Interstitial deletions of the long arm of chromosome 4 are rare. Different breakpoints are involved. Only one of the patients had a very similar deletion to that of the present case. Both had low birth weight at term; weight, length and head circumference less than the third centile; epicanthic folds; apparently low-set abnormal ears; broad nasal bridge; micrognathia; hypoplastic nails; delayed psychomotor development; and mild mental retardation.
4号染色体长臂的间质性缺失很罕见。涉及不同的断点。只有一名患者的缺失与本病例非常相似。两人足月出生时体重均较低;体重、身长和头围低于第三百分位;内眦赘皮;明显低位的异常耳朵;鼻梁宽;小颌畸形;指甲发育不全;精神运动发育迟缓;以及轻度智力障碍。
