BCNS is mainly caused by mutations in <jats:italic>PTCH1<\/jats:italic>, an onco\u2010suppressor gene that maps at 9q22.3 region. A disease related to BCNS is the 9q22.3 microdeletion syndrome. This condition has an overlapping clinical phenotype with the BCNS, but it can present in addition: metopic craniosynostosis, overgrowth, obstructive hydrocephalus, developmental delay, intellectual disability, and seizures. This syndrome is caused by the deletion of a genomic region containing the <jats:italic>PTCH1<\/jats:italic> and the <jats:italic>FANCC<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods and Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We report the case of an 11\u2010year\u2010old girl that came to our attention for overgrowth, dysmorphic features of the face, and craniosynostosis, but with a normal intellectual and motor development. At first we performed an array\u2010comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis. The analysis showed no copy number changes. Then, we performed the analysis of the <jats:italic>PTCH1<\/jats:italic> by next\u2010generation sequencing.
