✦ Synopsis

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 nine previous reported cases of the proximal deletion 6q syndrome. Am.

22q11 deletion syndrome (22qDS) is due to microdeletions of chromosome region 22q11.2. Little is known about the phenotype of adults. We reviewed available case reports of adults (age ≥18 years) with 22qDS and compared the prevalence of key findings to those reported in a large European survey of 22
