Short reportshowever, is the apparent sparsity of clinical similarities among cases sharing relatively large portions of 2q monosomy, such as our present case and that of Narahara et al,2 which overlaps with our patient in being monosomic for 2(q33q35), and that of Warter et al,3 which overlaps with our patient in being monosomic for 2(q34q36). The case described by Narahara et al2was unique in having strabismus; the case of Warter et al3 is set apart in having a small nose, macrostomia, and abnormal dentition; while the present case is distinctive in having antimongoloid slanted palpebral fissures, micrognathia, scoliosis, ulnarly deviated extremities, and recurrent aspiration pneumonia. The clinical heterogeneity of these patients does not at present permit us to delineate interstitial 2q deletion syndrome in the absence of additional patients. The case reported here is the only one of which we are aware showing a deletion involving the region 2(q33q36).
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.
