Summary
In a 41/3-year-old girl we found the karyotype 45,XX,del13(pter→q12). The father showed a balanced translocation 3/13 (karyotype: 46,XY,t(3;13) (p27;q12)).
Psychological investigation of the patient revealed almost normal intelligence (DQ 91). Clinical symptoms were: low birth weight, growth retardation, dolichocephalus, microgenia, antimongoloid slant of the eyes, edema on hands and feet, strabismus convergens, clubfoot (left), slight decrease in IgA and IgM.
