Summary
Distal deletion of the short arm of chromosome No. 10 in a psychomotor retarded and malformed boy is described. His karyotype was 46,XY,del(10)(p13),i.e., partial monosomic for a distal segment of the short arm of No. 10. The clinical features included microcephaly, hypertelorism, depressed nasal bridge, bilateral epicanthus, small palpebral fissures, low set ears with small auricles, wide-spaced nipples and congenital heart disease.
