title: Severe clinical phenotype due to an interstitial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 1: a brief review.
abstract: We report on a newborn girl with malformed ears, bilateral cleft lip and cleft palate, complex congenital heart disease, absent left thumb, and rib abnormalities. Cytogenetic analysis demonstrated a de novo interstitial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 1 [46,XX,del(1)(p21p22.3)]. Reports of interstitial deletions on the short arm of chromosome 1 are rare. However, when comparing this patient's phenotype to others with deletions of 1p, we found that the current case was much more severely affected than previously reported cases.
