8q12 microduplication syndrome
Prevalence
Prevalence estimates on Rare Medical Network websites are calculated based on data available from numerous sources, including US and European government statistics, the NIH, Orphanet, and published epidemiologic studies. Rare disease population data is recognized to be highly variable, and based on a wide variety of source data and methodologies, so the prevalence data on this site should be assumed to be estimated and cannot be considered to be absolutely correct.

Inheritance
Autosomal dominant A pathogenic variant in only one gene copy in each cell is sufficient to cause an autosomal dominant disease.
Autosomal recessive Pathogenic variants in both copies of each gene of the chromosome are needed to cause an autosomal recessive disease and observe the mutant phenotype.
X-linked
dominant X-linked dominant inheritance, sometimes referred to as X-linked dominance, is a mode of genetic inheritance by which a dominant gene is carried on the X chromosome.
dominant X-linked dominant inheritance, sometimes referred to as X-linked dominance, is a mode of genetic inheritance by which a dominant gene is carried on the X chromosome.
X-linked
recessive Pathogenic variants in both copies of a gene on the X chromosome cause an X-linked recessive disorder.
recessive Pathogenic variants in both copies of a gene on the X chromosome cause an X-linked recessive disorder.
Mitochondrial or multigenic Mitochondrial genetic disorders can be caused by changes (mutations) in either the mitochondrial DNA or nuclear DNA that lead to dysfunction of the mitochondria and inadequate production of energy.
Multigenic or multifactor Inheritance involving many factors, of which at least one is genetic but none is of overwhelming importance, as in the causation of a disease by multiple genetic and environmental factors.

Summary
The following summary is from Orphanet, a European reference portal for information on rare diseases and orphan drugs.
Orpha Number: 228399
Definition
The newly described 8q12 microduplication syndrome is associated with unusual and characteristic multiorgan clinical features, which include hearing loss , congenital heart defects , intellectual disability , hypotonia in infancy, and Duane anomaly (see this term).
Epidemiology
It has been described in two patients.
The mild facial dysmorphism is characterized by high, arched eyebrows and unilateral narrowing of the palpebral fissure and retraction of the globe caused by Duane anomaly (Duane anomaly is a form of complex strabismus characterized by limited ocular abduction and variably limited adduction accompanied by retraction of the globe, which narrows the palpebral fissure).
This microduplication was identified by microarray -based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH). The lack of recurrent breakpoints in these two cases and the absence of any low-copy repeats (LCR) pairs that flank these de novo events do not support non-allelic homologous recombination as the mutation mechanism. The 8q12 region includes CHD7 and it is proposed that this gene , associated with CHARGE syndrome by haploinsufficiency, causes a different phenotype by gain-of-dosage.

Symptoms
This table lists symptoms that people with this disease may have. For most diseases, symptoms will vary from person to person. People with the same disease may not have all the symptoms listed. This information comes from a database called the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) . The HPO collects information on symptoms that have been described in medical resources. The HPO is updated regularly. Use the HPO ID to access more in-depth information about a symptom.
