From a spina bifida clinic we have identified two patients with a syndrome of myelomeningocele and Waardenburg syndrome type 3 (WS3). The patients each possess a single, de novo, interstitial deletion of chromosome 2 (2q35-36.2), including the PAX3 gene. Deletion of PAX3 was confirmed by fluorescenc
