β¦ Synopsis
We report on a %generation family with an interstitial deletion of the short a r m of chromosome 5. Varied manifestations were found among the affected individuals including microcephaly, hypertonia, and micrognathia; mental retardation was common to all affected individuals. High resolution chromosome analysis was interpreted as del( 5) (pter->p14.3::~13.3->qter). Molecular comparison of the deletion in this family with individuals with other 5p deletions suggests that the clinical findings are due specifically to the chromosomal material deleted from 5p13.
