This case report provides further evidence that theSATB2gene, together withGLS,MYO1B,TMEFF2and possiblyPGAP1,is a crucial gene in 2q32q33 microdeletion syndrome.
Haploinsufficiency of one of these genes, SATB2, a DNA-binding protein that regulates gene expression, has been implicated as causative in the cleft or high palate of individuals with 2q32q33 microdeletion syndrome.
