We describe the clinical manifestations and molecular cytogenetic analyses of three patients with a similar distal deletion of chromosome 8. Each child had mild developmental delay and subtle minor anomalies. Two had cardiac anomalies but no other major congenital anomalies were present. High resolu
## Abstract Chromosome duplications involving 1p are rarely reported but are apparently associated with short survival as well as congenital malformations and impaired development. Several of these have had congenital heart defects, although too few patients have been reported with similar breakpoi
Previous studies have shown that patients with deletion of distal human chromosome arm 8p may have congenital heart disease and other physical anomalies. The gene encoding GATA-4, a zinc finger transcription factor implicated in cardiac gene expression and development, localizes to chromosome region
