โฆ Synopsis
A polymalformed newborn with partial monosomy for the long arm of chromosome 16 is presented. Karyotype 46,XX,del(16)(q21).
Numerical abnormalities of chromosome 16 have never been reported in liveborn infants, and only one case of partial trisomy for the long arm of chromosome 16 in a polymalformed newborn male child (karyotype 47,XY,+16q) has been published (Schmickel et al., 1975).
This report describes the first case of partial monosomy of the long arm of chromosome 16 in a live-born child. Karyotype: 46,XX,del(16)(q21).

We describe a malformed newborn girl with an interstitial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 2 (karyotype: 46, XX, del (2) (q31q33)). This is the first report of this particular chromosome abnormality that includes autopsy findings. Comparison with previous cases in the literature suggests that
A 7-month-old male child with a de novo, seemingly balanced reciprocal 5p/16q translocation and karyotype 46,XY,t(5;16) (p14;q21), resulting from a maternal meiotic error, is described. The clinical findings in this patient are strikingly similar to those in the only patient with partial deletion 16
