β¦ Synopsis
A female infant with presumptive deletion of the 7p2 region and an unusual translocation between a part of the short arm of chromosome 1 and a deleted chromosome 7 is described. The patient showed congenital craniosynostosis of the coronal and metopic sutures; marked turricephaly; hypotelorism; deeply cleft palate; shallow orbits with prominent bulging eyes; a depressed nasal bridge; anteverted nostrils; short hands with broad thin fingers and elongated thumbs; a mild talipes calcaneovalgus deformity of the feet; a systolic murmur due to a small VSD; and psychomotor retardation. The child died of bronchopneumonia at 10 weeks of age. The parents are chromosomally normal.

A balanced translocation was found in a normal female with a history of four abortions. On the basis of the Giemsa-banding pattern the abnormality was interpreted as to be a translocation of a part of the long arm of chromosome 13 to the short arm of chromosome some 7:t(7;13)(7qter leads to 7p22::13
We report on a 3-year-old girl who has an interstitial deletion of chromosome 8q [46,XX, de1(8)(q13.3q22.1)1. She has severe mental retardation and minor anomalies in addition to lambdoidal synostosis. This is the first report of craniosynostosis in association with this chromosomal deletion. The ma
