We report on a child with blepharophimosis, ptosis, and epicanthus inv
ersus (BPES), developmental delay and an interstitial deletion of band
q22 of chromosome 3. A review of chromosome 3q anomalies associated w
ith eye abnormalities, specifically blepharophimosis and ptosis, stron
gly suggests that a locus for eyelid development is present at the int
erface of bands 3q22.3 and 3q23. (C) 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
