Clinical features in a de novo interstitial deletion 15q13 to q15

Abstract

A boy with several dysmorphic features and suffering from mental and motor retardation was found to have a de novo interstitial deletion of chromosome 15, involving bands q13 to q15. His clinical picture is described and compared with the clinical features reported in other deletions of this chromosome, located or extending distally from the region associated with Prader-Willi syndrome.
