✦ Synopsis
A girl with partial deletion of the short arms of one chromosome 7 is described. Among many other symptoms she has craniosynostoses. Early closure of cranio-sutures has previously been described in 2 of 3 patients with partial deletion 7. Investigation of a number of genetic marker systems shows that the HL-A, MN, AcP, and GPT loci are not located in the deleted segment.
