title: Deletions in chromosome 2 and fragile sites.
abstract: We report on 2 patients with de novo deletions of 2q and chromosome constitutions of 46,XY,del(2)(q32.3q33.3) and 46,XX,del(2) (q21q23.2), respectively. Comparisons of breakpoints of interstitial deletions show frequent correspondence to common fragile sites.
