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. Only two other patients have been reported with a similar deletion, but the deletion was paternal in both cases. We r

✦ Synopsis
W e describe an infant with a deletion of 8q21+22 who had distinct clinical manifestations including minor facial anomalies, a congenital heart defect, a Dandy-Walker variant, and mild to moderate developmental delay. Her facial characteristics included small, wide-spaced eyes, asymmetric bilateral epicanthal folds, a broad nasal bridge, a "carp-shaped" mouth, micrognathia, and prominent, apparently low-set ears. Three other reports describe children with larger proximal deletions of 8q that include 8q21 and q22. These four children all have similar facial appearance. Of the others reported, one had a congenital heart defect and one had craniosynostosis. This case, in addition to the previously noted three cases, helps in delineating a recognizable syndrome.
