✦ Synopsis

We present clinical outcome, through several years of follow-up, of 4 mentally retarded patients, each with a small interstitial deletion in the long arm of chromosome 2, within a region on which clinical reports are infrequent. Our patient 1 was found to have del(2)(q22.3q23.3); patients 2 and 3, del(2)(q23.3q24.2); and patient 4, del(2) (q24.2q31). By comparison of our cases with each other and with those previously published with comparable interstitial deletion, we attempted to identify characteristic clinical findings. Short neck with excessive cervical skin was seen with monosomy of chromosome 2 bands q22.3-q23.3, while hypertrichosis and a peculiar high pitched cry were seen with monosomy of chromosome 2 bands q23.3-q24.2. As suggested by Moller et al. [1984: Hum Genet 68:77-86], a cleft between the first and second toes was seen with monosomy of chromosome 2 bands q24.2-q31. In addition, seizure disorder was present in patients 1 and 4 (with the more proximal and distal deletions, respectively).

The Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS) is a well-defined entity characterized by growth and mental retardation, broad thumbs and halluces, and typical face. The RTS locus was assigned to 16p13.3, and interstitial submicroscopic deletions of this region (RT1 cosmid, D16S237) were initially identified in

Cytogenetic studies have shown that 40-60% of patients with Ullrich-Turner syndrome (UTS) are 45,X, whereas the rest have structural aberrations of the X chromosome or mosaicism with a second cell line containing a structurally normal or abnormal X or Y chromosome. However, molecular analysis has de
