We describe a 6 1/2-year-old girl with an interstitial deletion of chromosome arm 18q (18q21.1q22.3). Her clinical manifestations are a combination of those found in monosomy 18q syndrome and those of Rett syndrome. Cytogenetic analysis demonstrated a deletion of the long arm of chromosome 18, defin

β¦ Synopsis
W e report on a girl with a de novo 6ql interstitial deletion. To our knowledge, this is the second reported case with a deletion of 6q11-15. W e review the phenotype of monosomy 6ql. Our patient has manifestations similar to others with monosomy 6ql including mental deficiency, growth retardation, short neck, and minor facial anomalies.

We report on an 8-year-old boy with a proximal interstitial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 6 with breakpoints q13 to q14.2. He has a characteristic facial appearance that is seen in several of the previously described cases. Details of his clinical course are reviewed and compared with the n
The likelihood of a paternally expressing imprinted gene in chromosome region 6(q23-24) has been highlighted by cases of transient neonatal diabetes mellitus (TNDM) in which paternal uniparental disomy (UPD) for chromosome 6 or paternal duplication 6(q23-qter) was detected. We present the case of a
We describe an Israeli Jewish child of Yemenite origin who may be affected with ''cerebro-osteo-nephrosis.'' She is short of stature (height below 3rd centile) due to skeletal abnormalities. She has minor anomalies and borderline intelligence. There is marked proteinuria and she is in kidney failure
A 7-year-old boy had partial lipohypoplasia and patchy dermal hypoplasia involving large areas of his body. These areas of deficient growth were similar to those described in many cases of Proteus syndrome. Paradoxically, however, he had only few and rather mild lesions of disproportionate overgrowt
