We describe a 4 month old male with a de novo interstitial
deletion of chromosome 10q22. His clinical features included growth deficiency, developmental delay, ocular hypertelorism, posteriorly rotated ears, retrognathia, and fifth finger clinodactyly. He later
developed dental lamina cysts of the alveolar ridge. To our
knowledge, this is the first reported case of an interstitial deletion of 10q22.
