title: An 11.4-Mb Interstitial Deletion in a Fetus with No Apparent Phenotypic Alterations.
abstract: A prenatal case of a de novo interstitial deletion distal to 8q24 was reported. Ultrasound examination and postmortem evaluation demonstrated no apparent phenotypic alterations. Array CGH showed an 11.4-Mb loss in chromosome 8 ranging from 8q24.13 to 8q24.23. This case partially overlaps the 2 cases previously described in the literature.
