Figure 1 Breakpoint sequence and putative mutation mechanism of the novel 11p13 microdeletion. Nonallelic homologous recombination between two highly homologous Alu elements on chromosome 11 (89% nucleotide identity; positions 32344139–32344450 and 33385196–33385460) is depicted as the likely mechanism underlying the deletion observed in the proband. An electropherogram of the breakpoint sequence of the allele harbouring the 11p13 deletion is also shown, as well as the genes within the deleted region. The coordinates of proximal and distal breakpoints are also indicated (UCSC Human Mar 2006 Assembly: NCBI36/hg18).
