Abstract

Genetic analysis in a boy aged 8 years 10 months with severe delay in expressive language and orofacial dyspraxia uncovered reciprocal duplications of the Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS) locus at chromosome 7q11.23, in a report from the University of Alberta, and other centers in Canada, USA, and Spain.
