Abstract
We describe a patient with multiple congenital anomalies including tracheobronchomalacia, CTβproven metopic craniosynostosis, glandular hypospadias and severe ventral chordee, torticollis, esotropia, strabismus, fifth finger clinodactyly, hallux valgus, and global developmental delay. Using high resolution chromosomal microarray analysis, we identified a de novo deletion of 555βkb on chromosome 16p13.3, 444βkb telomeric to the CREBBP gene and 623βkb centromeric of PKD1. Review of the literature revealed numerous reports of individuals with deletions involving adjacent regions including CREBBP, but only one overlapping with this isolated region of 16p13.3. Haploinsufficiency for one or more of the 25 candidate genes in the deleted genomic region may be responsible for these clinical features. No copy number variants (CNVs) span the entire region, but several small CNVs within the 555βkb genomic region reduce the likelihood for effects due to haploinsufficiency to 18 genes.

Interstitial deletions are relatively rare chromosomal anomalies that usually arise de novo. The data describing the phenotype associated with interstitial deletions of 5q are very limited. We describe the first case of multiple fetal anomalies, diagnosed on prenatal sonographic examination, associa
