Abstract

We report a new patient with terminal deletion of chromosome 2 with breakpoint at 2q36 and five additional new patients with 2q terminal deletion with breakpoint at 2q37. Hemidiaphragmatic hernia is a novel finding in one patient with a breakpoint at 2q37.1. In comparing these patients to 60 previously reported individuals with 2q terminal deletions, certain physical abnormalities are loosely associated with positions of breakpoint. For example, facial features (e.g., prominent forehead, depressed nasal bridge, and dysmorphic ears and nose), short stature, and short hands and feet were frequent in patients with breakpoints at or proximal to 2q37.3. Reports of horseshoe kidney and Wilms tumor were limited to patients with a breakpoint at 2q37.1, and structural brain anomalies and tracheal anomalies were reported only in patients with breakpoints at or proximal to 2q37.1. Cleft palate was reported only in patients with the most proximal breakpoints (2q36 or 2q35). Neurological effects including developmental delay, mental retardation, autistic-like behavior, and hypotonia were typical in this patient population but did not stratify in severity according to breakpoint. Terminal deletion of the long arm of chromosome 2 should be co...Continue Reading
