Dental abnormalities associated with a chromosome 2 deletion

This case report describes the dental and physical anomalies observed in a young female patient who had a chromosome abnormality involving deletion of the q 33-q 35 region of chromosome 2. The dental dysplasia observed in this patient is proposed to be of genetic origin but the complication of anoxia at birth makes it difficult to assign the intellectual and physical impairments solely to the genetic deletion.
