✦ Synopsis
We report on a 4-month-old boy with a de novo interstitial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 3 (pter-->p21.2::p12-->qter) and clinical findings typical of proximal 3p deletion together with coloboma of iris, heart defect, choanal atresia, retardation of growth and development, genital hypoplasia, and ear anomalies. Family history was unremarkable and parental chromosomes were normal. The clinical manifestations of the patient are compared with those of 10 patients previously described with a proximal 3p deletion. The additional CHARGE-like phenotype is discussed.

## Abstract Interstitial deletions of the long arm of chromosome 3 are uncommon. Most cases are related to the blepharophimosis–ptosis–epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES), which is mapped to 3q23. We report on a case with a de novo chromosomal deletion of 3q23 and 3q25. We review the literature on
We report on a newborn girl with malformed ears, bilateral cleft lip and cleft palate, complex congenital heart disease, absent left thumb, and rib abnormalities. Cytogenetic analysis demonstrated a de novo interstitial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 1 [46,XX,del(1)(p21p22.3)]. Reports of i
