Chromosome 6q deletions: A report of two additional cases and a review of the literature

Here we report on two additional cases of distal 6q deletions with one case showing a terminal deletion of chromosome 6 (46,XY, del(6)(pter----q26:)) and one case showing an interstitial deletion of chromosome 6 (46,XY, del(6)(pter----q23::q25----qter)). The association of retinal abnormalities in 6q deletions is supported, and the additional manifestations of skin hyperextensibility, sacral abnormality, and imperforate anus are described.
