title: Deletion of the long arm of chromosome 4 [46,XX,del(4)(q31)] in a patient with congenital anomalies.
abstract: A girl with congenital malformations and del 4(q31), identified by QFQ- and RFA- techniques, is described. The clinical findings are compared with the four cases of 4q- of the literature. Evident variability of the clinical features and the small number of cases of 4q- does not allow the delineation of a clinical syndrome.
