6p23 deletion mosaicism in a woman with recurrent abortions and idiopathic hypoprolactinemia.
A woman with a history of recurrent abortions, idiopathic hypoprolactinemia, and an apparent 6p partial deletion mosaicism is described. The breakpoint in the short arm of chromosome 6 was in the p23 region. This deletion could have been caused by a fragile site in 6p23.
