Interstitial deletion of chromosome 13 and associated congenital anomalies

An interstitial deletion of chromosome 13 with breakpoints at 13q22 and 13q32 is presented. The clinical findings associated with this deletion are discussed in relation to the correlations of specific chromosomal bands with constellations of congenital defects as described by Niebuhr and Ottosen (1973), Niebuhr (1977). Lewandowski and Yunis (1975), and Noel et al. (1976).
