Until now, few families have been described with limited clinical description. We report transmission of deletion 18p from a mother to his son. The proband is 8 years old and has short stature, dysmorphic features, polymorphous dyslalia and moderate menta...

متن کاملA de novo Deletion of Chromosome 18p With Persistent Limb Tremor and Difficulty Speaking: A Case Report
The common causes of 18p deletion syndrome are spontaneous errors in the chromosomal structure in the early stages of human embryonic development. In this study, a 29-year-old girl was introduced with the features of deletion of chromosome 18. In addition, GTG banding karyotype revealed that this case had a deletion involving the short arm of chromosome 18. In comparison with the usual phenotyp...
متن کاملFamilial hypercholesterolemia: a case report

متن کاملA rare case of de novo mosaicism: Deletion 18p and isochromosome 18q syndrome.
Monosomy 18p syndrome is a rare chromosomal disorder with varying phenotypic and clinical manifestations. Dysmorphism, growth delay, delayed speech and mental retardation are a few of the commonest features observed. The cytogenetic findings also vary and may comprise a pure deletion of the entire 18p arm or a deletion of a part of the 18p arm, if involved in a translocation with other chromoso...
