12q Chromosome Deletion

What is 12q Chromosome Deletion?

Each human cell stores its genetic material (DNA) in chromosomes. All normal human cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes with the exception of sperm or egg cells that have 23 single chromosomes. All chromosomes have a long arm and a short arm, designated as q and p respectively. Chromosome 12q deletion describes a group of disorders where a segment of the long arm of chromosome 12 is missing. Different symptoms and have been reported depending on the specific region of 12q that is deleted and the genes involved. 12q deletions are very rare but the cases tend to have some features in common such as developmental delay, intellectual disability, and distinctive facial features.

Acknowledgement of 12q Chromosome Deletion has not been added yet.

The exact prevalence of 12q chromosome deletions is unknown. Overall, less than 20 cases have been reported.

Synonyms for 12q Chromosome Deletion has not been added yet.

12q chromosome deletion occurs when a region of chromosome 12 is missing. It usually occurs as de novo, meaning that the affected individuals parents do not carry this deletion but individuals can pass it on to their children as well.

Symptoms vary depending on the deleted region of the chromosome. There might be intra-uterine growth restriction before birth. Symptoms can include characteristic facial features such as cleft lip and cleft palate, small head, spot baldness, widely-spaced eyes, crossed eyes, flat nasal bridge, low-set ears, finger or toe abnormalities such as short fingers and side-way bending of the fingers (clinodactyly, cardiac and renal malformations, and developmental delay.

Diagnosis is based on clinical signs and symptoms and genetic testing.

Genetic testing such as karyotyping can confirm 12q chromosome deletion.

Treatment varies in individuals based on the specific signs and symptoms present and the particular needs of each individual.

Hello, our son is 2 and we haven't had any seizures, but honestly, I wouldn't new surprised if he ever does get them. His deletion is 12q12, and one of the genes has to do with epilepsy. However, since it is deleted, I'm not sure how that affects him. Not much help, but keep the questions coming if you have any. Blessings, Rachel.

Hi, Congratulations your achievements. Its a long and difficult road. Our facebook group is growing and while I wish none of our kids had these issues the support has been amazing. Most kids have muscle tone issues but do eventually get there so have hope. My almost 3 year old started walking at 28 months and is now running and climbing on everything. I do have to admit while its tough I really appreciate every milestone. I also have a 6 month old who appears to have some delays too so may be facing the same long road ahead. My advice is to fight for therapy as it really does help, however, know it is a though road and realise that its ok if you can't do therapy every day. Love your child and encourage every little step. If you are faced with negativity be strong and stand for what you believe in. Also feel free to email me kdega1@yahoo.com.au

Clinical Trials


Cords registry

CoRDS, or the Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford, is based at Sanford Research in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It provides researchers with a centralized, international patient registry for all rare diseases. This program allows patients and researchers to connect as easily as possible to help advance treatments and cures for rare diseases. The CoRDS team works with patient advocacy groups, individuals and researchers to help in the advancement of research in over 7,000 rare diseases. The registry is free for patients to enroll and researchers to access.

Enrolling is easy.

  1. Complete the screening form.
  2. Review the informed consent.
  3. Answer the permission and data sharing questions.

After these steps, the enrollment process is complete. All other questions are voluntary. However, these questions are important to patients and their families to create awareness as well as to researchers to study rare diseases. This is why we ask our participants to update their information annually or anytime changes to their information occur.

Researchers can contact CoRDS to determine if the registry contains participants with the rare disease they are researching. If the researcher determines there is a sufficient number of participants or data on the rare disease of interest within the registry, the researcher can apply for access. Upon approval from the CoRDS Scientific Advisory Board, CoRDS staff will reach out to participants on behalf of the researcher. It is then up to the participant to determine if they would like to join the study.

Visit sanfordresearch.org/CoRDS to enroll.
