Abstract

There is only one report of patients with developmental delay due to a 6q16.1 deletion that does not contain the SIM1 gene. A 3-year-old female showed strabismus, cleft soft palate, hypotonia at birth, and global developmental delay. Exome sequencing detected a de novo 6q16.1 deletion (chr6: 99282717-100062596) (hg19). The following genes were included in this region: POU3F2, FBXL4, FAXC, COQ3, PNISR, USP45, TSTD3, CCNC, and PRDM13.
