title: Chromosome 6q- and associated malformations.
abstract: A dysmorphic retarded fourteen-mont-old female with partial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 6 is presented. The breakpoint in 6q was in region 2, probably at band 5. Eight other infants with a deletion involving the long arm of chromosome 6, including five with a ring chromosome 6, have been reported. The affected individuals have in common microcephaly, micrognathia, hypotonia and psychomotor retardation, but do not appear to have a distinctive phenotype.
