A del(11) (q24.2) was ascertained in a 2-year-old child and subsequently in her 20-year-old mother. Both mother and daughter had developmental delay, short stature, and "coarse" facial appearance. We compare our patients' manifestations to those associated with the distal 11q2 deletion phenotype ("Jacobsen" syndrome), and to the one other reported case of del(11)(q24.2). Our patients did not resemble this latter case, but had some findings in common with Jacobsen syndrome. We present our findings in order to contribute to the information on 11q2 deletions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
