6q13q14.3 Microdeletion Syndrome with Severe Hypotonia and Facial Dysmorphism: Genotype–Phenotype Correlation

Hypotonia is a symptom of diminished tone of skeletal muscle and can be nongenetic or a part of genetic syndrome. Hypotonia, developmental delay, and facial dysmorphism are nonspecific findings observed in many genetic syndromes mostly in chromosomal microdeletion and duplication. Here we report a case with severe hypotonia and facial dysmorphism, diagnosed with deletion at 6q13q14.3 by array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) at very early age. Recent genetic diagnostic technologies such as array CGH may enable clinicians to diagnose chromosomal abnormalities earlier and provide appropriate medical management
