Abstract
A male infant showed dysmorphology of the head and face, neck, extremities and genitalia, as well as growth and mental retardation. His G-banded karyotype was 46,XY,-1+der(1),t(1;16)(q43;q24)mat. Combined with 5 previously reported cases involving similar terminal deletions beginning at 1q42 or 43, the homology of phenotypic characteristics apparently permits identification of a new deletion syndrome, the first involving chromosome 1.
