title: A 15q24 microduplication, reciprocal to the recently described 15q24 microdeletion, in a boy sharing clinical features with 15q24 microdeletion syndrome patients.
abstract: A 15q24 microduplication, reciprocal to the minimal critical region for the recently described 15q24 microdeletion syndrome, was found in a 2-year-old boy by 244k Agilent oligoarray CGH analysis. The boy had global developmental delay and dysmorphic facial features, digital and genital abnormalities. The duplication was inherited from a healthy father, but was considered clinically significant, as the patient shared clinical features with 15q24 microdeletion syndrome patients. To our knowledge this is the first report of a patient with a 15q24 microduplication.
