Abstract

A patient with microbrachycephaly, high forehead, long philtrum, thin upper lip, downturned corners of the mouth, low set ears with overlapping helix, fifth-finger clinodactyly, small hands and feet, bilateral transverse palmar crease, low total finger ridge count, hypotonia, severe growth and psychomotor delay, mild hypoplasia of corpus callosum, and Arnold-Chiari type 1 malformation is reported. The karyotype showed 46, XY, del(1)(q23q31.2). Coagulation factor V (F5, 1q23) and coagulation factor XIII (F13B, 1q31-q32.1) levels were normal. As expected, antithrombin III (AT3, 1q23-q25.1) serum level and activity were half of normal. We performed a review of the literature on proximal and intermediate deletion lq syndrome, and we hypothesize the existence of only one lq interstitial deletion syndrome, clinically characterized by ATIII deficiency.
