Interstitial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 4, excluding cytoband p16, has been described as a distinct phenotype from the Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, characterized by a deletion encompassing cytoband p16. We report on the case of a 14-month-old boy with an apparently isolated craniosynostosis and harboring a de novo microdeletion in band 4p15. The imbalance, about 4 Mb in size is, to date, the smallest deletion ever described in this region, encompassing 12 genes. A comparison with other previously described cases of 4p15 deletion is made, and the possible roles of some genes involved in the deletion are discussed.

Background: Contiguous gene deletion in the short arm of chromosome 4 is linked to various neurodevelopmental disorders.
Methods: In this study, we conducted peripheral blood chromosome G-banding karyotyping and whole-exome sequencing (WES) on a proband presenting with anal atresia, global developmental delay, lymphocytosis, and other multisystem anomalies. Additionally, chromosome G-banding karyotyping was also carried out on the proband's parents and brother.

Educational attainment (EA), socioeconomic status (SES) and cognition are phenotypically and genetically linked to health outcomes. However, the role of copy number variations (CNVs) in influencing EA/SES/cognition remains unclear. Using a large-scale (n = 305,401) genome-wide CNV-level association analysis, we discovered 33 CNV loci significantly associated with EA/SES/cognition, 20 of which were novel (deletions at 2p22.

Chromosome 4p deletions can lead to two distinct phenotypic outcomes: Wolf--Hirschhorn syndrome (a terminal deletion at 4p16.3) and less frequently reported proximal interstitial deletions (4p11-p16). Proximal 4p interstitial deletions can result in mild to moderate intellectual disability, facial dysmorphisms, and a tall thin body habitus.

Complex chromosomal rearrangements involve the restructuring of genetic material within a single chromosome or across multiple chromosomes. These events can cause serious human disease by disrupting coding DNA and gene regulatory elements via deletions, duplications, and structural rearrangements. Here we describe a 5-year-old female with severe developmental delay, dysmorphic features, multi-suture craniosynostosis, and growth failure found to have a complex series of balanced intra- and inter-chromosomal rearrangements involving chromosomes 4, 11, 13, and X.

Objective: To explore the cause of abortion and strategy of prenatal diagnosis for pregnant women with high risk for chromosomal abnormalities by using copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) and short tandem repeats (STR) analysis.
Methods: A total of 36 samples were collected, including amniotic fluid, abortion tissue, whole blood, chorionic villi and umbilical cord blood. CNV-seq and STR analysis were carried out to detect microdeletions, microduplications, chromosomal aneuploidies, mosaicisms and triploidies.
