Ectro-amelia syndrome associated with an interstitial deletion of 7q

Am J Med Genet. 1990 Jan;35(1):95-9. doi: 10.1002/ajmg.1320350118.

Abstract

We describe a premature male infant with an interstitial deletion of 7q [46,XY,del(7) (pter----q21.3::q31.3----qter]. Manifestations include absence of lower limbs, unilateral ectrodactyly, facial anomalies, gingival hyperplasia, feeding problems, and atrial septal defect. Chromosome 7 deletions of the q21.3----q31.3 region are reviewed with emphasis on limb anomalies.
