Abstract
A child with an atrial septal defect, hypernasal speech with an immobile soft palate, learning difficulties and behavioral problems is reported. The clinical diagnosis in this child was velo-cardio-facial syndrome (VCFS), but cytogenetic analysis showed the presence of a small terminal deletion in 8p23.1-8pter. This observation shows that deletions in 8p23 may lead to features similar to VCFS. This suggests that in patients with VCFS but without a deletion in 22q11, attention should be focussed on 8p.Entities:
