We report on a female who presents with an atrial septal defect (ASD), mild hypotelorism, a prominent nasal bridge, a long smooth philtrum, mild developmental delay and a de novo interstitial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 2p, del (2)(p16.2p21). This is the first report of a deletion in chromosome 2 involving those particular breakpoints. We propose that this may represent a new recognizable chromosomal phenotype.
