We report on a boy with proximal interstitial deletion of chromosome 4, del(4)(q21. 22q23). The patient was born at term with a low birth weight, flat nasal bridge, micrognathia, wide-spaced nipples, clinodactyly of fifth fingers, overlapping fingers, postaxial polydactyly of the right foot, micrope

✦ Synopsis
Interstitial deletions of the long arm of chromosome 4 are rare. Different breakpoints are involved. Only one of the patients had a very similar deletion to that of the present case. Both had low birth weight at term; weight, length and head circumference less than the third centile; epicanthic folds; apparently low-set abnormal ears; broad nasal bridge; micrognathia; hypoplastic nails; delayed psychomotor development; and mild mental retardation.
