Summary
A tiny interstitial delection of 7p was found in a 5-month-old boy with a craniosynostosis and many anomalies. His karyotype was 46,XY,del(7)(p15.3p21.3). Here we present not only further evidence of an association between craniosynostosis and 7p monosomy, but also deletion mapping to indicate that the critical segment for craniosynostosis lies in the mid-portion of 7p21, that is at 7p21.2 or the proximal part of 7p21.3.
