DELETION OF THE SHORT ARM, OF CHROMOSOME-10 (10P13) - REPORT OF A PATIENT AND REVIEW

Since the first description by Elliot et al. [1970, Am J Dis Child 119 :72-73] of a probable partial deletion of chromosome 10p, 17 other cas es have been reported. The phenotypic expression is variable, but the craniofacial malformations constitute a more consistent finding. The 1 0p deletion syndrome has been associated with the DiGeorge anomaly in several patients. We report on an additional ease of 10p deletion synd rome and review the literature.
