Partial deletions of the long arm of chromosome 13 associated with holoprosencephaly and the Dandy‐Walker malformation

Abstract excerpt

Two patients with partial deletions of the long arm of chromosome 13, del(13)(13q21-q34) and del(13)(13q22-q33), respectively, multiple congenital anomalies including holoprosencephaly (HPE) and the Dandy-Walker malformation (DWM) are described.
