## 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

Deletions in the short arm of chromosome 3 have long been known to be common in many tumor types, including carcinomas of the lung and kidney. Small interstitial deletions of the proximal-central region of 3p, with band 3p14 as a minimal common deleted segment, have recently been shown to occur in a
We report the clinical findings in 5 patients with a terminal deletion of the short arm of chromosome 8. Mild developmental delay was constantly present, in association with microcephaly in 4 of 5 patients. Facial anomalies were mild or absent. A congenital heart defect was present in 3 patients: an
