Antenatal diagnosis of deletion chromosome 11(q23-qter) (Jacobsen syndrome).

A case of Jacobsen syndrome, suspected antenatally on the grounds of trigonocephaly and hypoplastic left heart syndrome, is presented. Clinicians are reminded that a hypoplastic left heart should not be assumed to be an isolated malformation and that a careful search for associated malformations can facilitate the recognition of an underlying genetic syndrome.
