β¦ Synopsis
We report on a 5-year-old girl with a de novo interstitial duplication of chromosome 6q21-q23 and delayed development and speech with distinctive minor facial anomalies including a ''carp'' mouth. Fluorescence in situ hybridization using a chromosome 6 paint probe confirms that the extra material is of chromosome 6 origin. This further delineates the dup(6q) syndrome and the manifestations due to the specific duplicated chromosomal region involved. Am. J.

A syndrome of mental retardation and multiple congenital anomalies, including craniosynostosis and overgrowth, was observed in two related individuals from a large kindred. Both of them carried a 15q25.1-qter trisomy associated with a subtle 13qter monosomy resulting from unbalanced segregation of a
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
A de novo interstitial tandem duplication of 6p12p21.3 was observed in a 7-month-old boy with growth retardation, psychomotor delay and craniofacial, brain, limb, and genital anomalies. Fluorescent in situ hybridization using a chromosome 6 paint probe demonstrated that the extra material belonged t
Using fluorescence in situ hybridization and microsatellite analysis, we have characterized a de novo interstitial deletion on the long arm of chromosome 6 [46,XX,del(6) (q23.3q24.2)] in a developmentally normal girl with very mild phenotypic abnormalities. The deletion was paternal in origin and wa
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an inherited colon cancer syndrome caused by mutations in the APC gene on chromosome region 5q21. Patients typically present with several hundred to several thousand polyps throughout the colon. Benign and malignant extracolonic manifestations are often presen
