Abstract
We present a case with a 4p terminal deletion, evidenced in GTG-banded chromosome preparations. On clinical examination a large number of phenotypic signs described in the classical Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome were found. We discuss recent data related to phenotype-genotype correlations and summarize the latest results regarding the molecular pathology of the syndrome.
Key Words: 4p deletion, Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, classic phenotype
