Identification of a potential <i>PITX2</i> regulatory deletion.

<p>Genome-wide array CGH identified a deletion of approximately 3.5 Mb in individual 1194 (chr4:111,994,000–115,504,000) (red bar). The deletion is located telomeric to the <i>PITX2</i> gene on chromosome 4. The positions of conserved elements (CE) in the deleted region, as identified by Volkmann et al., 2011 [<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0153757#pone.0153757.ref047" target="_blank">47</a>] are marked by orange ellipses. Genes transcribed on the forward strand are in blue and those transcribed on the reverse strand are in green, also indicated by arrows. Genomic coordinates are shown on the x-axis and are based on the Human Genome Assembly hg18.
