We report on a 13-year-old boy who had an interstitial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 6[46,XY,del(6)(pter+q13::q15+qter)]. A characteristic facial appearance with facial asymmetry, vertebral anomalies, vdgus heels with flat feet, and congenital heart defect seem to form part of a specific de

โฆ Synopsis
A male infant with multiple congenital anomalies was found to have a deletion of 7q [46,XY,del(7)(pter+ql1.2:: q22-3qter)l. The father had a balanced rearrangement involving chromosomes 7 and 9, interpreted as 46,XY,dir ins(9;7) (9pter+ 9p12::7q22+ 7q11.2:: 9p12-3 9qteq7pter-3 7q11.2 :: 7q22-3 7qter). C-banding showed that the rearrangement occurred as a new event in the paternal grandfather's germ-line.
Including the present patient, 16 cases of proximal 7q deletion (qll+q21/q22) have been described to date. This is a sufficient number of cases to permit comparison of manifestations to attempt delineation of karyotype-phenotype relationships in different proximal interstitial deletions of 7q.
