The number of patients heterozygous for terminal deletion of the short arm of chromosome 8 (del8p) has increased progressively in parallel with the improved ability of cytogenetic techniques to recognize small imbalances. A del(8p) syndrome has been outlined. We reported a consistent association wit

We describe a child with lethal multiple malformations and generalised accumulation of desmosterol. The infant had macrocephaly, a hypoplastic nasal bridge, thick alveolar ridges, gingival nodules, cleft palate, total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage, ambiguous genitalia, short limbs, and general
Chromosome analysis was performed in a 34-year-old man who was phenotypically normal except for oligoasthenozoospermia. In this patient, analysis of GTG-banded chromosomes showed in one chromosome 8 additional chromosomal material of unknown origin. To characterize the aberrant chromosome more preci
We report the clinical findings in 5 patients with a terminal deletion of the short arm of chromosome 8. Mild developmental delay was constantly present, in association with microcephaly in 4 of 5 patients. Facial anomalies were mild or absent. A congenital heart defect was present in 3 patients: an
We report on the second case of duplication (4)(q12q13) with microcephaly, mental retardation, and minor facial anomalies. Duplications involving the distal region of chromosome 4q are well described and share common clinical findings. However, phenotypic abnormalities of duplications of the proxima
D u p l i c a t i o n s o f c h r o m o s o m e r e g i o n 15q11q13 often occur as a supernumerary chromosome 15. Less frequently they occur as interstitial duplications [dup(15)]. We describe the clinical and molecular characteristics of three patients with de novo dup(15). The patients, two males
