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

✦ Synopsis
We report on a terminal deletion of the long arm of chromosome 3 [46,XX,de1(3)(q27+qter)l in a female newborn infant who died 45 hours after delivery and had multiple congenital abnormalities including bilateral anophthalmia, congenital heart disease, and abnormal genitalia. The findings are compared to those of four previously reported cases with terminal del(3q).

We read with interest the paper by Leana-Cox et al. [1996] which reported on 5 families with recurrent Di-George/velocardiofacial syndrome and deletions of chromosome 22q11 (del22q11), and which reviewed the pertinent literature. The authors observed that up to 25% of del22q11 are inherited. Particu
We report on a boy with proximal interstitial deletion of chromosome 4, del(4)(q21. 22q23). The patient was born at term with a low birth weight, flat nasal bridge, micrognathia, wide-spaced nipples, clinodactyly of fifth fingers, overlapping fingers, postaxial polydactyly of the right foot, micrope
A newborn boy with complex congenital heart disease, unilateral renal agenesis, and hypocalcemia was found to have a submicroscopic deletion of 22q11.2 (DiGeorge anomaly). In evaluating the pathogenesis of the hypocalcemia, repeatedly elevated or normal levels of parathyroid hormone were found, cons
We report on a 5-year-old girl with a de novo interstitial duplication of chromosome 6q21-q23 and delayed development and speech with distinctive minor facial anomalies including a ''carp'' mouth. Fluorescence in situ hybridization using a chromosome 6 paint probe confirms that the extra material is
