title: Neuroblastoma in a boy with MCA/MR syndrome, deletion 11q, and duplication 12q.
abstract: Deletion 11q23-->qter and duplication 12q23-->qter are described in a boy with neuroblastoma, multiple congenital anomalies, and mental retardation. The patient has clinical manifestations of 11q deletion and 12q duplication syndromes. The possible involvement of the segment 11q23-->24 in the cause of the neuroblastoma is discussed.
