Am J Med Genet. 1992 Nov 15;44(5):696-8. doi: 10.1002/ajmg.1320440532.

Abstract

We have investigated a patient with the Robin sequence and a unilateral deficiency of the left forearm. She was found to have a terminal deletion of the long arm of chromosome 4, del(4)(q33). The clinical manifestations of this patient differ from those of 7 previously described patients with a deletion of the same segment.
