Interstitial 7q deletion [46,XY,del (7) (pter----cen::q112----qter)] in a retarded quadriplegic boy with normal beta glucuronidase. 1986

M Frydman, and J Steinberger, and F Shabtai, and R Steinherz

A 14-year-old severely retarded male with deletion of chromosomal band 7 cen----q112 is described. Clinical features include short stature, microcephaly, unusual facies with narrow forehead, short nose, malar hypoplasia, protruding alveolar ridges and incisors, receding chin, relatively long philtrum, and large ears. In addition, he had bilateral inguinal herniae cryptorchidism with hypogonadism, pulmonic stenosis, and spastic quadriplegia. Normal activity of beta-glucuronidase was found in the patient's leukocytes. This finding suggests that the gene is not in the deleted region, narrowing the smallest region of overlap to 7q112----q22.

D008297 Male Males
D008607 Intellectual Disability Subnormal intellectual functioning which originates during the developmental period. This has multiple potential etiologies, including genetic defects and perinatal insults. Intelligence quotient (IQ) scores are commonly used to determine whether an individual has an intellectual disability. IQ scores between 70 and 79 are in the borderline range. Scores below 67 are in the disabled range.

D011782 Quadriplegia Severe or complete loss of motor function in all four limbs which may result from BRAIN DISEASES; SPINAL CORD DISEASES; PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASES; or rarely MUSCULAR DISEASES. The locked-in syndrome is characterized by quadriplegia in combination with cranial muscle paralysis. Consciousness is spared and the only retained voluntary motor activity may be limited eye movements. This condition is usually caused by a lesion in the upper BRAIN STEM which injures the descending cortico-spinal and cortico-bulbar tracts.
