BP: breakpoint; IVS2: intron 2 ; colpocephaly: enlargement of the occipital horns of the ventricular system owing to an underdevelopment of the white matter in the posterior cerebrum17; Ast: aortic stenosis; ASD: atrial septal defect; PDA: persistent ductus arteriosus; VSD: ventricular septal defect; PFO: persistent foramen ovale; PS: pulmonary stenosis; SS: short segment HSCR; LS: long segment HSCR; VUR: vesicoureteric reflux. In deletion patients age of onset of seizures is given.
