Am J Med Genet. 1996 Mar 29;62(3):297-9. doi: 10.1002/(SICI)1096-8628(19960329)62:3<297::AID-AJMG18>3.0.CO;2-F.

Abstract

We describe a girl with a previously unreported de novo duplication of chromosome 4q involving segment q21-q28. Clinical manifestations included growth and psychomotor retardation, facial asymmetry, hypotelorism, epicanthic folds, mongoloid slant of palpebral fissures, apparently low-set auricles, high nasal bridge, long philtrum, small mouth, short neck, low-set thumbs, and bilateral club foot. This phenotype is compared with that of previously reported cases of duplication 4q.
