Prenatal detection of cyclopia associated with interstitial deletion of 2p

Am J Med Genet. 1989 Oct;34(2):268-70. doi: 10.1002/ajmg.1320340231.

Abstract

We report on a case of synophthalmic cyclopia and alobar holoprosencephaly associated with an interstitial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 2: del(2)(p21p23). This is the second case with this phenotype in association with deletion in this region, and comparison with the infrequent other cases of 2p deletions suggests a causal relationship between band 2p21 and cyclopia.
