Researchers Discover Genetic Syndrome Linked To Inherited
Birth Disorder
Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a genetic syndrome -- an
*INHERITED* birth disorder characterized by *LEARNING_DISABILITIES*
and mental retardation. It has been previously misdiagnosed or
undiagnosed.
Researchers also discovered the syndrome’s genetic basis: a rearrange-
ment of DNA called "microduplication." When microduplication occurs,
DNA segments are repeated and this causes a surplus of genes. Micro-
duplication is little-studied mechanism underlying the origin of
human diseases, and Mayo Clinic researchers are in the forefront of
scientists producing evidence for its impact. Their work is made
possible by the February 2001 completion of the federal Human Genome
Project...The Mayo Clinic research, "Microduplication 22q11.2: An
Emerging Syndrome," appears in the November American Journal of Human
Genetics (73:1027-40) (http://www.ajhg.org/AJHG/journal).
Specific symptoms of this syndrome may include...degrees
of *MENTAL_IMPAIRMENT*...The risk of inheriting this syndrome
is 50 percent for a child with one parent affected by it and
it’s highly likely that it runs in families[...]
