Abstract

A girl with a high and microbrachycephalic cranium (but without craniosynostosis), antimongoloid palpebral fissures, external strabismus, microsomy, a peculiarly shaped nose, soft tissue syndactyly in the right hand and both feet, and psychomotor retardation was found to have a deletion of chromosome 2 (q35----qter) and a Robertsonian translocation 13;14 inherited from her healthy father. The girl's phenotype is compared with the only other case reported involving a similar deletion.
