Hydrops fetalis in an interstitial deletion of chromosome 10.
We report the case of a premature neonate with ascites and dysmorphic facial features at birth. The chromosomal analysis showed an interstitial deletion of chromosome 10, that is, 46, XX, del(10)(q22.3q24.1). This is the first known case of a patient with interstitial deletion of chromosome 10 with symptoms of ascites and hydrops.
