N1 - Funding Information:
We are indebted to our patient for his permission to present his case to the scientific and medical community. The research was supported by a grant from the German Ministry for Education and Research (NGFNplus/ www.ngfn.de/englisch/15.htm , project number 01GS08163) and participated in the MRNET consortium ( http://www.german-mrnet.de/ ). The BAC clones from 5p13.2 were kindly provided by Joris Vermeesch, Center for Human Genetics, Leuven, Belgium.

N2 - In a male patient with developmental delay, autistic behaviour, obesity, lymphedema, hypertension, macrocephaly, and facial features of chromosome 5p duplication (trisomy 5p) a 3.7 Mb de novo tandem microduplication of 5p13.1-13.2 (rs4703415-rs261752, i.e., chr5:35.62-39.36 Mb) was identified. This observation contributes to the characterization and dissection of the 5p13 duplication syndrome. The possible role of increased NIPBL gene dosage is discussed.
