This deletion affects genes important for growth and development, causing physical and neurological symptoms. Most cases are due to de novo mutations, but in rare cases, the condition runs in families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Symptoms\"><\/span>2.
