Ectro‐amelia syndrome associated with an interstitial deletion of 7q

Abstract
We describe a premature male infant with an interstitial deletion of 7q [46, XY, del(7) (pter→ q21.3::q31.3→qter]. Manifestations include absence of lower limbs, unilateral ectrodactyly, facial anomalies, gingival hyperplasia, feeding problems, and atrial septal defect. Chromosome 7 deletions of the q21.3→q31.3 region are reviewed with emphasis on limb anomalies.
