Deletion of proximal 6q: A clinical report and review of the literature

Abstract
We report on a 13‐year‐old boy who had an interstitial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 6[46,XY,del(6)(pter→ql3::ql5→qter)]. A characteristic facial appearance with facial asymmetry, vertebral anomalies, valgus heels with flat feet, and congenital heart defect seem to form part of a specific del 6q syndrome.
