β¦ Synopsis
The prenatal diagnosis of a 1p36 deletion is reported. The pregnancy was ascertained at 24 weeks of gestation because of the discovery of multiple malformations at ultrasound including hypotelorism, moderate cerebral ventricular dilatation and Ebstein anomaly with secondary cardiac failure. Following cytogenetic studies and counselling, the pregnancy was terminated and a fetal autopsy performed. The phenotype of this antenatallydiagnosed case is compared with the clinical features of 44 previously reported cases with an identical deletion of the short arm of chromosome 1p36.

A subtle terminal deletion of the short arm of chromosome 8 with a breakpoint in p23.1 was detected in amniocytes. Parental chromosome studies revealed a similar deletion in the father. The fetus did not have any abnormalities in a level II ultrasound. The pregnancy was continued and resulted in the
