Abstract:
46, XY, del(8) (p21-pter) aberration was found in a 5 year old boy with moderate craniofacial dysmorphia, mental and somatic retardation. The cytogenetic and clinical features of the patient were compared to 11 cases found in the literature. Partial 8p monosomy does not produce a unique phenotypic alteration. Postnatal growth deficiency, craniofacial dysmorphia and mental retardation are the main and common characteristics of many structural autosomal aberrations. The importance of cytogenetic analysis in such cases is stressed.
