Of interest to the Repository are phenotypically abnormal probands with apparently balanced de novo chromosomal rearrangements, probands with balanced or unbalanced cryptic translocations, probands who are phenotypically abnormal due to uniparental disomy, and probands with small chromosomal deletions or duplications of any kind and especially those associated with the following syndromes: Angelman, Beckwith-Wiedemann, Charcot-Marie-Tooth (Type 1A), DiGeorge, Langer-Giedeon, Kallmann, Miller-Dieker, Rubenstein-Taybi, Smith-Magenis, Wolf-Hirschhorn, velocardiofacial, glycerol kinase deficiency, and adrenal hypoplasia congenita. Investigators interested in submitting specimens are encouraged to contact the NIGMS Repository to arrange for submission of specimens.
