## Abstract We report on 2 patients with __de novo__ terminal deletion of 6q. The first was a 4โmonthโold boy whose karyotype was 46, XY, del(6)(q24.3); the second a 2โyearโold girl whose karyotype was 46, XX, del(6)(q25.3). The main anomalies in both patients included mental retardation, minor cra

โฆ Synopsis
Abstract
Here we report on a girl with minor facial anomalies, cleft palate, seizures, microcephaly, psychomotor retardation, and a congenital heart defect. Complex of cytogenetic methods [GTGโbanding, spectral karyotyping (SKY), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), multicolor banding (mBAND), and comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH)] showed complex chromosomal rearrangements (CCRs) involving chromosomes 6, 10, and 11 and 4 deletions at the breakpoints. Her father had an unrelated translocation between chromosomes 3 and 16, suggesting the possibility of an autosomal dominant trait that predisposes to complex synapses and recombination between multiple chromosomes during meiosis. This study demonstrates the power of combining available chromosome analysis technologies in resolving CCR. ยฉ 2010 WileyโLiss, Inc.
