Submicroscopic deletion of chromosome region 16p13.3 in a Japanese patient with Rubinstein‐Taybi syndrome

Abstract
In a series of 25 Japanese patients with Rubinstein‐Taybi syndrome, we screened, by high‐resolution GTG banding and fluorescence in situ hybridization of a cosmid probe (RT1, D16S237), for microdeletions associated with this syndrome. In one patient, a microdeletion was demonstrated by in situ hybridization, but none were detected by high‐resolution banding.
