A ring chromosome 7 was found in an 8-year-old boy investigated on account of short stature and facial dysmorphism. He had a fair skin, almost white hair, cafe-au lait spots and many black atypical pigmented naevi. Electron microscopy of his skin revealed structural changes in melanocytes and keratinocytes, suggesting disturbed cell growth and differentiation.
