“…The critical region compatible with the typical 1 lq terminal deletion syndrome is thought to be a subband of 11@4.1 (Fryns et al, 1986). On the other hand, there have been some cases of an interstitial deletion of llq (q13-q23), and they showed less pronounced or absent signs of the l lq terminal deletion syndrome (Taillemite et al, 1975;Sorensen et al, 1979;McPherson and Meissner, 1982;Taki et al, 1983;Bateman et aL, 1984;Klep-de Pater et al, 1985;Carnevale et al, 1987;Okamura et aL, 1988). Table 2 shows a review of the clinical features of the patients with interstitial deletion of l lq, including ours, and a comparison of those with the 1 lq terminal deletion syndrome.…”
