*Array CGH test results were not available for patient 8, 9, or 10. The deletion sizes were determined mainly by MLPA by calculating the distances between probes. P3 and P10 stand for the 3rd and 10th percentile length/height for age. IUGR: Intrauterine growth restriction; PS: Pulmonary stenosis; ASD: Atrial septal defect; NI: Not investigated; +: Positive; −: Negative; WHS: Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome; EEG: Electroencephalogram; CGH: Comparative genomic hybridization; MLPA: Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification.
