## Abstract We report on molecular studies in 7 patients with WolfβHirschhorn syndrome (WHC) not showing an obvious chromosome 4p deletion. Analysis of a set of polymorphic probes mapping in the 4p16.3 region showed the absence of paternal haplotypes in 5 cases, and maternal haplotypes in 2. These

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND WolfβHirschhorn syndrome (WHS) is a wellβknown genetic condition characterized by typical facial anomalies, midline defects, skeletal anomalies, prenatal and postnatal growth retardation, hypotonia, mental retardation, and seizures. Affected patients with a microdeletion
A new case of ring chromosome 4 in a 2-day-old female child with multiple malformations is described. By means of the GTG-banding technique, a karyotype 46,XX,r(4), (p16 leads to q35) was determined. The characteristics of the child's karyotype and the relationship with the structure of the chromoso
