✦ Synopsis
We report on a 3-year-old girl who has an interstitial deletion of chromosome 8q [46,XX, de1(8)(q13.3q22.1)1. She has severe mental retardation and minor anomalies in addition to lambdoidal synostosis. This is the first report of craniosynostosis in association with this chromosomal deletion. The manifestations of our patient are compared to those of previously reported patients with similar deletions.

We report an infant with multiple congenital anomalies, including craniosynostosis, tetralogy of Fallot variant, and limb anomalies associated with a maternal deletion of 15q15-22.1.

We report on the clinical and cytogenetic findings in a 9-year-old boy with a de novo deletion of 2q, shown by molecular analysis to have arisen from the paternal chromosome. Examination of microsatellite markers indicated deletion of bands 2q24.3 and 2q31. Clinical findings included craniosynostosi
