We report the clinical findings in 5 patients with a terminal deletion of the short arm of chromosome 8. Mild developmental delay was constantly present, in association with microcephaly in 4 of 5 patients. Facial anomalies were mild or absent. A congenital heart defect was present in 3 patients: an

โฆ Synopsis
We report on a newborn girl with malformed ears, bilateral cleft lip and cleft palate, complex congenital heart disease, absent left thumb, and rib abnormalities. Cytogenetic analysis demonstrated a de novo interstitial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 1 [46,XX,del(1)(p21p22.3)]. Reports of interstitial deletions on the short arm of chromosome 1 are rare. However, when comparing this patient's phenotype to others with deletions of 1p, we found that the current case was much more severely affected than previously reported cases. Am.
