Presentation
Stereotyped behaviors are also present and these are similar to Rett syndrome or Angelman syndrome. [scielo.br]
Growth delay, feeding difficulties, and distinct facial features were often the presenting early symptoms of 15q24 deletion syndrome. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
With the advent of array CGH, we anticipate that the present number of reported cases represents an underestimate of the actual prevalence of the disorder. [go.gale.com]
This method is very useful for obtaining the CI for statistics which are difficult to calculate (no closed form or with hypotheses which are not present). [peerj.com]
A shared segmental duplication is present at BP1, BP2 and BP3 (>51 kb, > 94% identity, represented by green/red arrows, indicating identity to BP2 and BP3, respectively). [academic.oup.com]

Parental FISH and/or aCGH should be offered to the parents when 15q24 deletion is detected in a child. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
A blood test known as FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) involves attaching fluorescent probes to the specific area of interest and is frequently used for testing family members of affected individuals. 15q24 deletion syndrome is caused by a small [my46.org]
FISH analysis in the mother of C45/06 using probes outside and within the deletion region did not show any evidence for inversions of 15q24 (data not shown). Table 1. [academic.oup.com]
