title: Interstitial deletion of 13q22-->q31: case report and review of the literature.
abstract: In the present study we describe a patient with characteristic brachydactily, developmental delay and interstitial del 13q22-->q31. After the review of the literature, few cases sharing similar chromosomal deletions were found and they displayed little resemblance with our patient. We discuss the phenotype correlation among the deleted regions in such cases.
