Presentation
This lead to the diagnosis of NF1 microdeletion syndrome. 1 SHORT REPORT We present a first case report from Oman of a 20‐month‐old male child presenting with a neurofibromatosis‐1 phenotype combined with webbed neck and short stature. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
We present a 3 year old girl, born to consanguineous Sephardic Jewish parents, who are known carriers of Sandhoff disease, for which prenatal diagnosis was performed with normal results. [ashg.org]
Neurofibromatosis type I (NF1) microdeletion syndrome, which is present in 4–11% of NF1 patients, is associated with a severe phenotype as it is caused by the deletion of NF1 and other genes in the 17q11.2 region. [moh-it.pure.elsevier.com]
Case presentation Here we reported a patient carrying a novel de novo deletion at 17q11.2 adjacent to NF1 gene, who presented with developmental delay, short stature, postnatal microcephaly, underweight and dysmorphic features including flat facial profile [molecularcytogenetics.biomedcentral.com]
Here, we present another patient with 17q11.2 duplication and no signs of neurofibromatosis type 1, identified by array-CGH. We compared clinical features and genetic data with those of previously reported patients with 17q11.2 microduplications. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Premature balding, present in the previously reported family, was not present in our cohort, which may be due to the relative younger ages of the subjects. [nature.com]

Clinical Testing and Workup In the past, a specific chromosomal study known as G-band analysis, which demonstrates missing (deleted) material on chromosome 17p, was used to help obtain a diagnosis of SMS. [rarediseases.org]

Standard Therapies Treatment Treatment may require the coordinated efforts of a team of specialists. [rarediseases.org]
Prognosis
The variable expressivity of the disease makes it challenging to establish genotype–phenotype correlations, which also affects prognosis and counselling. We here describe a 3-year-old NF1 patient with an atypical deletion and a complex phenotype. [moh-it.pure.elsevier.com]
Diagnosis - Neurofibromatosis type 1 Prognosis - Neurofibromatosis type 1 Treatment - Neurofibromatosis type 1 There is no cure for the disorder itself. [checkorphan.org]
Prognosis Because of the highly variable nature of SMS, it is impossible to generalize about prognosis for individual cases. [rarediseases.org]
Etiology
Etiology Germline and mosaic microdeletions of the NF1 gene and its flanking regions caused by non-allelic homologous recombination are reported in patients with this disorder. Most occur de novo. [malacards.org]
