p-Sd, OMIM #123450) formerly known as syndrome results from the loss of genetic material at the distal region of the short arm of chromosome 5. It is a neurodevelopmental disorder of genetic cause. So far, about 400 patients have been reported worldwide.
