## Abstract We describe a 3βyearβold male with deletion of part of 6q. The karyotype was 46,XY,del(6q) in both lymphocytes and skin fibroblasts. The patient had: frontal bossing, epicanthal folds, broad nasal bridge, apparently lowβset and posteriorly angulated ears, micrognathia, cardiac defects,
Interstitial deletions of the long arm of chromosome 4 are rare. Different breakpoints are involved. Only one of the patients had a very similar deletion to that of the present case. Both had low birth weight at term; weight, length and head circumference less than the third centile; epicanthic fold
We report on a boy with proximal interstitial deletion of chromosome 4, del(4)(q21. 22q23). The patient was born at term with a low birth weight, flat nasal bridge, micrognathia, wide-spaced nipples, clinodactyly of fifth fingers, overlapping fingers, postaxial polydactyly of the right foot, micrope
