Background: Recurrent 10p15.3 microdeletion syndrome is a rare multisystem disorder characterized by abnormal facial features, global developmental delay (DD)/intellectual disability (ID), short stature, hand/foot malformation, and congenital heart defects (CHDs). However, the specific genetic defects that contribute to the cardiac phenotype remain unclear.

Objective: This study investigates the association between alobar holoprosencephaly (HPE) and de novo germline microdeletions in the Xq25 region. To develop a Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorders (PGT-M) based workflow enabling high-resolution preimplantation detection of sub-Mb microdeletions, overcoming the >1 Mb resolution limit of conventional whole genome amplification(WGA) copy number variation(CNV) sequencing to identify causative Xq25 variants and prevent pathogenic microdeletion transmission.

Methods: This study presents a clinical case involving a couple with an adverse obstetric history accompanied by two occurrences of HPE.

Here we present a case of Dravet syndrome in which a novel heterozygous deletion involving the promoter region of the SCN1A gene was identified using next-generation sequencing and multiple ligation-dependent probe amplification. This microdeletion is believed to reduce SCN1A transcription, leading to haploinsufficiency. This case highlights the importance of early genetic analysis, including that of promoter regions, before the diagnostic criteria are met for the induction of specific treatments.

Human 15q13.3 microdeletion syndrome (15q13mds) is a genetic disorder caused by a heterozygous deletion of multiple genes, including the CHRNA7 gene, which encodes the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR). This condition is associated with significant neurodevelopmental impairments and an increased risk of seizures, with studies indicating reduced α7 nAChR expression in affected individuals.

Alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of pulmonary veins (ACDMPV) is a rare, often fatal congenital disorder characterized by severe neonatal respiratory distress and associated with complex multisystem malformations. In approximately 90% of cases, the condition is linked to deletions or mutations affecting the gene or its upstream enhancer region on chromosome 16q24.1.
