Chromosome 11 long arm partial deletion: a new syndrome

E Engel et al. Am J Ment Defic. 1976 Jan.

Abstract

Deletion of the distal end of the long arm of a chromosome 11 (11q-) was demonstrated by G-bands in a malformed 4.3-year-old girl. Comparison of her phenotype with those of the four previously reported cases of 11q-, three with a proven and one a presumed similar deletion, suggests that this defect results in a clinical picture most noticeable for the association of variable mental retardation, marked speech deficit, trigonocephaly, and pronounced growth failure.
