15q26.3 deletions distal to IGF1R cause growth retardation, congenital heart defect and skeletal anomalies: Case report and review of literature

15q26 deletion is a rare genomic disorder characterized by intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation, microcephaly, intellectual disability, and congenital malformations. Here, we report a 4‐month‐old female with intrauterine growth retardation, short stature, pulmonary hypertension, atrial septal defect and congenital bowing of long bones of the legs. Chromosomal microarray analysis showed a de novo deletion of approximately 2.1 Mb at 15q26.3 region that does not include IGF1R. Our analysis of patients documented in the literature and the DECIPHER database with 15q26 deletions distal to IGF1R, including 10 patients with de novo pure deletions, allowed us to define the smallest region of overlap to 686 kb. This region includes ALDH1A3, LRRK1, CHSY1, SELENOS, SNRPA1, and PCSK6. We propose haploinsufficiency of one or more genes, besides IGF1R, within this region may contribute to the clinical findings in patients with 15q26.3 deletion.
