The duplication 17p11.2 syndrome, associated with dup(17)(p11.2p11.2), is a recently recognized syndrome of multiple congenital anomalies and mental retardation and is the first predicted reciprocal microduplication syndrome described—the homologous recombination reciprocal of the Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) microdeletion (del(17)(p11.2p11.2)). We previously described seven subjects with dup(17)(p11.2p11.2) and noted their relatively mild phenotype compared with that of individuals with SMS. Here, we molecularly analyzed 28 additional patients, using multiple independent assays, and also report the phenotypic characteristics obtained from extensive multidisciplinary clinical study of a subset of these patients. Whereas the majority of subjects (22 of 35) harbor the homologous recombination reciprocal product of the common SMS microdeletion (∼3.7 Mb), 13 subjects (∼37%) have nonrecurrent duplications ranging in size from 1.3 to 15.2 Mb. Molecular studies suggest potential mechanistic differences between nonrecurrent duplications and nonrecurrent genomic deletions. Clinical features observed in patients with the common dup(17)(p11.2p11.2) are distinct from those seen with SMS and include infantile hypotonia, failure to thrive, mental retardation, autistic features, sleep apnea, and structural cardiovascular anomalies. We narrow the critical region to a 1.3-Mb genomic interval that contains the dosage-sensitive RAI1 gene. Our results refine the critical region for Potocki-Lupski syndrome, provide information to assist in clinical diagnosis and management, and lend further support for the concept that genomic architecture incites genomic instability.

Because duplication 17p11.2 syndrome is a distinct clinical entity from its recombination reciprocal and because the cytogenetic nomenclature can be cumbersome when used to refer to affected individuals, we propose that this newly characterized microduplication syndrome be referred to by the eponym “Potocki-Lupski syndrome” (PLS). Thirty-five subjects (table 1) with duplication of the proximal short arm of chromosome 17 were enrolled in a molecular protocol that was approved by the Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) Institutional Review Board (IRB). Of these subjects, 10 (age range 25 mo to 14.5 years; 6 males) also participated in a BCM IRB–approved multidisciplinary clinical study through the GCRC at the Texas Children’s Hospital. Informed consent was obtained from the participants and parents or legal guardians. All but two were ascertained through an abnormal G-banded chromosome analysis, although many subjects had at least one chromosome analysis that was interpreted as normal. The diagnosis for two recently identified patients was confirmed by a commercially available array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) performed after a normal G-banded chromosome analysis (patients 2543 and 2555) and subtelomeric FISH analysis (patient 2543).Table 1Summary of Cytogenetic and Molecular Analyses of SubjectsBreakpointcThese breakpoint data are from array CGH. “Outside” indicates that the breakpoint is outside array detection.SubjectaLaboratory numbers are given, and citations of references are included if the subject was described elsewhere.KaryotypeDuplication Type (Size in Mb)MechanismbM = maternal;

All subjects except 621 were duplicated by FISH analysis performed with FLI1 and/or RAI1. Clinical evaluations performed at the GCRC included physical examination, developmental and cognitive profiles, psychiatric history and diagnostic review, speech and language assessment, ophthalmologic and otolaryngologic examinations, audiologic assessment, swallow-function study, echocardiogram, electrocardiogram, overnight sleep study and multiple sleep latency test that included an EEG, renal ultrasound, scoliosis survey, radiographs of forearms and hands, fasting lipid profile, and thyroid function studies. Available medical records and previously reported data were reviewed for the subjects who did not participate in the multidisciplinary clinical protocol.
