title: Del(4)(q33----qter): another case report of a child with mild dysmorphism.
abstract: A male child is described with some growth and developmental delay and other minor dysmorphic features. Chromosome analysis showed a de novo deletion of the q33----qter terminal segment of a chromosome 4. There has been published discussion concerning the severity of phenotypic malformations in the seven cases described so far with this particular deletion. We add details of our patient to help to delineate further features of this syndrome.
