Chromosome 13 long arm interstitial deletion may result from maternal inverted insertion

Chromosome 13 long arm interstitial deletion may result from maternal inverted insertion.

Interstitial deletion of the distal long arm of chromosome 4.

We report the first case of an interstitial deletion of the distal long arm of chromosome 4 (q31.22----q34.2). The major clinical features are described and compared to those of other published reports of del 4q, mainly those sharing a common deleted segment with the present case (both interstitial and terminal). This comparison suggests that the characteristic phenotype attributed to terminal ...

De novo interstitial deletion in the long arm of chromosome 9: a new chromosome syndrome.

An infant with an interstitial deletion 46,XY, del(9)(pter leads to q22::q32 leads to qter) is described. Clinical features included abnormal craniofacies with hypotelorism, narrow palpebral fissures, sclerocornea, deep vertical groove, and supraorbital ridge hypoplasia. There was unilateral preaxial polydactyly and toe syndactyly. Generalised hirsutism was noted. The infant had surgery for duo...

Interstitial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 4.

A 17 year old girl investigated for mental retardation and minor anomalies was found to have an interstitial deletion of 4p. Her clinical and cytogenetic findings are compared with previous reported case of interstitial 4p deletion and with terminal 4p--deletions (Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome).

Interstitial deletion of chromosome 13: prognosis and adult phenotype.

A de novo interstitial deletion of chromosome 13 (46,XY,del(13)(pter----q14.3::q22.3----qter] is described in a 22 year old man with severe mental retardation, poor language development, low set ears, hypertelorism, broad nasal bridge, short hands and fingers, and a history of swallowing disorder in childhood with subsequent dyspepsia. The dysmorphic features did not become evident until later ...
