title: 7q deletion syndrome (7q32 leads to 7qter).
abstract: Four independently ascertained children who presented with unusual facies and delayed mental and physical development were found to have a similar deletion of part of the long arm of chromosome 7 (46,XX or XY, del(7)(q32); 46,XX or XY,del(7)(pter leads to q32:)). Comparison of the findings of these four cases with one other case report of a similar deletion revealed similar dysmorphologic features in all five cases.
