De Novo Interstitial Deletion of 9q in a Pediatric Patient With Global Developmental Delay.

Cytogenomic microarray (CMA) methodologies, including array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) and single-nucleotide polymorphism-detecting arrays (SNP-array), are recommended as the first-tier test for the evaluation of imbalances associated with intellectual disability, autism, and multiple congenital anomalies. The authors report on a child with global developmental delay (GDD) and a interstitial 7.0 Mb deletion of 9q21.
