We report on a girl with a large interstitial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 21 and with mild mental retardation, congenital hypothyroidism, and hyperopia. The deletion [de1(21)(q11.1-q22.1)1 extends molecularly from marker D21S215 to D21S213. The distal breakpoint is not clearly defined but
