7q11.23 duplication syndrome (also called dup7 or 7dup or duplication of the Williams-Beuren syndrome critical region) is a rare genetic syndrome caused by micro-duplication of 1.5-1.8 mega base in section q11.23 of chromosome 7.
Causes Duplication of the p22.1 region in chromosome 7 7p22.1 microduplication syndrome (also called Trisomy 7p22.1 ) is a genetic disorder which is characterized by cranial and facial dysmorphisms, intellectual disability , and motor-speech delays. [ 1 ]
Krabbe disease is caused by mutations in the GALC gene located on chromosome 14 (14q31), [7] which is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Mutations in the GALC gene cause a deficiency of an enzyme called galactosylceramidase. [8] In rare cases, it may be caused by a lack of active saposin A (a derivative of prosaposin). [1]
