dup(17)(p11.2p11.2)

The duplication 17p11.2 syndrome (Potocki-Lupski syndrome), associated with dup(17)(p11.2p11.2) is a recognized syndrome of multiple congenital anomalies and mental retardation.

It is the first predicted reciprocal microduplication syndrome described, the homologous recombination reciprocal of the Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) microdeletion (del(17)(p11.2p11.2)).
