Case Report

Interstitial deletions on the long arm of chromosome 12 (12q deletions) are rare, and are associated with intellectual disability, developmental delay, failure to thrive and congenital anomalies. The precise genotype-phenotype correlations of different deletions has not been completely resolved. Ascertaining individuals with overlapping deletions and complex phenotypes may help to identify causative genes and improve understanding of 12q deletion syndromes. We here describe two individuals with non-overlapping 12q14 deletions encountered at our clinical genetics outpatient clinic and perform a review of all previously published interstitial 12q deletions to further delineate genotype-phenotype correlations. Both individuals presented with a neurodevelopmental disorder with various degrees of intellectual disability, failure to thrive and dysmorphic features. Pr
