title: Interstitial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 11 determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization.
abstract: An interstitial deletion, del(11)(q14q22), found in a female infant was examined by fluorescence in situ hybridization with cosmid DNA markers mapped on the long arm of chromosome 11. Three cosmids mapped on 11q14.1-11q22.1 region were not hybridized to the del(11) chromosome, while all the other DNA markers mapped on 11cen-11q14.1 and 11q23.1-11qter region gave hybridization signals on the del(11) chromosome. Cytogenetic analysis after R-banding confirmed an apparent deletion of 11q14-q22, but containing a small R-negative band, a part of 11q22.3 and/or 11q14.1, in the middle part of del(11) chromosome. The karyotype thus was determined to be 46,XX,del(11)(q14.1q22.3).
