<h4>Background</h4>The presence of deletions can complicate genetic diagnosis of autosomal recessive disease.<h4>Method</h4>The DNA of patients was analyzed in a diagnostic setting.<h4>Results</h4>We present three unrelated patients each carrying deletions that encompass the 37 kb <i>CLN8</i> gene and discuss their phenotype. Two of the cases were hemizygous for a mutant allele - their deletions unmasked a mutation in <i>CLN8</i> on the other chromosome.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Microarray analysis is ...[more]
