Both had low birth weight at term; weight, length and head circumference less than the third centile; epicanthic fold

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
Gc-system typing by isoelectric focusing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and quantitative assays were carried out on a patient with a karyotype of 46,XY,de1(4)(q12q21.1) and on his parents with normal chromosomes. Although a father-child incompatibility within the Gc-system suggested that its loc
