Chromosome 6q deletions: a report of two additional cases and a review of the literature

Am J Med Genet. 1990 Jan;35(1):79-84. doi: 10.1002/ajmg.1320350115.

Abstract

Here we report on two additional cases of distal 6q deletions with one case showing a terminal deletion of chromosome 6 (46,XY, del(6)(pter----q26:)) and one case showing an interstitial deletion of chromosome 6 (46,XY, del(6)(pter----q23::q25----qter)). The association of retinal abnormalities in 6q deletions is supported, and the additional manifestations of skin hyperextensibility, sacral abnormality, and imperforate anus are described.
