Interstitial deletion of 5q33.3q35.1 in a girl with mild mental retardation

Abstract
Constitutional interstitial deletions of 5q are uncommon. The corresponding phenotype is not well defined. But severe mental retardation seems to be a consistent manifestation. We describe a 4‐year‐old girl with a de novo deletion of 5q33.3q35.1 presenting only with mild psychomotor delay, minor facial anomalies, and seizures. Am. J. Med. Genet. 93:107–109, 2000.
