Summary
A girl with partial deletion of the short arms of one chromosome 7 is described. Among many other symptoms she has craniosynostosis. Early closure of cranio-sutures has previously been described in 2 of 3 patients with partial deletion 7. Investigation of a number of genetic marker systems shows that the HL-A, MN, AcP, and GPT loci are not located in the deleted segment.
Zusammenfassung
Es wird ein Mädchen mit teilweiser Deletion des kurzen Armes eines Chromosoms 7 beschrieben. Außer vielen anderen Symptomen hat sie eine Craniosynostose. Frühzeitiger Verschluß der Schädelnähte wurde auch bei 2 von 3 Patienten mit Deletion 7, die in der Literatur beschrieben sind, beobachtet. Untersuchung einer Reihe genetischer Markersysteme zeigt, daß die HL-A-, MN-, AcP- und GPT-loci nicht in dem deletierten Segment liegen.
