β¦ Synopsis
Based on analysis of 15 cases, there appears to be a characteristic facial appearance and pattern of associated malformations that would allow clinical delineation of deletion of the distal bands of lq. Characteristic manifestations include round face with prominent "cupid's bow" and downturned corners of the mouth, thin vermilion borders of lips, long upper lip with smooth philtrum, short and broad nose, epicanthal folds, apparently low-set ears, micrognathia, microcephaly, abnormal hands and feet, variable cardiac, genital, and other anomalies, moderate to severe mental retardation, and growth retardation. The deletion includes lq42 or lq43'qter and was a de novo defect in nine of 15 cases.

## Abstract We report on a patient with deficiency of distal 6p and compare the clinical and cytogenetic findings in this child with those of three previously reported patients who had similar deletions. Distal del(6p) appears to be associated with a relatively nonβspecific phenotype, with the poss
We report on two patients with distal deletions of 6q. In one case a de novo translocation between chromosomes 6 and 7 resulted in del(6q2546qter). The other case had a de novo deletion, also from 6q25 to 6qter. There have been eight previous reports of distal deletions of 6q. These patients have de
