Summary

A girl, age 26 months, with profound dwarfism, mental retardation, and minor congenital abnormalities was studied. Cytogenetic analysis revealed a ring 1 chromosome in all of the cells counted. The patient is so similar clinically to the one child previously reported with a ring 1 chromosome that the two patients may represent a clinical syndrome.
