We report on 2 patients with de novo proximal interstitial deletions of the long arm of chromosome 4: in one the deletion resulted in monosomy (4)(q21.3q23), in the other it produced monosomy (4)(q13.2q23). Review of 9 cases of deletions involving the 4q21/ 4q22 region reported previously detected a
