โฆ Synopsis
We report on 2 girls with small de novo terminal deletions of the long arm of chromosome 2 and breakpoints within q37. Four cases with similar or more extensive deletions have been previously reported in full. Hypotonia and psychomotor retardation were the only manifestations common to all 6 cases. The phenotype associated with small terminal 2q deletions is variable and clearly not always as mild as indicated in previous reports. The abnormality may also be more common than has been assumed.

We report on two patients with distal deletions of 6q. In one case a de novo translocation between chromosomes 6 and 7 resulted in del(6q2546qter). The other case had a de novo deletion, also from 6q25 to 6qter. There have been eight previous reports of distal deletions of 6q. These patients have de
Since the first patient with partial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 10 was described in 1978, another 23 cases have been reported, with the breakpoint ranging from 10q23.3-26.2. To contribute further to the delineation of the monosomy 10qter syndrome, we describe a female child who, at age 3
