Terminal 3p deletions in two families--correlation between molecular karyotype and phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

The 3p deletion syndrome is a rare disorder caused by deletions of different sizes in the 3p25-pter region. It is characterized by growth retardation, developmental delay, mental retardation, dysmorphism, microcephaly, and ptosis. The phenotype of individuals with deletions varies from normal to severe.
