Novel de novo interstitial deletion in 2q36.1q36.3 causes syndromic hearing loss and further delineation of the 2q36 deletion syndrome.
Conclusions and Significance: Our study warns that auditory assessment should be evaluated even if the patient with 2q36 deletion syndrome is not obviously presenting hearing loss. In addition, a comprehensive molecular genetics diagnosis involving multiple methods is important to support accurate genetic characterization of this syndrome.
