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 possible exception of unusual congenital eye findings. This apparent association of congenital eye defects with distal del(6p) was supported by comparison with patients having other deletions of chromosome 6, particularly those with ring chromosome 6.

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
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
