  1. ncbi Microduplication 22q11.2: a benign polymorphism or a syndrome with a very large clinical variability and reduced penetrance?--Report of two families
    Winnie Courtens
    Center of Human Genetics UCL, Cliniques Universitaires St Luc Brussels, Brussels, Belgium
    Am J Med Genet A 146:758-63. 2008
    ..Future reports are needed to answer the question whether microduplication could be a non-pathogenic polymorphism or whether it is a real syndrome with a very large clinical variability and reduced penetrance...
  2. ncbi A de novo subtelomeric monosomy 11q (11q24.2-qter) and trisomy 20q (20q13.3-qter) in a girl with findings compatible with Jacobsen syndrome: case report and review
    Winnie Courtens
    Department of Human Genetics, University Hospital St Luc UCL, Brussels, Belgium
    Clin Dysmorphol 16:231-9. 2007
    ..We review the clinical phenotype of these patients. We suggest that patients with a subterminal (11q24.2/25-qter) deletion may present with features of the well-known phenotype of terminal 11q deletion or Jacobsen syndrome...
  3. ncbi An interstitial deletion of chromosome 7 at band q21: a case report and review
    Winnie Courtens
    Department of Medical Genetics, University Hospital Antwerp, Antwerp, Belgium
    Am J Med Genet A 134:12-23. 2005
    ..Therefore, 7q21 might be considered a candidate chromosomal region for matUPD(7) and SRS...
  4. ncbi Fibular aplasia, tibial campomelia, and oligosyndactyly in a male newborn infant: a case report and review of the literature
    Winnie Courtens
    Department of Medical Genetics, University Hospital Antwerp, Antwerp, Belgium
    Am J Med Genet A 134:321-5. 2005
    ..Therefore, we propose to name it fibular aplasia-tibial campomelia-oligosyndactyly (FATCO) syndrome. Additional case reports are needed for further delineation of this rare limb deficiency syndrome...
  5. ncbi Hypoparathyroidism-retardation-dysmorphism syndrome in a girl: A new variant not caused by a TBCE mutation--clinical report and review
    Winnie Courtens
    Department of Medical Genetics, University Hospital Antwerp, Antwerp, Belgium
    Am J Med Genet A 140:611-7. 2006
    ..We conclude that a second gene locus for this disorder seems probable and that 4q35 needs further evaluation as a candidate region...
