✦ Synopsis

Cytogenetic studies of thyroid hyperplasias and adenomas have shown that besides cases with an apparently normal karyotype different groups of cytogenetic abnormalities exin Herein we describe the cytogenetic analyses o f two benign thyroid tumors with deletions of the short arm of chromosome 2. A similar case has been described previously. Besides the previously well-established subgroups, alterations of chromosome 2 may thus characterize a new cytogenetic subgroup of benign thyroid tumors.

We report on 2 girls with small de novo terminal deletions of the long arm of chromosome 2 and breakpoints within q37. Four cases with similar or more extensive deletions have been previously reported in full. Hypotonia and psychomotor retardation were the only manifestations common to all 6 cases.

We report on a 4-month-old boy with a de novo interstitial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 3 (pter-->p21.2::p12-->qter) and clinical findings typical of proximal 3p deletion together with coloboma of iris, heart defect, choanal atresia, retardation of growth and development, genital hypoplas
