Article Synopsis
- - The text discusses a rare genetic condition caused by a microdeletion in chromosome 16p13.11, which leads to developmental delays, neuropsychiatric issues, and various physical abnormalities.
- - A specific case report details a patient with facial dysmorphisms, autistic traits, and language delays, confirmed by genetic testing to have a 1.5 Mb deletion on chromosome 16.
- - Notably, this patient exhibited autism and significant language and motor challenges, but lacked the cognitive deficits typically seen with this genetic syndrome.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is one of the most common neurodevelopment disorders, characterized by a multifactorial etiology based on the interaction of genetic and environmental factors.
