BackgroundInterstitial microdeletions of chromosome 1p34.3p34.2 are rare, but are continuing to be identified by the use of chromosome microarray. There have been fewer than 10 individuals identified who have deletions of the 1p34.3p34.2 region; all of these previously described individuals have deletions of the AGO1, AGO3, GRIK3, SLC2A1, or RIMS3 genes. Haploinsufficiency of these genes has been associated with neurodevelopmental delays. MethodsChromosome microarray, quantitative PCR, and fluorescence insitu hybridization were performed with DNA extracted from peripheral blood. ResultsChromosome microarray identified a 2.3Mb 1p34.3p34.2 one copy deletion in our patient with global developmental delay, mild intellectual disability, delayed bone age, bilateral vesicoureteral reflux, vocal cord paralysis, right aberrant subclavian artery, kyphoscoliosis, bilateral metatarsus adductus, and valgus knee deformity. This deletion was confirmed by quantitative PCR and does not include the AGO1, AGO3, GRIK3, SLC2A1, or RIMS3 genes. Subsequent FISH testing of the parents was negative. ConclusionHaploinsufficiency of the 1p34.3p34.2 region, including the SNIP1 gene and excluding the five genes listed above, is responsible for the neurocognitive delays and other symptoms as identified in our patient.
