## Abstract Partial duplication of chromosome 3q is a well‐described condition of multiple congenital anomalies and developmental delay that resembles the Brachmann‐de Lange syndrome. Similarly, an emerging phenotype of a distal 5q deletion syndrome has recently been described. The combination of b

✦ Synopsis
We describe the phenotypes of two male sibs with partial monosomy of chromosome 5 [46,XY,der(5)inv ins(1;5)(p32;q35.4q34)]; maternally derived from a balanced insertion of 1 and 5 [inv ins (1;5)(p.32;q35.4q34)]. One sib had microcephaly, cleft lip and palate, facial anomalies, atrial (ASD) and ventricular (VSD) septal defects, camptodactyly 4th and 5th ®ngers, and developmental delay. The other sib showed microcephaly, facial anomalies, ASD, hypotonia, primary optic nerve hypoplasia, and developmental delay. Only seven other patients with 5q deletions distal to 5q33 have been reported and none showed the putative breakpoints identi®ed in our two patients. All nine showed developmental delay or malformations of the CNS and facial anomalies; six of nine had defects of cardiac septation. Our two patients and one other were shown to have only one copy of the cardiac speci®c hCSX gene that de®nes in part the etiology of their ASD and VSD. The other components of their phenotypes cannot be related at present to genes identi®ed in the deleted segments.

We describe a 7 1/2-year-old girl with mildly unusual phenotype and complex heart disease including ventricular myocardial noncompaction. She was found to have a distal 5q deletion, del(5)(q35.1q35.3). Fluorescent in situ hybridization showed that this deletion included the locus for the cardiac spe
