Interstitial del(13)(q21.3q31) associated with psychomotor retardation, eczema, and absent suck and swallowing reflex.
A patient with a deletion (13)(q21.3q31) showed only eczema and absent suck and swallowing reflex, in contrast to other well documented cases with a similar deletion. Apparently there is wide clinical variability in patients with deletions in this area.
