title: A distinct multiple congenital anomalies syndrome associated with distal 5q deletion (q35.1qter).
abstract: In this report the authors describe a multimalformed female newborn with terminal deletion of the long arm of chromosome 5 (q35.1qter). The multiple congenital anomaly syndrome consisted of a combination of oral, facial and digital anomalies. The present observation indicates that cytogenetic studies are needed in all patients presenting developmental delay and oro-facio-digital anomalies not consistent with the diagnosis of oro-facio-digital syndromes type I and type II.
