Core Tip

Core Tip: Chromosome analysis of a young child with developmental delay, cleft palate, hearing loss, and mental retardation indicated 46, XY. Further genetic analysis with comparative genomic hybridization array revealed a deletion in the short arm of chromosome 4 and a gain in the short arm of chromosome 11. The patient’s phenotypic findings were associated with the genes affected by the genomic loss and gain.
