title: [Langer-Giedion syndrome and deletion in the long arm of chromosome 8].
abstract: Del(8) (q24.11-q24.13) were detected in 3 patients with typical Langer-Giedion syndrome (LGS) and studied by high-resolution methods. Analysis of the literature strongly suggests the chromosomal ethiology of the LGS, because in all patients examined in detail a deletion of the segment 8(q24.11-q24.13) was revealed, which is critical for the LGS. Interrelationships between the LGS and two monogenic conditions-tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome type I and multiple exostoses are discussed. The possible role of c-myc oncogene in exostoses' (including those in LGS) origin is anticipated.
