Chromosome imbalance affecting the short arm of chromosome 4 results in a variety of distinct clinical conditions. Most of them share a number of manifestations, such as mental retardation, microcephaly, pre-and post-natal growth retardation, anteverted and low-set ears, that can be considered as no
