3. Cause
1p36 deletion syndrome due to partial loss of genetic material at position p36 on the short arm of chromosome 1.

About 20 percent of people with a 1p36 deletion receive a partial loss from a parent who does not have the disease. In this case, the parent carries a balanced chromosomal translocation that causes no changes in the genetic material such as gain or loss.
Balanced translocation does not usually cause health problems however it can become unbalanced when passed on to the next generation. The offspring of these people will have an excess or a deficiency
Persons with 1p36 deletion syndrome who receive an unbalanced translocation will have a lack of genetic material on the short arm of chromosome 1 leading to postpartum effects and health problems characteristic of this syndrome.

5. Diagnosis and treatment
1p36 deletion can be diagnosed by molecular biology and cytogenetic techniques. Currently, there is no cure for 1p36 deletion syndrome. Treatments that can only help with symptoms include education, rehabilitation programs, anti-seizure medications, and treatment for heart, kidney, eye, hearing, or bone problems.
