Abstract
Terminal deletions of long arm of chromosome 13 are rare and poorly characterized by cytogenetic studies, making for difficult genotype-phenotype correlations. We report two siblings presenting generalized epilepsy, intellectual disability, and genitourinary tract defects. Array CGH detected a 1.3 Mb deletion at 13q34; it contains two protein-coding genes, SOX1 and ARHGEF7, whose haploinsufficiency can contribute to the epileptic phenotype.
