Abstract
In this report, we describe two unrelated patients with mental retardation and brachydactyly E classified as patients suffering from Albright hereditary osteodystrophy-like (AHO-like) syndrome. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis using 8 different subtelomeric probes in 2q36-37 proved that the patients had subtelomeric 2qter deletions of similar size. The recently proposed candidate gene glypican 1 (GPC1) is deleted in both reported patients.
