Interstitial deletions of the long arm of chromosome 5 involving the region 5q33.1-q34 are rare occurrences. The clinical features of patients carrying similar deletions include dysmorphic facial features, such as epicanthus, retrognatia, protruding left ear and asymmetric mouth, high-arched palate, four inger lines and clinodactyly of digits II and V on both hands. We report on a female child aged 13 presentin...

Mental retardation (MR) is a major social, educational, and health problem affecting 3% of the population. Subtelomeric chromosome aberrations are one of the major causes of MR with or without multiple anomalies; previous studies have shown that these rearrangements are responsible for 3-6% of unexplained mental retardation. Between 2000-2010 in the Cytogenetics Unit, Centro de Genética Médica Jacinto de Magal...
Chromosome 1p36 deletion syndrome (MIM #607872) was first described in 1997 by Shapira et al. This condition is compatible with a monosomy of the 1p36 band in the distal region of the short arm of chromosome 1 and is the most common terminal deletion in humans, with an estimated prevalence of approximately 1 in 5,000 live births. This constitutional deletion is associated with mental retardation, developmental...
